USA - EU Jigsaw pieces - ©iStockphoto.com/PaltoI guess I don’t need to tell most of you that the internet is a global phenomenon.  Anyone who has used a web browser will more likely than not have visited a website that is hosted in a different country, possibly without even realising it.

TV Tipp: Löwenzahn auf Lanzarote

Am kommenden Sonntag wird ZDF eine “Classic” Folge von der Kinderserie Löwenzahn  mit Peter Lustig wiederholen.

In der Folge aus dem Jahr 1987, genannt “Peter tanzt auf dem Vulkan”, will Herrn Lustigs  Nachbar Herr Pauschulke, gespielt von Helmut Krauss, erklären dass es, auch wenn es direkt unter der Erde in der Regel kälter ist, ist es tiefer sehr viel heißer.

Um dies zu beweisen, fahren sie nach Lanzarote und besuchen dort den Nationalpark Timanfaya.

Die beiden reiten dort auf einem Kamel und Herr Lustig darf sogar selbst Wasser in eines der Löcher im Park hineinkippen, um Herrn Pauschulke zu zeigen wie es wieder nach oben  spritzt.

Etwas über die Hälfte der Sendung wurde auf Lanzarote gedreht.  Die Ausstrahlung erfolgt im ZDF am 27. Mai 2012 um 8.35Uhr.
