HAVING A GOOD TIME

What does people do when it's hot and where electricity controls your life. Coz. this is one of the major problems in Zanzibar. It comes and goes whenever Dar Er Salaam wants, coz. that is where the electricity comes from, transported via a cable in the water that was build in the 60'ies.
So young people that are not addicted to computer like we in the western countries find more funny things to do. Maybe a little bit dangerous but at least it's like a free party going on every night.
Jumping into the water from a high wall along the shore of Stone Town.
The water temperature in January might come to 30-32 degrees so don't worry nobody gets a flue.
Foreigners and locals enjoy sitting on the wall and watching the sun go down and people jumping and making funny figures in the air, some of them more brave then the other. There is a good sistem going on. One of the boys controls that nobody is down in the water and another one screams out loud "Go".

FJÄDERHOLM ISLAND , STOCKHOLM MAJ 2011

During a short visit in Stockholm last may I visited for the firt time the little island of  Stora Fjäderholmen, about 20 minutes with the boat out on the archipelago. On the island there are several cafés/restaurant. During the spring time birds nest here and wherever you go you see seagulls or gooses. REally cute to see how to take care of their eggs, among all the toursit having picnic and sunbathing.

Handycraft shops and exhibition are part of the attractions on the island. Even a whisky distillery  (Mackmyra Swedish Whishy) can be found there.

GALWAY A LOVELY TOWN IN IRLAND

Found some pictures from last year and I thought I share them with you. We were one week in Irland last Spring. For me it was the second time and I could see the new buildings and the EU money that they used to restore old houses and streets and parks.

Galway is really a special little town on the west coast of Irland. People are lovely and food in the pub, and the music is good.

Here just some street pictures.

LES CALANQUES DE PORTE MIOU

Marseille and its surroundings are knows for something called "Calanques". What is that?

It's a natural inlet. The Mediterranean Sea just cuts between the land and forms these magnificent places, like the picture above. French people like to walk and spend their week-ends out in the nature. You will find here a lot of people taking a bath, or just simply enjoy a pic-nic here with the whole family.

In Cassis you will find the entrance to the Port Miou Calanque, really worth trakking and enjoying the sun, the pine trees and the allround atmosphere.
