Alster. Rudern. Segeln. Sommer

What a beautiful evening along the Alster Lake (it is actually a river), Binnenalster :).

Plus 20°C after 7pm, strolling along the waterfront, parking available, too many joggers, but such a beautiful scenery and light. Busy on the lake, with little wind for sailors and surprisingly many rowing boats.

Buchhandlung Torsten Bernhardt (Antiquariat)

Was bin ich froh, dass es das ZVAB gibt, in dem sich alle kleinen Buchhandlungen und Antiquariatsläden des Landes (und Auslandes) mit ihren wunderbaren Schätzen finden.

Wir fanden ein grossartiges maritimes Buch zum kaufen (über ZVAB), und sahen viele viele andere interessante Bücher.

Das Arboretum Ellerhoop in Thiensen

Nur eine kurze Autofahrt von Hamburg entfernt, Richtung Norden (z.B. über die A23, bis Tornesch) befindet sich dieser fantastische botanische Garten bzw. Park.

Was für eine Augenweide! Grosszügig angelegt, und sehr liebevoll gepflegt, das merkt man sofort. Für um die 7,- Euro Eintritt haben wir dort viele Stunden verbracht, inklusive einer Pause in dem . . . → Read On: Das Arboretum Ellerhoop
