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.

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.
