Fehmarn

Schreibe einen Kommentar

My first longer vacation for over a year took me back to Fehmarn, a little island in the eastern sea that I had visited the last time when I was 8 or 9 years old.

We had rented a flat in Puttgarden on the northern coast in „Op de Wei 2“ which was called „Große Strandperle“. This turned out to be a very cosy and nice flat which had exactly the right flair for summer vacation. Obviously the in 1900 built house had been restored with great effort and furnished and decorated with love and Ikea.

From our flat one could easily reach the northern beach by a short walk. Puttgarden beach is not really meant to be a beach for swimming. It’s stony and only provides a small area with sand but more than nice for a walk in the evening which we did directly the first evening after an eleven hours drive (lots of traffic jams)

There’s a lot to see and we didn’t make all the spots I would have liked to ..but those are the areas that can be seen in the pictures below:

  • Puttgarden Beach
  • Reptile Exhibition
  • Aquarium
  • History Museum
  • Westermarkelsdorf Beach
  • Lemkenhafen Mill Museum
  • Lighthouse Flügge
  • Nature Protection Area „Grüner Brink“
  • Beach „Grüner Brink“
Unfortunately the weather turned out to be bad the last two days so I couldn’t go and see „Staberhuk“ which was on my list …but this will not have been the last time I have visited that nice island. I’ll be back!

The Revival Tour 2012 – Europe

Schreibe einen Kommentar

So while I was on summer vacation the announcement came that Chuck Ragan brings back the Revival Tour to Europe.

Those who were part of last year’s tour already know what they can expect of those concerts: four awesome, breathtaking hours of music played by very talented and often unbelievably unknown artists.

I remember when I saw last year’s tour announcement. I was happy to see Dave Hause on the line up. I had just bought his solo record due to Dan Andriano’s suggestion and found out that I was not able to take it out of my car stereo or from my iPod. I had already heard stuff from the Loved Ones before but never had the pleasure to see them live, so I was looking forward to see him play his solo stuff as part of the tour.

Overall I feel blessed that I had the honor to see the Revival Tour twice last year and Dave Hause has probably become one of my favorite live musicians.

So this year’s Revival Tour brings Chuck Ragan, probably well-known to all the concert goers and

  • Cory Branan
  • Emily Barker
  • Jay Malinowski
  • & Rocky Votolato

 

Presale has already begun and to my biggest disappointment  the Wiesbaden show is already sold out, so I won’t be able to join it this year 🙁
