Freudenberg: The cutest half timbered houses town in Germany

Tweet

I'm a fan of fachwerkhaus aka timber framing houses!

They have a certain charm about them and via my Destination Challenges in NRW I discovered a whole bunch of them on a cute little hill in Freudenberg, Germany. Really the perfect spot for a romantic stroll through its narrow streets.

Let me show you how it looks. I took some photos ;-)

The hunt for a black cat, a dragon and a peacock in Riga

Tweet

I absolutely love the kind of missions where I have to find things hidden in plain sight. For my second mission in Riga I had to find a cat, a dragon and a peacock...

As usual I reached out to the community and in no time I got 3 locations. The hunt could begin...

Playing 'Les Tournaisiens sont la' on the Carillon of the Belfry of Tournai, Belgium

Tweet

Never in my life did I play piano let alone the carillon, the piano-like instrument that is used to play the bells in Belfries around the world.

My 3rd challenge in Tournai was to play 'Les Tournaisiens sont la' live in the middle of the day for the entire city.

WHAAAAAAA...

Luckily I could count on the help of professional carillon player Francois whom teached me the basics in no time. Such a rush though making these massive bells ring for an entire city.

While I was up there I also took a step outside to enjoy the epic view over the city...
