Ulm 31.7.

On Sunday we took a train from Neusäß to Ulm. It took about an hour. The weather was unfortunalely first quite clody, but it didn't rain. In Ulm we visited the minster.

Then we had delicious tapas in Besitos.

The old town in Ulm reminded me a bit of Strasboug or Colmar.
























Das Gaswerk in Augsburg

I found the old gas fabric "das Gaswerk" very interesting. They had an art exhibition inside one of the buildings. The art was not nearly as interesting as the old machines.





Augsburg 30.-31.7

I spend a wekend in Augsburg with Uta and Jochen. First we had coffee and delicious cakes. After that we went for a couple hour walk. After the walk we bbq at Uta and Jochen's place. In the evening we attended the Grenzenlos Festival in the old gaswerk in Augsburg. The evening ended in a pub in downtown.

München: Kunstbau - Mondrian und De Stijl


Neben dem Bauhaus hat wohl keine andere Bewegung der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts unseren Alltag so sehr beeinflusst wie die De Stijl-Gruppe um Piet Mondrian und Theo van Doesburg.

Die Ausstellung des Lenbachhauses „Mondrian und De Stijl“ ist die erste umfassende Museumspräsentation in Deutschland, die sich dieser stilbildenden Avantgarde-Gruppe widmet. Sie ist in enger Kooperation mit dem Gemeentemuseum in Den Haag entstanden, Heimat der weltweit umfangreichsten Sammlung an Bildern Piet Mondrians.

More pics when I have patience to sit on the computer.

Kaufbeuren-Augsburg-Neusäß-Ulm-Augsburg-Kaufbeuren

I'm back in Kaufbeuren after a eventful weekend in couple different cities.

Now I'm off to bed. More pics here maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow we are also supposed to go for a bergtour.

Endlich in Kaufbeuren!

I woke up at 4.45 this morning. My plane left at 8.00.

With the same plane traveled apparently an international criminal. He was escorted by a police officer and one other guy (civil cop?). There were two german police officers to pic him up at the Munich airport.

From the airport it took me little over two hours to get here.

The weather has been sunny and rainy. I forgot to take my jacket with me so I might need to buy one here. It's not that warm when the sun is not shining.

Tomorrow I might travel to Augsburg.

I didn't take my camera with me because it's too big. I have to just use my phone instead. It's not that great but I just figured out that I can take panorama pics with it.

Packing my bags


I'm just starting to pack for my next trip. I don't want to leave everything for the last day.

I won't be taking too much stuff and I want to have room for some new clothes as well. I have to take two trains. First to get from the airport to central railway station and then to my final destination, so traveling light makes my life much easier.

The weather forecasts say that the temperatures might be a bit cooler than here, there is also a possibility for some rain.

It's hot hot hot, again


I can't keep my self cool. It's impossible to move or even think at the moment. Tomorrow there should be some thunderstorms also here in Helsinki. Haven't experienced any this summer. I have to say I like thunderstorms.

In one weeks time I'm traveling to Southern Germany. It has been a hot summer there with some heavy thunderstorms and big hails.

Tomorrow though I'm hoping to go out. (It's terassi time!)
