Over the weekend, my husband and I decided to go camping. We were with some young groups and started to choose a camping ground to set up our tent. And these young people do not know how to choose a good one! Well, I’ll tell you some. From time to time, when you-go on vacation, …
Weekend Trip to Munich
In the 3rd week of April we went for a weekend trip to Munich to spend our first anniversary. The last time I was here it was to run a half marathon, but this trip was just for rest and relaxation. The weather was fine and remained perfect throughout the weekend, thankfully! We reached thee …
