The Salt Lounge in Oberursel

Graham — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:13:56 +0000

This week the Monday Podcast visited the Salt Lounge in Oberursel. The salt lounge is a place that people can go to, in order to relax and enjoy the salt air. There is one grotto for families and other for business people.

We talked to the owner Sven Warth about how he came up with the idea, why people go there, and where all the salt comes from.

Winter in Germany

Graham — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:50:08 +0000

With Germany experiencing the coldest winter for 13 years we decided to change our plans for the weekend and took our sledge out instead.

This gave us not only a rare chance to go sledging on the hills of Camp King, but also to talk about some of the things that German residents – and possibly long-term visitors – need to know about: Winter tyres, snow-clearing duty and a lack of salt.

Andrea Hitchcock – Outdoor Lanzarote

Graham — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:00:24 +0000

In our last Monday Podcast from Lanzarote we talk to Andrea Hitchcock, a British ex-pat who has started a new blog specifically about outdoor activities on the island.

In her first posts she has been writing about walks and hikes that she has tried out and documented, and whilst not many tourists probably take hike boots with them on holiday at the moment, she is opening up a new side of Lanzarote that may well catch on with walkers in the future.

Graham — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:07:44 +0000

Many German tourists will have visited the island of Lanzarote this summer. During our own holiday we recorded a short series of podcasts with British ex-pats who live there.

We met up with Mike Cliffe-Jones, at the Puerto del Carmen offices of his company ¡Estupendo! We talked to him about his book „Living in Lanzarote“, about moving to the island and the services that his company offers. We also talked about his connections with Germany and touched on a few of his favourite things…
