getaway
the dudes in my family went on a big bad bike trip this past weekend. they had several burst tyres when going through the tankwa karoo. so if you ever decide to do that… take lots of spares. i wish you could take a train right through the karoo – i would LOVE that! and i don’t mean the typical blue train route… more off the beaten track. kind of impossible to take a train to Die Hel though.

neverending story
i bought my nephew the neverending story on DVD for his 10th birthday (which is today). i hope he loves it as much as i did when i was a kid! my brother and i watched it almost all the time after school (i always fast-forwarded the wolf part, if i was on my own). i kind of hated bastian, but loved atreyu. i also really enjoyed falkor and of course always cried when artax died in the swamps of sadness.

wrap it up
here’s a random, ‘pics i’ve saved recently and not so recently’ post
lark rise to candleford
do you like costume dramas? yes. do you like BBC productions? yes. do you like character driven stories set in the English countryside pre-20th century? yes. then you must get this series! i rented the first season and watched it in 2 days. that’s 590 glorious minutes, friends. note: one of the characters name’s is Dorcas. Dork-us! haha.
fancy
remember that german wedding i posted about? well this is what it looked like in the end. fancy! all the ladies wore hats and all the dudes wore coats + tails. now that’s german precision. while we’re talking about weddings…
crystal lake
this is obersee, a lake that is connected to the larger königssee, in the german state of bavaria. these lakes were formed by glaciers in the last ice age, and have the cleanest water in germany. it is quite possibly one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen! to see its location (and loads more photos) click here
