Blackwood Forest and Bodensee

by 8.9.12

Hi Sweets,

Here are some pictures of my three day holiday at the Bodensee and the Blackwood Forest, as promised. It was a short holiday but long enough to gain new wonderful memories.

I love to go on a holiday within Germany. The Bodensee is my favorite place to be until now. We live quite close and can decide spontaneously if we want to go. I like the combination of a little bit of laziness combined with action. I am not the person to lie at the beach 2 weeks straight. Because both of us already travel so much we like to take mini holidays close to home.

We rented bikes and drove around the Bodensee for 4 hours and ate Kätzle (my favorite Schwäbisch Food).

When we were at the Blackwood Forest, we were taking several walks through the mountains and had a great food at the restaurant.

As you can see all I need is fresh air, the forest and the lake, some action and good food.

Enjoy the photos!
Well, hello there Bodensee Duckies!

Aren't we all big children with more responsibilities?
Follow me.
Can you see Sammie?
My precious...
Sammie is a vegetarian, although he did try to eat me and Oliver with his little teeth.

A whole lot of trees.

Where did I leave my mushroom? Anyone?

  17. Your blog is full of reality. It's life! Your life! One thing that I realized (me and maybe everyone!) is that you is very poetic . The kind of texts you do when put the pic shows that your life is pure poetry! The way you see the places, the colors, the nature...All this is very nice!

    Hoi Simone,

    Complimenten voor je blog! Het is leuk om te lezen en te zien wat je nog meer doet naast Epica. Ik zie dat je foto's steeds beter worden! Vooral de foto's genomen in het bos hebben iets magisch.

    Ik heb jullie nu twee keer live gezien, in mei in Den Haag en op Summer Breeze. Ik haal zoveel energie en kracht uit jullie muziek, ik kan niet wachten op een volgend album!

    Veel succes met jullie tour en met bloggen :)!

    Groetjes,
    Baudien

  29. Hi Simone,
    I'm from Brazil but I lived one year in Germany, in Tübingen, and the Bodensee is also my favorite place to stay. I always go there when I'm in Germany. Do you know Friedrichshafen? There you can enjoy that beeeautiful view of the Alpes and also you can see a zeppelin flying in the sky.
    So, you are coming to Porto Alegre this month (where I live), I hope you enjoy!

  32. Hoi Simone,

    Bij deze wil ik even laten weten dat ik het supertof vind dat je je fans door middel van je blog een kijkje geeft in je leven. Ik lees en kijk altijd met veel plezier :) Vind het ook erg leuk om te lezen dat we erg op elkaar lijken (ik ben bijvoorbeeld ook een enorme snoepkont).
    Ook wil ik nog even zeggen dat ik jou en je stem enorm bewonder. Ik kan wel uren doorgaan over hoe prachtig je kan zingen. Ik ben al jaren een groot fan van Epica :)


    In elk geval bedankt en ga zo door :)

    Liefs, Renske
