Comfort Food

My mother brought us some "Milchreis" from Germany and with the evenings getting colder and colder over here, it was time for some comfort food. And so we heated up some milk and sugar, added the rice and stirred diligently for about 30 minutes. Served with some fruits and cinnamon it was a delicious dinner!

Chasing Waterfalls

A few instagram pics from our trip to the VicFalls.
It was great to visit the falls - this time with very high water levels!
I'm loving the rainbow in the second picture. At some point we could even see a full 180° rainbow. And we spent some lovely days up there where it still feels like summer.

Sunset Saturday VII

I wasn't sure if I would like Lima, but I got to spend a few days there during my trip last year. And so I went to explore a little bit of this huge city (mostly the nice, touristy places). The atmosphere during the early evening on the many lively places in the quarter where I was staying was very urban, busy, with lots of traffic around. In all the hustling around me on the ground, it felt nice to take a look at the beautiful quiet evening sky.

a little video of our trip to Mozambique

I finally managed to upload this little fim from our roadtrip through Mozambique.
We drove through Maputo, took the ferry to Catembe and then made our way through the sand and dunes to Punta do Ouro on the coast. The town of Punta do Ouro is really built on sand - no roads there! The long stretches of sand pistes were extremely bumpy and we saw quite a few cars who got stuck in the sand but we were lucky and the landscape was still beautiful to look at.
Thanks to David for the car and to Björn for being a great offroad driver!

Sunset Saturday VI

St. Kilda near Melbourne. It was our last evening in Autralia and we were walking along the beach before stopping at a bar to enjoy some sun-downers. The sailing boats in the distance looked tiny and like some kind of secret code against the bright sky. It was such a nice atmosphere to see the sun going down over the quiet ocean.

Dog: Check!

Yes, we (finally) got a dog. Last Sunday we went to the shelter "just to have a look" and came home with a sweet dog that has since been staying with us. She is getting more confident and curious about her new home and owners by the day, so it's been fun having her around!

Sunset Saturday V

A perfect, pastell-colored sunset in Phuket, Thailand with some beautiful cloud formations. I love the reflections of the sun on the water and the sand. We spent a quiet weekend there back in 2009 and while I didn't like the super-touristy town of Phuket, I loved the beach and the surf. It was still the rainy season, hence the clouds, but it was actually nice to view the rain come and go from our terrace.
