Market and Alster Pedal Boat

Ji enjoys the weekly market down the street. So we always try to go and Mia already went there on her first trip to Hamburg 11 years ago when she was only eight months old. This time we had to wear a mask due to the current situation

 

 

Mia enjoyed her curry wurst:

From the market its only a short walk to the outer Alster. We passed though a very fancy neighborhood with very fancy houses like the mansion Jil Sander

On the Alster we rented a pedal boat and went all the way to the inner Alster in the city center to see the water jet day.

We went in a circle around the water jet to catch some of the spray and cool off on a hot summer day

On the way back we noticed the American consulate

 Mia took over the steering wheel and left the pedaling to her father

Planten un Blomen

Not too far from where we stayed is the Planten un Blomen park. We went there on the first visit in Hamburg with Mia 11 years ago and also on another visit with her. So this time we walked there for another visist and to check out the playground we remembered from the last visit

Visit in Hamburg

On the way home back we stopped for a few days in Hamburg to visit old friends of Ji. On the drive there we took a short break in the small town of Bartgeheide where Ji had lived as an Au Pair more than 30 years ago. We saw the house she lived in and got some ice cream and some fresh eggs for Ji's friends

It is always special to stay at their grand old place in a great neighborhood

The weather continued to be nice and the next day we walked to a park at he outer Outer Alster lake- Mia preferred to use her scooter instead of walking

Luckily there was also an ice cream stand and a nice scenery

Swimming trip to Nyord

On our last full day on Møn it was quite hot and we checked out swimming spot on the small island of Nyord which was only a 10 minute drive away. There was no wind and the water was quite shallow so it felt a bit like at a big lake.

A peaceful place to spent a lazy afternoon

Yoga by the Cliffs of Møn

 Beth invited Ji to join her for some yoga next to the white chalk cliffs of Møn. To get there they had to drive across the island to the eastern side

In the evening Beth joined us for another trip to the beach, She knew a spot that was a bit more remote and walked us there through the woods. Unfortunately the forrest was full of mosquitoes

The warwe was a bit warmer than the day before and we went for a little swim in the Baltic Sea

 

 

 

 

Nyord and Ulvshale Beach

In the morning we made a walk from the summer house to the small island of Nyord which is a protected area for birds.

To get to the island we had to cross a small bridge. We had brought some binoculars to look for birds

Mia had brought her new scooter to avoid all the exhausting walking

After the walk we headed to Ulvshale beach only 2 km away , It is a beautiful beach with white sand and not too many peole
