Nepal here I come

Finally the waiting time for the next big holidays is almost over. Only a half day of work tomorrow. My flight will be around 10pm Friday evening from Frankfurt to Delhi with Air India and from Delhi to Kathamdu were I will arrive Saturday in the afternoon. After some sighseeing in the Kathmandu valley I will go by bus to Pokhara where the 11 day trekking will start. Highlight of the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek will be the Annapurna Basecamp and Poon Hill. Right now is the best season to go trekking. So I hope for nice weather and pictures.
Here is a small overview of the Tour. The Trekking is the left part connected with lines. Not the exact points but about the area.

After the Trekking Tour I will fly with Yeti Airlines (I flew them before and I am still alive ;) ) from Pokhara to Kathmandu and with Air India back to Delhi. Here I will go on a 1 week tour "The Golden Triangle". Highlight will be the Taj Mahal. This is the last of the 7 New Worldwonders I have not been to. So if everything goes will have visited them all :). After that tour back to cold Germany.

Fall time at the Bodensee

The good weather is following me. The view is from the Gehrenberg close to Markdorf. Sadly the weather was not clear and we could not really see the alps. But the sky was clear and the milky way was visible.

Hamburg

What a weekend. First to mention of course is the 1:0 victory in the Bundesliga vs Hannover with the world largest choreography for the 125th anniversary of the team, and second to mention is the fabulous weather. I can not belive we had 2 days of sunshine and 1 day cloudy but warm. The last times I was there it was always raining or it was bloody cold.
Of course the first thing we did was the harbour cruise to get an impression of how big the harbour is. I did it at least 5 or 6 times but still I like it. Also I have never walked the old Elbtunnel that is not in use anymore for cars but for pedestrians and bikes. Saturday afternoon was the football match - 57000 people sold out. Sunday there was lots of walking - Michel - Hafencity also the sailing ship Rickmer Rickmers. Monday I went the second time into the miniature wunderland which is still amazing. Especially the new airport with planes starting and landing. WOW! After some time in the museum we took the ferry down to Övelgönne for a walk at the Elbe to Teufelsbrück. Check out the pictures. Many more are on my homepage (www.jsbpics.de)
