Island Walk on Kerrera
Oban is the “Gateway to the Isles”. While one usually thinks of the large islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides when saying that, there are also some smaller islands in the immediate vicinity to be discovered. One of these I explored today: Kerrera, an island around seven kilometers long and two kilometers wide, located directly opposite of Oban. Continue reading Island Walk on Kerrera

Driving through time and space
Today, I already had to say goodbye to the Isle of Arran. My destination today was Oban. However, to break up the driving, I have selected a few interesting stops in between. weitergefahren. Um die Fahrt aber interessanter zu gestalten, habe ich mir ein paar nette Zwischenstopps ausgesucht. Continue reading Driving through time and space

Short Workation in Lille
Only three working days after being at Devoxx UK (in London) last week, my vacation (in London) was scheduled to begin. Therefore, flying home was out of the question. Instead, I spent these three working days in Lille – because a cozy apartment in the city center there is cheaper than a small single room on the outskirts of zone 2 of the Tube in London (even when including the train journey from and to London).
