.: Son of Hibachi (portable grill) ...unser erster Test :.
Wir können diesen Holzkohle-Grill wirklich absolut – ohne Einschränkungen – empfehlen. Für alle, die schnell mal grillen wollen (wir haben ihn z.B. für´s Campen gekauft),
die für 1-4 Personen eine kleine Gartenparty feiern wollen oder einfach
auch mal alleine schnell mal ein Stück Fleisch auf den Grill legen
wollen ist des Teil DER IDEALE GRILL!
Dieser wirklich günstige Holzkohle Grill (ab. ca. 64,00 € incl. Versand) ist schnell und ohne
persönliches Zutun einsatzbereit, die Grillfläche reicht aus um bis zu
vier Steaks gleichzeitig zu grillen, der Rost ist stabil und die
Selbstreinigungsfunktion sowie das Verstauen in die hitzebeständige
Tasche vor und nach dem Grillen ist einfach nur genial.
Simply put, the Son of Hibachi is a well made most durable
portable barbecue! With 170 inches of cooking space and a
weight of less than 15 pounds, this barbecue goes where you go. Sporting
events, hunting, fishing, camping, backyards, picnics, patios, boating
and more.

.: Nach fränkischer und sächsischer Schweiz jetzt das Original :.
Nachdem
wir in den ersten Wochen dieses Jahres ziemlich eingespannt waren und auch beruflich einiges um die Ohren hatten, sehen wir unserem ersten längeren Trip mit Sehnsucht entgegen. Was bietet sich mehr an, als mal einen ganzen Nachmittag in Gedanken zu schwelgen und daraus einen handfesten Plan zu entwickeln. Stand zunächst noch Österreich auf der Liste ganz oben, änderte sich alles mit der Sichtung einiger sehr genialer Bilder und Reiseberichte aus der Schweiz. Gesagt - getan, in reichlich 2 Wochen werden wir gen Schweiz aufbrechen, Fernziel soll der Lago di Como (EN/GER) in Italien sein. Um vom Engadin (EN/GER) einige Eindrücke zu sammeln, werden wir zunächst das illustre Dörfchen Samnaun anpeilen (wohl eher wegen Diesel und einiger anderer zollfreier Artikel). Dann soll´s weiter durch´s Inn-Tal gen St. Moritz gehen, schlussendlich wollen wir einige Tage am und rund um den Lago di Como verbringen. Montag, 6. Mai 2013

.: Mainzigartig :.
For all the connections that we have to Wiesbaden, H and I have not really had the chance to explore Mainz, just across the Rhine, together. We tried for a windshield tour (Spitzentour) of the Market Place and sites over the weekend but we were pressed for time, first distracted by the promise of a flea market.
That turned out to be a time-consuming disappointment—an “East-Enders” Flohmarkt as my mother calls such sub-par traps because of the strange preponderance of the British melodrama for sale.
Nonetheless, we made it into the old city with a little time left to marvel at the main square, which hosted Johann Gutenberg’s first workshop and publishing house (although I think this is always a problematic claim to lay, like a lot of places all over advertising, truthfully, that Schiller/Luther/Goethe slept here) and dominated by the spires of the Cathedral of Mainz (Dom zu Mainz).
This thousand year old cathedral was the seat of one of the first Holy Sees created north of the Alps, at the nexus of several ancient trade-routes, and modelled after the original Basilica of Saint Peter’s in the Vatican.
Since the Middle Ages, the cathedral was granted the right to crown the kings and emperors of Germany and the Holy Roman Empire, which could not always take place in this venue, because the place had extraordinary bad luck with fires and other disasters that put it out of commission.
It was rebuilt, however, each time with more protections, stone and then steel as opposed to wood, and is probably now nearly indestructible. We had the chance to enjoy a nice brunch with an excellent view of the square and more resolve to visit it properly very soon and discover the rest of this gorgeous and storied city.
