Ascona 24.09.2011.Heute Morgen versteckt sich die Sonne leider hinter Hochnebelschwaden und zeigt sich nur hie und da. Doch die Temperaturen sind angenehm so um die 18C. Wir unternehmen einen Spaziergang nach Ascona. Der Weg fhrt ab dem Campingplatz an der Maggia entlang. Hier wurde vor einigen Jahren der Planetenweg angelegt. Er beginnt mit der Sonne welche einst als eine gelbe Kugel von ei

So... were back in Tokyo Yesterday was our last day in Kyoto. We spent it visiting the Northwest of the city. Our first aim was to get by bus to the socalled Golden Pavillion. Like other temples it used to be a residence and later it became a temple. It was very impressive but packed with people. It was difficult to take pictures without someones head or arm in the background. We

De sidste dage i Singapore Af ukendte grunde blev natten til fredag en svnls en af slagsen. Jeg kunne simpelthen ikke falde i svn. Da jeg vkkede Camilla omkring 10 tiden var hun lidt irriteret da hun benbart frst lige var faldet i svn. Vi var derfor begge enormt trtte. Men svn eller ej s ville vi bruge den sidste dag i Singapore p at se Marina Bay som vi ikke nede om tor

My Dear FriendsUpon my arrival in China I decided that I would try my very hardest to take in everything Chinese during every moment of the dayeven when I am alone at home.
