Last Sunday we decided to check out Möhnesee again. Previously I visited the Moehne Reservoir during Winter (January of 2017), but this time we drove to the middle part of the lake (Körbecke). The temperature was around +26 Celsius without a single cloud in the sky. 1. There’s a lot of green areas where you can sunbathe and relax. 2.… Continue reading "Warm Sunday at Möhnesee (Möhne Lake)"
A few days ago I was attending a first aid class (for my new driver’s license), when the teacher asked us to Google for common signs of a stroke and what to do when someone is having one. So I went on my phone and did a logical search for: what to do during a stroke. The very first result,… Continue reading "When Google Search Snippets go Terribly Wrong"

The Chapel of Our Lady of Vitaleta is a small sacred building is located on a hilltop in the village Vitaleta on the road that connects San Quirico d’Orcia to Pienza. It is one of the most iconic photo locations in Tuscany.
Montefollonico sits across the valley from another hilltop town: Montepulciano. It is relatively unchanged because it is off the tourist path and it still looks the way it did in the 13th century.
This year we tried to visit small Tuscan towns that we haven't been to before. So without much to do on 24th of December, the choice fell on San Quirico d'Orcia. It's the closest town to the famous Cappella di Vitaleta, one of the most photographed locations in Tuscany.
Last year at ProWein 2017 I was surprised to discover that there is a Lamborghini Winery, started by Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini himself. So when we arranged our trip to Tuscany at the end of 2017, we decided to visit this winery (the only one that we got to visit on this trip). The Lamborghini Estate (official website) lies between the… Continue reading "Lamborghini Winery, Umbria – Wine & Golf"
Lucignano is a very quaint and beautiful town completely surrounded by a wall. It doesn't take long to walk most of its streets, eat an ice-cream, etc.
