De vuelta en Berlin

Adios España!

Alemania esta loco por el futbol!!!

"Oh mis amigos, en la calle pasabamos las horas"

Bueno, por mi desperdida estoy intentando escribir mi ultimo blog en español. Mis ultimos dias en España fueron increíble. Disfruté cada momento: fui a la playa, visité una cueva como en una pelicula, compartí comidas ricas con mis amigos, partiné otra vez a lado de mar (como voy a echar de menos eso!!!) y pase mucho tiempo con la gente que ahora estoy echando de menos muchisimo.
Una amiga mia me preguntó: ¿Que has aprendido en los ultimos meses en España? Creo que aprendi muchas cosas, y la cosa más importante: ¡la vida es buena!!! Tener amigos es necesario porque solo no se puede disfrutar la vida. Además aprendi ver adelante porque cosas buenas van a venir otra vez. Claro, aprendi muchisimo español gracias por la paciencia de mis amigos. Ahora se la diferencia entre marihuana y hachís ;-) Pero bueno, y otras cosas más utiles.
Mi fiesta por mi desperdida fue de "puta madre"!!! Gracias a todos por pasar ese ultimo noche conmigo. Espero que podemos vernos muy pronto. Muchos besitos a todos.

Spanische Nächte

Eine laue Briese, ein strahlender Sternenhimmel, Kerzenlicht, Lifemusik im Hintergrund - eine Mischung aus Gitarre und Gesang, Kinder kreischen, Teller klappern - der Plaza lebt auf, erst recht jetzt, wo es schon so spät geworden ist.
Nachdem uns die Mücken vom Strand verjagt haben, wo wir eigentlich vorhatten, die Nacht zu verbringen, beschlossen wir, alle gemeinsam nach Santanyí zu fahren, ein gemütliches Städtchen im Süden der Insel. Viel Leben schien da nicht mehr zu sein, als wir so gegen 10 Uhr abends ankamen. Geht man aber ein paar Schritte ins Innere der Stadt, hört man auf einmal Stimmen. Biegt man nun um die Ecke, so steht man auf einmal im Herzen der Stadt, dem Plaza, mit seinen ringsum gelegenen Cafés und Bars und der Kirche am anderen Ende. Was für eine Nacht. Es kommt mir so vor, als würde der Tag erst jetzt beginnen. Gleich werden wir uns in einem dieser Cafés niederlassen, Panboli mit leckerem Schinken und Käse genießen, dazu ein paar köstliche spanische Oliven und zum Nachtisch Crèpes mit feinster Schokolade (hin und wieder kann ich einfach nicht darauf verzichten). Schließlich würden wir der Musik folgen, uns in die Bar von nebenan setzen und gemeinsam auf diesen großartigen Abend anstoßen. Natürlich plaudern wir den ganzen Abend, über Musik, über Filme, über Identität, das Reisen und die vielen anderen schönen Dinge des Lebens. Was für eine Nacht!

Buenas Noches.

I am coming home

No, I am not coming home yet, but as there are so many people asking me: "So when do you come back home?", I might as well tell all of you so that there is no confusion :-) I will arrive in Berlin on the 18th June and I will probably go to Thüringen around the 21st. Until then I will have lots to do here as the final exams are coming up!
I hope you are all doing fine.

Besitos,
Conny

The latest news

Cap Blanc (Mallorca)

The beach of Estellencs (Mallorca)

On a boat in the Bay of Alcudia (Mallorca)

Honestly speaking, there really is not much news to talk about. I am still enjoying Mallorca, it's beautiful temperatures which as I've heard have reached Germany by now (Congrets!) and the company of my friends here in Palma. I will now let my photos "talk" which will hopefully answer everyones questions!
Besitos!

Food, siempre food y más!

Sliding down the dune and hiking up again,
exhausting!

Marvellous, isn´t it!?

I think the picture can speak for itself!

Oh no, it wasn´t just me who was hungry!
Have a look at the back,
German beer culture is everywhere.
I know, it´s impossible to resist.
Look what happened!

A house on the beach, a glas of Sangria, all that´s
missing now is food, but here it comes!

Doesn´t this look healthy, but I´m
afraid it´s not. Guess what, it´s Sangria
(a mix of lot´s of red wine, lemonade,
Fanta orange, apples and oranges)

"Vamos a Mallorca otra vez!"

Chicas in "Cala Pi", once again another beach

That´s personally my favourite, even reminds
me of Canada :-)

Just another pretty view on Alcudia Bay

The rocks of Cap Formentor
(on the eastern shore of Malloca)

La Droga "Felicidad"

No, don´t worry about me, I am not on drugs. I think the way I feel right now is even better than being on drugs (I guess, I have never tried it of course!!! By the way, I even gave up chocolate, at least for the moment). Seriously, my life here is fantastic and I couldn´t be happier. Everyday I am enjoying sunshine and I don´t think I could ever get sick of it. I go skating on the beach while watching the sunset and there is always a light breeze. What else, I also feel like I am more social than I have ever been in my entire life. There are always people around me and I really enjoy their company.
But maybe I should comment a little on my photos down there! First of all, those are just a few photos from my trip to Menorca, but I hope you will enjoy them. Anyway, it takes about 2 hours from Port de Alcudia (on the eastern shore of Mallorca) to Ciutadela (on the western shore of Menorca). When we arrived in Ciutadela there was this wonderful light due to the sunset (as you can see on the photo!). The first thing we did, we rented a motorcycle and then went straight into a Tapas Bar. Mmmmh, I love tapas: fried octopus, austers, fried potatoes and liver, majonaise with garlic, more types of sea food, baguette and along with that a nice Galician wine, what else could one wish for (see photo!). After that we headed off to our first "hotel". We always chose the hotels with "vista al mar" (ocean view), of course! Guess how much we paid, nothing. We all brought our sleepingbags along so that we could spend the nights on the beaches under skies full of stars. It seriously was just as beautiful as it sounds. We got to see quite a bit of Menorca. Those five days also felt like an intensive Spanish course. I spent all the time with Spanish people. I am now starting to adopt to their way of life, I am "afraid". I really try to enjoy the moment and I am being extremely spontaneous these days which might bother a few of my German friends, but I guess they have to get used to it ;-)
Of course, many more things have happened since then, but first let me post some more photos so that I can comment on them!

I hope everyone out there is doing great! Greetings to all of you from the wonderful island of Mallorca.

Besitos,
Conny
