Our vacation to Lesvos
About a week ago, our travel agency informed us that our vacation in Greece had been cancelled. Due the current Corona situation all of their flights in May would be cancelled. Of course, we wanted to go back to Lesvos for twelve days. We were really excited about this. It would be so nice to…
Razor Blades
So I thought that maybe the raw materials needed to make razor blades are rare and that makes it expensive. Although it is kinda hard to find which materials are used, I could not find anything very rare or expensive. Of course, the blades are made of high quality steel with a special coating, but…
Sallandse Heuvelrug
Begin this month we stayed a long weekend in a hotel on the “Sallandse Heuvelrug”. A perfect way to get away from everything for a little. The “Sallandse Heuvelrug” is not very far away from the area we both grew up and so we both have been here before. With the current Covid-19 situation were…

The Oracle of Orpheus
As our holiday next year to Lesvos is planned, Mel (as she does every year) starts to send suggestions of places to visit. It is amazing, every year she surprises us with so many beautiful sites to see. There was one spot she was planning to show us this year, but didn’t as there is…
Almost off to Sweden…
One more day at work and then we are off to Sweden. I have been really looking forward to this. And I not alone. It will be good for us to get together again with Mel. It really has been too long that we saw her. And I’m looking forward to some real Greek hugs.It…
