A visit to the Königsteiner Burg

May 5, 2008 By Leave a Comment

This week the Monday Podcast visited the castle ruins in Königstein.

The castle is located on a hill which is accessible by foot and well sign-posted from the town centre. It cost 2EUR for adults and 1EUR for children to enter and contained a maze of different levels, doors, steps and tunnels.

In the centre is the tower which was very windy, even inside. The wooden staircase is stable but small children should be taken by the hand and good footwear is advisable.

Lustige Übersetzungen: ein halb gebratenes Hähnchen

May 3, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Bei meinem Urlaub auf Lanzarote sind mir auf den Speisekarten bzw. Aushängekarten einige zum Teil sehr komische und zum Teil verwirrende Übersetzungsfehler aufgefallen.

So hieß es zum Beispiel: “ein halb gebraten Hahchen” was soviel wie “ein halbes gebratenes Hähnchen” heißen sollte. Man versteht dann darunter eher “ein halbes Hähnchen medium”!

Calle Lanzarote auf Deutsch

May 3, 2008 By Leave a Comment

The website Calle Lanzarote now has a sister site publishing in German: www.calle-lanzarote.de

On the German site, my wife Michaela will be writing about her first visit to the island last year and covering many of the topics that I have written about on this site such as I.G.I.C, pan y mantequilla, as well as restaurants and places that we visited.

She will not, however, be just translating articles from this site, but writing from her viewpoint and adding her own opinions.

If you can read German, please visit the site and read what she has to say.
