For our Christmas holiday we stayed in St. Augustine, Florida (north-east coast). Some pictures of our holiday event you've already seen at our Christmas blog. St. Augustine calls itself the oldest city of the United States. We don't know if it's true, but you may see some reference to the Spanish colonial architecture there. Although for...

Good-Bye Florida and Welcome Alabama
Finally we left the state of Florida and entered the state of Alabama. We drove past a final Florida State Park (Big Lagoon State Park) and passed the border to Alabama at Orange Beach, which reminded us of Miami Beach, just smaller. Via Gulf Shores and Foley we drove to Magnolia Springs, a small village... Continue Reading →
Pensacola Beach, FL
After the wildlife sightings of alligators, we got a lot of texts, that at least we haven't seen a shark... wrong: There he is... a young hammerhead shark. Some fisherman fished it from the Pensacola Beach Pier. They of course released him in to the waters again. The water is extremely clear. You see everything... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year!

We drove again more than 4 hours to get to our New Year's Eve destination. Unfortunately the weather got worse and worse. We started our journey again with some sunshine, but very cold temperatures already and ended it with pure rain and even colder temperatures. We enjoyed a lovely lunch break in a very funny...

Apalachicola and St. George Island, FL
Apalachicola is a very funky little city at the western corner of Florida (next to the border to Alabama). The small city is very lively, extremely dog friendly (you can take dogs into restaurants, bars etc... they even have a dog carnival parade :-)) and it has lots of funky bars and music clubs. And...

We couldn’t keep that from you..
We saw this at the morning stroll with Eyra on the beach infront of our campground today. Just so sweet... By the way, this was a sunrise (no sunset)! Wishing you all a good day and a further joyful holiday season.
Dominik’s wish came true… Alligators!
We have spent a day visiting two Florida State Parks: Wakulla Springs and Ochlockonee River. Wakulla Springs (a tip of very good friends from us: Thank P & M) is like a forest out of some dreamland. And there.. we saw them: Alligators.. everywhere.. They told us, that gators swim with a speed of 35... Continue Reading →
Christmas Dinner 🎄
Unfortunately we neither had our family with us nor the possibility to do a traditional Fondue Chinoise. So.. a Porterhouse Steak and some minor Christmas decoration needed to do the trick. But we enjoyed some Christmas cookies baking and a wonderful Christmas Eve the three of us.
