Wernigerode Castle I

Tower and main building.

January 3rd 2022
I am not too much into celebrating New Year’s Eve, and most of the time, I do not attend a party or event, often I do not even stay up until midnight. However, after a year of Covid lockdowns, little travelling and almost no celebrations, Christiane and I felt that we needed to do something special at the end of 2021. We booked an arrangement in a hotel in Ilsenburg, Harz. I had been in the regi ... read more

I started this blog in late 2007, before heading off to Australia for a hang gliding adventure. After my first solo flight in a hang glider all I wanted to do was fly as much as possible. I gave up my job as a human resources consultant and headed to Australia to live my dream of hang gliding. When I returned after four months, I wanted to build my life around the sport I loved so much, and I did. I was also determined to make it into the national hang gliding team and started flying competitions with only one year of flying experience. My dream was shattered in earl... full info

Wernigerode Castle
If ever I venture to Germany it will be to see the castles, among other delights our kids have experienced. I have posted yours on TB's "Palaces & Castles' thread in the Photography Forum. Check 'em out. You have an interesting life Katha, so even without dancing due to Covid and requiring a hot water bottle on New Years eve, I trust you had a great time!!! My New Years Eve was on a Queensland Beach (my sister's place) and the only down side was we had to wait for the hour delayed broadcast of the Sydney fireworks due to Queensland not being on Daylight Saving Time. Mustn't grumble. Every New Year is expectation of the Year ahead. May your 2023 be a good one!

Re: Wernigerode Castle
Thank you Dave for coming on the journey with me and for commenting! Also found the pics on the Photography Forum, together with so many excellent photos of great castles and palaces. We had a very good time in Ilsenburg, and the good thing about the early night on New Year's Eve was that we could enjoy New Year's Day because we were not hung over. Sounds like you had a very good New Year's Eve too. I can imagine there are worse places in the world than a beach in QLD ;-) All the very best for you in 2023, and I look forward to reading your stories from different places in the world!
