Yesterday I found a Zebra Finch near the Valldemossa Police Station. It can be found nativly in Australia and Timor-Leste (Southeast Asia). Of course, the bird is called Zebra Finch because of its remarkable zebra markings on the throat and upper breast. The beak is intensive red, and as my Zebra Finch is male, it

The urbanization „Cala Blava“ is situated at the majorcan South coast. The small sandy beach is called „Cala Mosca“, even thogh it is commonly known as the „Cala Blava“ beach. But don’t hesitate to head even further for the rocks on the right and left hand side of the beach. It will be less crowded

30°
Heute habe ich mal wieder einen kleinen Abstecher auf die Terrasse gemacht. Es ist zu heiss zum Rausgehen! Unter der Hitze leidet(e) auch die Sonnenblume, wie man sehen kann. Sie ähnelt eher einer Strohblume. Den Petunien und dem Portulak machen die Hitze jedoch nichts aus. Liegt es vielleicht an ihrer Farbe? Zum Abschied des Tages

Marítimo
Wenn man in Calas de Mallorca den „Paseo Marítimo“ – eine Promenade über der Steilküste – lang geht, hat man eine sehr schöne Aussichten an der Küste entlang. Einmal der Ausblick in Richtung Porto Cristo im Nordosten. Wenn man die Promenade weitergeht, sieht man dann Cala Murada im Südosten. Abends geht man sich, wie immer,

Cala Antena
The smallest bay in Calas de Mallorca is called „Cala Antena“. Obviously it is less crowded than the bigger bays. If you fancy to chill out, that’s the beach where you should go. Nowhere else in Calas you can have a cool Mojito right at the beach. Therefore you must stop at the „Mojito“ beach-hut,

Doorways in Valldemossa
On my morningstroll through Valldemossa I did some sketching. First I passed by at the Nils Burwitz exhibition. Fascinated by his huge watercolour paintings, I got out my paints and did some doorways. This is the doorway of the „Iglesia Parroquial de San Bartolome“, constructed in the XIII century. This is Nils Burwitz doorway. 11

Showtime
Again Showtime in Calas de Mallorca. This time Graham came his way to sing some English oldies. He must be some 65 years old, but sings three hours without a break, not getting tired of satisfying more and more song requests. The audience having a jug of Sangria. Graham singing some Beatles songs. 11 x

Rock ’n‘ Roll Rocker Nights
Another night in Calas de Mallorca. I got trapped in a time machine… The one and only Elvis Presely. Only two of The Beatles left. Ringo Starr had to switch to the lead guitar, Paul as always playing the bass guitar.
Ich schreibe und ich reise. Mal bin ich ganz weit weg, mal erkunde ich meine Stadt oder nur meinen Block, manchmal reise ich durch mein Zimmer. Dazu gibt es meistens Zeichnungen aus meinem Sketchbook. Auch mal Fotos. Und vielleicht bringe ich von der ein oder anderen Reise auch ein leckeres Rezept mit. Hier findest du all meine Erinnerungen. Schön, dass du vorbei schaust!
