December 21, 2024,🚵‍♂️ Kurze, frische 🥶 Alb & Schlossrunde🏰

We decided to bring forward our annual, traditional Christmas visit to Lichtenstein Castle because the weather forecast doesn't look good for the next few days 🌧️🌨️❄️.
Nothing spectacular but we did a few Hm and stayed outside 😜
All that was missing was a mulled wine 🤣

September 6, 2023,J. M. Radelt 20/23: Pizza Tour ins Paradiso zu Toni Engstingen

Maybe used one of the last summer evenings of 2023 and radically shortened our Wednesday round at short notice to stop at Toni 🍺🍕 on the terrace.
It was a good decision 👍
Driving home in the dark on the old railway line was something new 🙄
