Travel
England, Day 4 1/2
Back home after a great time with Jasper and his family. Will be coming back during the summer holidays with our campervan. With the risk of repeating myself, flying has become a very smooth experience, 20 minutes from touchdown to the train at BER.
England, Day 4
We strolled through the Brighton Car Boot Sale. In many ways things are similar in Germany and the UK. Car boot sales are one of them. Saw an N64 (they guy wanted £50!) and a Sega Mega Drive.
England, Day 3
Jasper and I wanted to see the windfarm close to Brighton since a while. We went there today.
England, Day 2
The day nicely separated into three activities and peak busyness: we went to the RSPB Pulborough Brooks to take pictures, visited Dan (Hi Dan!), Jasper’s business partner, and went to the movies to see Project Hail Mary (second time).
England, Day 1
Arrived safely in Brighton, Jasper and I went out straight for a photo tour through the hills above Rottingdean.
Back Home
We made it back from Mayrhofen. Around 550 km, about six and a half hours with one break and a short traffic jam along the way, which is pretty reasonable for that distance.
Winter Vacation (Pt. 7)
Last full day in Mayrhofen. A round of Hus, a Mario Kart World cup, three groups heading in different directions and Tilian finally spending his pocket money.
Winter Vacation (Pt. 6)
Mountain day for everyone. We rode up the Penken together, Tilian took second place in his ski school race, Aika had her five minutes of fame and we closed out the evening at Goldkind.
Mayrhofen at Night
Nadine and I had an evening out in Mayrhofen. On the walk home, we stopped for a few neon sign photos.
Winter Vacation (Pt. 5)
Kellin was back on his feet. We spent the morning walking along the Ziller, rode the Zillertalbahn home and ended the evening at an escape room.
Winter Vacation (Pt. 4)
Kellin woke up with a fever, so my father-in-law and I stayed back with him while the others hit the slopes.
Winter Vacation (Pt. 3)
Up at 5. Getting better.
Winter Vacation (Pt. 2)
Day two started at 4:30 in the morning. The older one couldn’t sleep anymore. Great start to a vacation day.
Winter Vacation (Pt. 1)
We made it to Mayrhofen. Around 600 km, about 7 hours on the road with two short breaks. The drive was smooth, nothing to complain about.
2025 Wrapped
My year 2025 in numbers and highlights, wrapped-style. First attempt at summarizing an eventful year. More platforms offering wrapped/replay summaries obviously helped.
