Remscheid, at home, Germany - 25th October 2011
By: olgamaus
Hi there,
in the meantime we found out what happened. Just a few minutes ago the online-version o the local newspaper RGA uploaded information and photos.
A large store for floor coverings like wall-to-wall carpets, laminate and parquet floors, paint and wallpapers is burning.
The store is situated directly at the railway track and the central station, also to one of the most busy streets. The people living in the vicinity of the fire were evacuated. This will mean traffic chaos until late evening.
Bye

Hi,
today it was my first complete day on Heligoland. Here you can see me sitting in our apartment.
This is one of the really few "usual" trucks. Most vehicles are electric vehicles.
Bye for now

Heligoland, Germany - 31st October 2011
By: olgamaus
Hi,
today I experienced interesting things. But first let me tell you some facts about Heligoland.
Heligoland is is a small German island group in the North Sea, about 46 km apart from the mainland. It is the only offshore-island. There are two islands: The main island and the Dune, a small island, surrounded by sand beaches and not permanently inhabited. The islands were connected until 1720, until the natural connection was destroyed by a storm flood.
The main island is commonly divided into the Unterland (Lower Land) at sea level where the harbour is located, the Oberland (Upper Land) consisting of the plateau and the Mittelland (Middle Land) between them on one side of the island. The whole area is about 1,7 km² large.
Heligoland is a holiday resort nowadays and enjoys a tax-exempt status, as it is part of the EU but excluded from the EU VAT area and customs union. Consequently, much of the economy is founded on sales of cigarettes, alcoholic beverages and perfumes to tourists who visit the islands.
There is also a search and rescue (SAR) base of the DGzRS, the Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger ("German Maritime Search and Rescue Service") on Heligoland.
We started today's trip with in the shopping street.
Of course I was really interested in native inhabitants of Heligoland. Here is the first one that I met.
Lawnmowers !
They were coming closer ...
Not that close, please!
Let's enjoy the landscape. Here you can see the lighthouse. It was built in World War II as an anti-aircraft warfare and was turned into a lighthouse in 1952.
On the next photo you can see the lighthouse and the Heligoland radio tower.
I had to be careful at the cliff line.
Here you can see one of Heligoland's landmarks: The Lange Anna (Tall Anna) which is is a 47 metres (154 ft) high sea stack of Buntsandstein. A wall was built around it to protect it from the breakers and marine erosion.
They are even having a green monster here
We also had a look at the harbour.
I was so tired than that I went into bed immediately.
Bye
raaawww
