Airport Napoli 2012

Waiting for our plane to take off from Naples Aiport. After two weeks on Ischia we took the ferry and taxi. At noon we were starving and had a small lunch at decent prices at Naples Airport. Delicious, the Italians know how to cook.

Elsfleth, Hunte 5 August 2012

Elsfleth, Hunte 5 August 2012, originally uploaded by manfred schloesser.

Where the river Hunte meets the river Weser Elsfleth was founded around the 9th century. It was a place for shipbuilding and shipping companies. Its decline came with the upcoming of steam navigation and steel hulls.
Now Elsfleth still hosts a nautical college. We are visiting Elsfleth quite regularly with our own sailing boat and enjoy the "small escapes".
The German weather forecast is not as good as it used to be. For this weekend they predicted thunderstorms and heavy rain. And we canceled our planned trip and just only visited Elsfleth. As you can see with no thunderstorm but with sunshine and some clouds. I think next time I will not even take a look at the weather forecast.

Emma am See 2012, originally uploaded by manfred schloesser.

This garden restaurant got a complete renewal in 2010. The name refers to Count Emma. The legend reports that she gave the 500 acre to the citizens of Bremen in 1032.
Now you can sit and sip your wine in the Buegerpark and enjoy the garden atmosphere. The Buergerpark is an English garden and open for free public access. We love to visit this place which is in walking distance from our home.
