Yesterday evening we had the chance to see Deep Purple live in concert at the Summer Nights Festival in Sigmaringen. What can we say – the band is still a real smash. The musicians by now quite in retirement age are up there on stage and go full blast as if they had never aged. The festival lasts for two days and Deep Purple played at the second day as the headliner. Before them Alan Parson’s played – sigh – like back then at record player times… With the opener „Highway Star“ the five gentlemen stated clearly that they are still too young for the scrap heap. We were amazed how energetic the boys performed their songs. The set was a good mixture of old and new songs from the album „Now What?!“ I had for the first time in my live a photopass and was allowed to get very near

After having looked over to France while admiring the georgeous sunset at the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse we finally managed to go there as well. From Freudenstadt it is just an one hour drive by car. You cross the river Rhine at Kehl and soon the whole picture changes: Different traffic signs and a different language. We drove a couple of minutes through a new building area but after that were already in the centre. To find a parking place was no problem at all. We found a place in the car park Austerlitz, which is well organized and even won a prize for that. Each parking deck is lit with a different colour. That is eye-catching and you can remember it easily. From the car park we had to go directly to a café. First of all a café au lait. You only get that in France. Unfortunately not in these nice

We have been to the Clock and Car Museum in Schramberg and have been completely faszinated by all those unusual, unique and creative vehicles. What clocks have to do with cars you will learn at the museum. Four full floors in an old industrial building show all about mobility in the time after world war 2. Whether bicycle, moped, motorbike or three- or four-wheeled vehicle; it seems there were no boundaries for ideas at this time. You will see amazing coulours and forms. But there is also a lot information about live after the war. Therefore the museum is not only interesting for car lovers. Many allday live scenes are exposed like a hairdresser, a shop or just a living room. Pro-Tipp:  Bring enough time! Only a couple of meters away is the Car Collection Steim located. It is not about the vehicles of the man in the street. Here you find

We enjoy hiking and took our hiking shoes with us on our waltzing tour. So we were really pleased to find ready made hiking tours through the black forest. But somehow the hiking tours and we do not really get together. On Facebook you would say: The Meurers are in a relationship with Hiking Tours but it is complicated. On our first hiking adventure we got completely lost und could luckily without a machete fight our way back to a hiking trail. But we admit we made some mistakes: We went without the hiking booklet We relied on the hiking signs We believed it would be a consistent system We walked against the hiking direction So! Our fault! But maybe we are spoiled by other countries where you have one number and you follow this number the whole day long. But we do not give up! Our next „hike“ took place
