Travelogue: Zagreb, Croatia – Sights of the Upper and Lower Town

22 April 2010 — In June 2003, I did a business trip to Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia. On a sunny afternoon I took my camera to do a photographic excursion through the Lower Town. When I returned to Zagreb some time later in March 2004, I finally managed to explore the Upper Town as well.

Travelogue: Rhine Falls Schaffhausen, Switzerland

21 April 2010 — A long week-end and beaming sunshine – ideal conditions for an excursion to Switzerland! A sightseeing tour through Zurich has always been high on the list. And while we are in the Zurich area, the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen are worth a stopover, anyway.

Travelogue: Back to the Middle Ages – Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

24 August 2009 — Rothenburg ob der Tauber has become the embodiment of Germany’s romantic past. No wonder that the medieval old town with its tiny cobbled alleyways, half-timbered houses, picturesque churches and towers attracts 2.5 millions of day trippers every year. On May Day we joined the masses of tourists and did an excursion “back to the Middle Ages“.

Travelogue: Amsterdam, Netherlands – Sightseeing in the Old Town

1 January 2009 — Once we had got the travel bug again, we ended up in Amsterdam for a week-end trip. However, the date for our trip couldn’t have been chosen worse … rain, rain and nothing but rain.
