The last couple of days I was visiting friends in Prien, Munich and Regensburg. Sadly I wasn’t able to see Thilo (on holidays) & Basti (wasn’t available), but I met Barbara, Evi, Katja, Floh & Helmar (It was sooo good to see you, thank’s a lot !). We haven’t met for ages, or at least not for longer, as I was always too busy with my studies in Freising. Also it was great to be back in Regensburg, it’s such a great city. I have been there for my civilian service, and whenever I have the chance to go back, I will ;-)

Also I was preparing for my England trip. I won’t take too much with me, as Dani & me will live in a small shared house (the same I’ve been during my last Cambridge visits). We plan to look for our own flat by the end of year, and possibly I’ll catch my furnitures then … we’ll see.

The rest of my time I spent reading some mass spectrometry papers (thanks Micha!) and adding content to this website :)

Next time you’ll hear from me in Cambridge – bye bye!

This year was different – I had time for another holiday and I took the chance – this time with my family. I haven’t been with them for 6 or 7 years, therefore it was getting interesting ;-) In the end it turned out as a very good time with my parents and my younger brother Robert. We had a lot of fun and a relaxing time.

BTW: Largo di Garda is a kind of a second homeland, we’ve been there sooo many times – we keep going there. I really really like it. The landscape is great, the leisure activities are endless and the tourism is OK by September. The water direct in front of your tent or caravan, great mountain hiking possibilities, superb climbing area in the north, mountain biking and race cycling on great side roads … … … to be continued!

During this holiday I was reading some scientific journals and Harry Potter 4 (yes … I did). Also I was cycling with my brother quite often! Thankfully my endurance enhanced a lot due the holiday in Switzerland, as I needed it here more than anywhere else. I won’t get into more details, as we rotational read, cycled, swum, had fun and ate, besides relaxed, slept and dreamt – but that was all – *hehe*. Ah, no climbing this year!

You can investigate some pictures if you are interested. Especially the cycle tour pictures can be interesting, whenever you would like to go there with your racing machine …

Sadly, also holidays end. We had a lot of fun and we really enjoyed every single minute. Thanks Dani for that great time!

The last day we packed everything and before we drove home, we decided to visit some popular cave/grotto: The “Höllgrotten”!

The way back home wasn’t that easy. The road to Innsbruck was closed, as some mudflows destroyed roads 1.5 weeks ago. We finally went back on the Autobahn over Lindau and Munich …

That’s all news from our Switzerland holiday … bye!
