Last night we had 20-30cm of fresh snow fall – I even used the bus to get to my appointment this morning as the cars are snowed it on the car park!
Here are a couple of photos that I took whilst out in Oberursel:

Toy sellers at the harbour
January 27, 2010 By 1 Comment
Many countries are renowned for their street traders selling anything from watches to sun block along their beaches.
Puerto del Carmen has a different type of trader – the flashing toy merchants.
They prey on unsuspecting families around the harbour after dark, their wares flashing away in bright colours, in the hope that the small children will be so fascinated that their parents will be unwilling to say „no“ on holiday.
One of the tricks it to get a small child to actually take the toy, making it even harder for the parents to avoid having to pay for it.
A favourite spot seems to be the playground near to the boules. Here they do not like taking no for an answer – in any language!
The Salt Lounge in Oberursel
January 25, 2010 By 1 Comment
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.
