Welcome to Carla, Marta, Simona & Wil

Time for something different, 2.5 hours drive to the East the beautiful Sauerland beckons. Normally we go to this region for some skiing, but this time we decided to enjoy a discarded slate mine underwater. This mine holds many kilometers of corridors. But as we are no cave divers, we were only allowed in the access chamber.

We were just in time as the mine now is closed for visitors during winter. In the mine 150 different species of bats find their refuge.

We would like to thank Sebastian for his guidance. You can find more information on their website https://www.bergwerktauchen.de/.

A few weeks ago, we were cruising through the Eifel on our motorbikes. The Eifel is well known for its beautiful curvy roads and is abused by some bikers as race track. On one of these roads, we passed a warning sign: Könner meiden das Risiko. If you know your business, you do not need to show off, but you have fun (eg open the throttle) where and when it is safe to do so.
Interesting enough, in my other “dangerous” hobby, scuba diving, it is perfectly ok to turn away from a dive, when you do not feel up to it. You take a refresher course after a long non-diving period and train for each special situation, like night diving. Ever seen a biker taking a special course for night riding? Nope, we go full throttle the first minute winter is over.
Just do it where you can see what’s ahead, the road is clean and no crazy drivers are around:
Könner meiden das Risiko!

Welcome to our site. You were used to find a lot of pictures here of our girls, scuba diving and other information.

I am rebuilding the site on WordPress, so it will start to grow again!

If you would like to see specific content, let me know.
