What's new?

Aug 30, 2021: Unbelievably, the Madeira album is ready, after a mere 2 years.

Aug 27, 2020: The Iceland album is ready. Next on the list is Madeira.

Aug 16, 2020: Hard to believe, there is progress with the Iceland album. A mere one year after the trip.

Feb 11, 2020: I was on Iceland in August 2019; now I finally found some time to work over the photos. First, I edited my GPS track, which means adding, removing, and relocating waypoints on the GPX record. You can find the result on the Iceland album page. The photos will follow in some days.

Es ging diesmal nach Irland, und zwar mit Marco Polo (nicht Young Line, mit denen ich in früheren Zeiten verreiste). Am 06.09.2018 ging es los; ich flog von Frankfurt/Main ab und gelangte am Nachmittag nach Dublin. Die Reise endete wieder in Dublin am 17.09.2018 mit dem Heimflug nach Frankfurt (und andere Flughäfen).

In August 2019 I took a chance to travel to Iceland for the second time; the first one is already long ago, 1996. This time I went for a Studiosus Hiking trip, 10 days (Iceland tours are quite expensive, so this had to suffice). The trip was from Aug 02 to Aug 11, 2020.

Reist man zum Polarkreis oder Richtung Norden darüber hinaus, muss man sich auf faszinierende Naturschauspiele einstellen. Im Winter wird es nicht hell, da die Sonne den Horizont nicht überschreitet. Im Sommer wird es nicht dunkel, da die Sonne nicht unter dem Horizont verschindet. Außerdem gibt es in der Nähe der Pole das Nordlicht, auch Polarlicht genannt.

A few weeks after my trip to Iceland, another vacation trip was about to start; this time, I expected some higher temperatures. As I already knew the Azores from a trip in 2009, and the Canary Islands from a trip in autumn 2016, there was still Madeira, so: Let's have a look!

Madeira is known for its rugged landscape, for its countless hiking trails that are not quite easy to walk, and for its flowers.

The TI-99/4A is the Home computer from Texas Instruments, and for those of you still with full hair, I should add that in the 1980es, a home computer was something like the PC nowadays. Technology was certainly on a far lower level, but we had fun, really. We learnt to write programs, got creative, and there were, of course, computer games back in those days.
