Historic Couture

Valentino Who? The Royal Chambers fashion pieces in Dresden would inspire any fashionista. Intricate couture looks fashioned for royalty displayed are an eye full of rich materials and details. The Schloss museum located in the historic center of the Baroque city is worth a style visit.

A Palace Is Still A Palace

The 18th century residence, The Royal Palace of Caserta is a a sight to behold. While traveling around Naples a stop at in Caserta was a must. The Southern Italian city is home to last great palace built in Europe. To say the least, it is spectacular. Cause of the Covid restrictions I could not go inside. A pity, but the outside garden was sufficiently eye filling, awe inspiring.

I recommend not visiting in August. The heat and sun are beasts making a walk in the garden a sweltering experience.

Back to Salerno

I visited Salerno during a hot summer in August. This charming Southern Italian city is worth a visit in the fall. The old streets, great restaurants and views offer much for travellers.

Gothic Inspiring Wismar

Located on the Baltic, Wismar, the Hansa City is a Gothic Experience worth visiting. As a travel destination the small ciry on the coast has not been overrun by mass tourism. Walking around the narrow streets it is easy to see why Marnau decided to film Nosferatu here. Wismar has the feeling of a place were Vampires once roamed at night.

I Want A New Train Set

Sometimes in life you go to a place that brings back memories. I had train sets a kid, loved playing with them for hours.

Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg brought back those days imaging being the train conductor.

Spread out over three floors the attractions are set up based on a destination of the world, Rio or Rome.

The attention to detail is a marvel with moving street traffic and working lights and of course the trains coming and going from depots.

Flight No. 211 to Abu Dubai or the Millennium Falcon landing from distanced worlds, the model a miniature airport serves many destinations. Passenger terminals, car parks, ground transport, maintenance vehicles landings and take offs are part of the attraction.

Cinderella Should Be Here

When I saw the enchanted Schwerin Castle the fairy tael “Cinderella” came to mind. I started looking for a glass slipper. The pretty as a picture structure is a World Heritage Site.

It is not hard to get to Schwerin. Meclenburg Vorpommern is a slight detour between Berlin and Hamburg via AutoBahn 24.

It Happens In The Reeperbahn

“What Happens in the Reeperbahn Stays in the Reeperbahn.” The St. Pauli’s Red Light district is known for sin. Historically, sailors staying in the Hamburg would visit the Reeperbahn for “fun”. Today, while hit by the tourist overload, in the evening its true character comes out. I recommend a stroll after 18:00.
