back home

After two weeks in South Africa with Scuba Diving and Game Driving we’re back home. Currently we’re trying to acclimatize: from 38°C in Kwa-Zulu Natal to -5°C in Bremen. Here is what our garden looked like when we arrived.

There are many warm thought and impressions from the past two weeks. I did two galleries from our Game Viewing:

I still have a lot of Gopro stuff to review from our scuba diving, coming soon….

Bumblebees in our garden

At this time of the years, the bumblebees are busy collecting pollen from our common hollyhock. They will come back frequently to the same flowers so I managed to get some shots with my camera.
