🎼 …’cause this land’s the place I love and here I’ll stay. ⛴️ Well, Harry and I are working on the latter but it has proven to be really difficult to find a place to live permanently up in East Frisia. Accordingly, we had to travel back home last April at the end of a … Continue reading Spiekeroog: Ferry ‘Cross The North Sea →

About time to continue my reports from our holiday to the island of Spiekeroog back in April. Understandably, my lovely husband wanted to spend one day hiking through the dunes to the east of the village. Unfortunately, there are no paved paths there, so I wouldn’t be able to go there with my wheelchair. Well, … Continue reading Spiekeroog: Father-Daughter Day →

Time to wrap up our tour of the island with the third and final part. We resume our tour at “Haus Wittdün” where we had rented our apartment (red spot 16) We follow the junction directly opposite the house and reach the island’s Catholic church which was built in 1970 (red spot 17). It is … Continue reading Spiekeroog – a tour of the island (part 3) →

About time for the second part of our tour of the island. Please pay attention: some consecutive words are linked to different photos. First, we go back to the small wood alongside the street “Bi d’Utkiek” (Low German: at the lookout) and follow the path leading up the dunes to the North (red spot 7). … Continue reading Spiekeroog – a tour of the island (part 2) →

Goodness…! 😯It has been a month since we returned from Spiekeroog and I have not yet published a report about our stay on the island. The day after our rail, bus and ferry trip to what Harry refers to as the most beautiful island in the world, we started a nice scenic round trip through … Continue reading Spiekeroog – a tour of the island (part 1) →

It’s almost two weeks that Harry and I returned from our holiday trip to Spiekeroog – about time to publish some reviews. And what a beautiful island this is, folks…! Originally, we had planned to spend seven days at mainland East Frisia before traveling to the island. But on the tram that would bring us … Continue reading Spiekeroog, here I come! →

Wrapping up our holiday to East Frisia, Ludovica was going to travel with us on the same buses and trains. Well, at least until Bremen Central Station where she would leave us to catch a plane to bring her home to Italy. The evening before, when we were sitting together to have a beer at … Continue reading East Frisia, Day 8: Time to Say Goodbye →

On Friday, the day before our journey home, we took Ludovica for a bus trip to Greetsiel. In fact, it was my first trip to that place, too. And it turned out arguably the best day of our holiday. Greetsiel is famous for their twin mills and a scenic harbour area and might be the … Continue reading East Frisia, Day 7: With Ludovika in Greetsiel →

Ludovica is a photographer from Italy who contacted us earlier this year. She told us she had been “creating a photographic reportage project with the intention of demonstrating how technology, and specifically love dolls, are helping others not only with their state of mind, but also to find a sincere form of companionship.” The intention … Continue reading East Frisia, Day 5 & 6: Welcome to Dornumersiel, Ludovica! →

Day 4 already…Harry didn’t feel well yesterday – maybe because of the heat wave that we had had for about two weeks. So, we chose to stay at the apartment. We had planned to go out again and visit some of the neighbouring “Siel” villages but Harry didn’t sleep well last night, so we postponed … Continue reading East Frisia, Day 4: Sunset →

The name of Dornumersiel’s harbour is Accumersiel, hence the title of this post. The reasons for this name go back in history, I believe. We slept quite long and there are no buses from Dornumersiel on Sundays, anyway, so we stayed here to take a little stroll to the harbour and back. I just love … Continue reading East Frisia, Day 2: Accumersiel →

Finally…!I had been looking forward to coming back to this place since we had to leave and head back home last May. Even more so as my lovely husband spent a few days on the island of Spiekeroog on his own. I don’t know how I would have made it through those days, had my … Continue reading East Frisia, Day 1: Back to Paradise →
