With more than 160 years of history, the London Underground is the oldest underground railway in the world and has the second-longest network of any European underground railway after the Moscow Metro. In addition to the City of London, it covers large parts of the British capital north of the Thames and some neighbouring areas. And apart from exploring London on foot, it is the best way to get around. Simple, fast, clean. Kisses 😘

Piccadilly Circus is a famous road junction and public space in London's West End, known for its large illuminated advertising signs and the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain with the Anteros statue. It's a major traffic intersection and a popular tourist destination, located in the City of Westminster. The area is surrounded by theaters, shops, restaurants, and is a central point for exploring the West End. If you want to experience a lively and bustling area, go to Piccadilly. Kisses 😘

Leicester Square is one of the most famous squares in London. It is located east of Piccadilly Circus and north of Trafalgar Square and forms a busy pedestrian zone. Countless tourists flock here. It is the opposite of tranquil. Illuminated billboards surround it. It is loud and bustling.

The square is considered the centre of London's cinema scene, with several large cinemas (including Empire, Odeon and Vue) and numerous premieres taking place there. Among other thin...

After enjoying my fantastic hotel and wonderful room, I headed straight to the Builders Arms pub in Kensington, where I had a wonderful glass of Chardonnay 😍 I relaxed for a while longer and then set off for bustling London! Kisses 😘

My perfect day 🩷 in London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 starts in Kensington Gardens, right across from my hotel (Milestone Kensington). There's something magical 🧙 about this garden – or is it just because of its close connection to the classic book "Peter Pan"? 😉 (I love this book and the films based on it – I can practically play along there). Whether you are an art lover (there are two world-famous galleries for contemporary art here and the Architecture Pavilion), a music lo...

After my pictures of the Saar, it's time to go back to London. 🩷 Kensington. I love Kensington 🩷 Especially my hotel there: the Milestone Kensington. Directly opposite Kensington Garden, which I absolutely love strolling through. An area to unwind in the glorious weather!
And also the residential streets behind the hotel: Breathtakingly great! Tip: The "Builders Arms" pub! Kisses 🩷🤍

Aachen - also known as a spa town - has some remarkable fountains. And Aachen is not Aachen without stopping by the cathedral!

In the pictures you can see (in order from picture 2):
Elisenbrunnen:
A well-known landmark with an open foyer with a Doric portico and a pavilion to the left and right. The warm thermal water of the Kaiserquelle (52 °C) flows from two drinking fountains, which has a sulphurous odour but is said to have healing properties. Yuck. You really have to con...

I had a relaxed morning and lunch in Düsseldorf at the weekend.

Düsseldorf is a well-known fashion and art city in the west of Germany. While the old town (famous for the longest bar in the world, which simply means that one pub is next to the other..... together then the longest bar), modern business and commercial districts lie to the west of the river. There are numerous exclusive boutiques along Königsallee and in Schadowstraße. "See and be seen" is the motto here! The Schadowst...

The Saar loop. It is not exactly a loop, but rather an almost 360 degree turn of the Saar. One of the most famous sights in the Saarland. Wonderful to sail on excursion boats or to view from above. For many visitors to the Saarland, the view of the Saar Loop will remain unforgettable forever. Kisses 😘

Preparing my bday - next part:
Where better to celebrate a milestone birthday than in a place that almost feels like home? Besides Austria, this is definitely the Saar for me. Home means arriving. Feel good without having to sort yourself out. Instant relaxation. The Saar region has plenty of relaxation to offer. And the culinary delights are definitely not neglected. You can go out for a great meal and there are excellent wineries. So for me it means: I'm celebrating my birthday at home...

One of my reasons for going to London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 at the beginning of May was a shopping trip. I had to choose a dress for my upcoming birthday. And I found what I was looking for...... 2.5 hours of feeling like a princess 👑 Into the dress, out, next, turn, huge mirrors around you and service just for me. A dream for all girls 🩷 I chose the white dress 🩷🤍 as the party theme is pink and white. What else 🥰 (I had MANY dresses on - these two were in the final sele...

Hampton Court once had one of the most magnificent gardens in the whole of Europe. And rest assured: the 24 hectares, divided into 3 gardens, are still magnificent today!
The royal private garden to the south of the palace was restored in 1995 as a formal Baroque garden as it was in 1702. At the southern end, a richly crafted wrought iron fence runs along the winding banks of the Thames. There is also a so-called knot garden and a pond garden consisting of flower beds. This section is co...

I really took my time to listen to the interesting description of the audio guide tour of Hampton Court Palace and was able to take a relaxed stroll through the magnificent rooms of the King and Queen, marvelling at Georgian rooms and picture galleries. You should definitely take a day and let it all sink in. Kisses 😘

For me as an amateur chef cuisine, a visit to the kitchen at Hampton Court Palace was of course essential. Wow - I could have let off steam there! Around 1530, Henry VIII had a court of around 1,200 people living with him in the palace. For this purpose, the initially "smaller" kitchen was extended to 50 rooms covering a total area of 3,350 square metres, which were arranged around several courtyards according to an ingenious system. One of the huge fireplaces is still lit for demonstration p...

Off the ferry, I first went to Hampton Court Palace before London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🩷. A Tudor castle 🏰 from the 16th century. It is located in Richmond upon Thames, the rather affluent outskirts of south-west London. No. Social housing is definitely not here. The streets meander along dreamlike villas with beautiful driveways. There's plenty to admire and marvel at. Kisses 😘

Off to London - I'm really in love with London. 🩷 And so I could hardly wait to get back over there after what felt like an eternity of 6 months. To avoid the aeroplane, I once again took the ferry ⛴️. Overnight stay in Calais - the hotel is simple, but absolutely clean. And located right next to the harbour. I boarded the ferry very early in the morning. I can really only recommend this option for "coming over". Completely relaxed and easy. The priority check-in makes things a lot eas...

Today, Rheinfels Castle in the Rheingau is one of the largest castle and fortress ruins in Europe. Developed into a Renaissance castle under the Counts of Hesse and later expanded into an extensive fortress, Rheinfels is one of the most important sites on the Middle Rhine. As one of the few bastions on the Rhine, it was unsuccessfully besieged and not destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and the War of the Palatinate Succession.

There are many interesting things to discover in the cas...

Rheinfels Castle, built in 1245 near St. Goar on the Rhine, directly on the Loreley rock, is also considered a ruin. Anyone who imagines a broken or dilapidated castle: Far from it. It still rises majestically above the Rhine Valley today. It has been sensationally preserved. To be more precise, the castle is a spur castle situated on a ridge between the left bank of the Rhine and the Gründelbach valley above St. Goar. After its expansion into a fortress, it was the largest fortification in ...
