Cobble stones in Rhodes

I wonder where the practice came from to lay out round but pointy stones for the roads. It does not allow you to walk barefeet but is extremely interesting and beautiful.

Rhodes archeological museum

Rhodes Old Town is a romantic and nicely preserved place to walk around (but be aware, dinner is an interestig experience with everyone trying to get you into their restaurants as nicely as possible). The archeological museum is one of the main feastures, and very impressive with everything from your school days textbook in front of you. But what I liked the most was the garden that is hidden past the museum cafe on the second floor, maybe because nobody was there, or maybe because every stone object lying around in the garden is actually "real" from 1500 to 2000 years ago.

Weekend visit to Mainz

 


Mainz is one of the cities that has a perfect size for visiting on a random Sunday. While the city itself is not Heidelberg (there are some unromantic stores and mediocre buildings amidst the old ones), Mainz has a really nice Gutenberg printing museum and a ginormous cathedral that had a beautiful court yard. Nice also that you can roam around and find fairy tale sounding street names.

The flowers and greens are so beautiful now. Awww, the start of European summer!

Good stuff of Germany

The sausages you buy and eat on the streets in Germany never betray you. Such a luxury!
