Hamburg, Germany, is just a short distance trip from my home base Bremen. That’s perfect for a short escape, just to see something different. My latest trip to Hamburg was just for a relaxed afternoon. Come and join my InstaTrip:
New month, new topic! I know, I’m a little late for this month but I think this time the challenge is a little bit easier. In may, I’m looking for pictures of animals. Animals are always around us: in daily living, in the nature or on travels. It’s always interesting to spot wildlife in its natural surrounding – which is also better for them than living in the zoo.

Consider visiting in December or January if you fancy something special. The Amsterdam Light Festival illuminates the city in a beautiful and unique way. The Amsterdam Light Festival is a young festival. In winter 2013/14 it only had its second edition. But still then, more than half a million people came to watch the fantastic illuminations. One highlight is definitely the water color boat tour. In an one hour cruise you see 17 of the 32 installations. Of course, you can also watch the art works from bridges or streets along the canals but from the boat you have a better view and going around is much easier. But well, you might have to wait quite long to catch a boat. Boats are leaving every 30 minutes near the central station between 5pm and 11pm.
