SVALBARD – STRUCK BY BEAUTY

It doesn’t happen that often, but I’m a bit quiet about here. And if that happens, more new plans come in to play.

Wait, wait wait wait wait wait. Did you really think it would be all about Leonie?

You all know that she strikes me every day with her beauty, humor and voice in the adventure of my life. Is there any need for more hardstyle written torture?

Oh wait, wait wait wait wait wait. Don’t forget to check Leonie’s Polarsteps for lots and lots of stories and pictures.

Wait, waaaaaiiiit. Honey, waiiiiit, waaaaaaaaiiiiiiit for meeeee.

BÜTGENBACH – ARDENNES

Bonjour, Guten Morgen, Moooguuh. You never know how to start a conversation here. Bütgenbach is a nice little town in Belgium, near a reservoir lake and the ‘Vennbahn’. Which makes it a perfect spot for cycling, mountainbiking, trailrunning and hiking. And that’s why I’m here for. Sporty me.

Still having some troubles with these old railway signals. How do I know when it’s safe to continue. I need to know before I’m losing track.

BERLIN – SEE YOU NEXT TIME

We are done and gone. Walked at least another marathon in the city, saw all the things we had to see and even more like one of the ‘Berliner Unterwelten’ tours and a nice guided tour at the ‘Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche’ old and new-style. Both impressive and educational as well as almost everything we’ve seen the last days.

We certainly became experts in traveling with the public transport. We even passed a train station three times, with three different trams in just a bit more then three minutes. That must have been a day record for Dutch tourists in Berlin.

Please check Leonie’s Polarsteps for lots of pictures or just take a look for yourself one day. I’m sure we will, we forgot something.

BERLIN – DILEMMAS

Vitamins are very important. One of my favorite German vitamin is the ‘Currywurst’. But there’s always this daily issue, do I order it with fries or a bun. If it’s raining I think I prefer the bun. On sunny days fries taste much better. Or is it the other way around?

Anyway, if you think this is weird, you should know Leonie only likes the “Currywurst’ if it’s cut into small diagonally slices. And wait there is more, preferably cut by a machine, not by hand. So who’s the weirdo here?
