Excursion of the Volleyball team men 3 toThüringen


Der diesjährige Ausflug der Volleyballmannschaft "Herren 3" führte uns an den Hohenwart-Stausee in Thüringen. Nach einem Frühstücksschnaps bei Thilo wurden unterwegs sowohl Thüringerwürste zum Grillen etc. als auch Getränke, hauptsäclich Bier, gekauft. Jetzt hiess es beim Aus- und Einsteigen über die Bierkisten zu klettern.

Wir besichtigten das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Hohenwarte II, Hans-Jürgen´s Onkel war ein hervorragender Reiseführer.

Nach der Ankuft im Gelände des Kanu-Sportvereins wurden erst einmal die Zelte aufgebaut bevor es dann auch gleich ans Grillen der Thüringer Würste ging.

Den Abend ließen wir dann am Lagerfeuer ausklingen, dabei wurden fast sämtlche Lieder gsungen die bei den vergangenen Geburtstagen der Mannschaftsmitglieder gesungen worden waren. Am nächstenMorgen war dann Kajakfahren angesagt, sowohl Einer- als auch Zweierkajaks. Diese wurden vom Kanusportverein gestellt.

Nach anfänglichen "Geradeausfahrproblemen" wurde es immer besser, doch dies hielt Thilo und Willi nicht davon ab mal reinzufallen.

Doch am Ende kamen alle wieder gesund zurück.

Nach einem Essen in einer kleinen Wirtschaft mit Rollbraten und Thüringer Klopsen beendeten wir den Abend gemütlich am Zeltplatz. Am nächsten Morgen machten wir eine kleine Sightseeing-Wanderung in Saalfeld.

Nach einem Frühstück in einem Cafe in Saalfeld fuhren wir wieder nach Hause, nicht ohne unterwegs die übrig gebliebenen Speisen zu vertilgen.

Winter holidays in Hurghada/Egypt

We selected the Hotel Continental, before it has been the "Intercontinental", in Hurghada for our holidays in the beginning of the new year. The Hotel lies directly at the red sea. The all inclusive offer was ok and the weather was with temperatures of 25-27° C during the day and  15° C in the evening/night super. And actually with no clouds at all.




Entrance and foyer of the hotel

View from our room

In the evenings we went for a last drink to the Bar. Marlene with "Staff" of the Bar

Evening view from our room and having breakfast next morning

Short hike aside our hotel and at the hotel owned beach. The water was with 18° C quiet cold but the pool had 25° C and we preferred to swim there

We booked a dessert trip and first had to protect against the sandy rides

We drove for approx. 45 minutes wit Buggies,

then for another half an hour with Quads. That was really fun ...

on the way with Jeeps to a beduin village, but also before during buggy and quad riding,  a movie was taken by a joining camera man. We bought the movie a day after our return. After we had reached the beduin village there was

camel riding on the program and thereafter a visit of the vilage with good informationen

On January  6th. there was an ortodox christmas celebration in the nearby Restaurant "Fish Market". We had now this winter two christmas celebrations, first at home and now here. Although there were many russians in the im Hotel there were not so many people, only 5 tables were occupied. The food was not in the All Inclusive Offer and had to be paid extra, maybe that might be the reason. Besides dancing music. mostly russian songs, there were two other presentations:

First a about 10 year old boy, who turned himself around for about 20 minutes and presented many figures and worked with many shirts. Really impressing. Thereafter belly dance came

and Marlene was asked to join as well. At the end bakshish was given...

From Hurghada harbour we took the "Red Sea Dolphin" for a trip to the coral reefs nearby. The catamaran has below sea level windows from where we could watch the corals and fishes

But the announced dolphins and big fishes were not visible.

After dinner in the Restaurant "Al Dente" we took another wine and beer at the bar.

Gerd, Ingrid, Marlene and Martin. There every evening different presentations took place. 
Before we leave: Marlene and Ingrid
