Breakfast in Hamburg; Mikkels

While in Hamburg on a rainy Sunday morning, Roald and Eva took StringGirl and Amber to the quiet little cafe Mikkels. Appointed like a cozy breakfast nook in your own appartment or house this comfy little shop features delightful fresh baked breads and pastries.
We chose to share the savory and sweet breakfast combination for three people. Fresh baked savory scones, Broten, and dark wheat rolls came in a basket along side various jams, jellies, preserves, and chutneys assorted semi-soft and soft cheeses, and some deli meats.
Marscapone, chocolate cream, fig butter, and onion jelly take you a little off the beaten path at this tea house. Proving that a simple breakfast can be elegant and delightful. We were lucky to arrive just before the tiny shop filled to capacity. With room for at most 16 diners you do have to flexible in your seating expectations (one couple can sit in repurposed school chairs using the window sill as their table. Other dinners squeeze around Lilliputian end tables, shelves and a fortunate group of upto 8 share what little space their is in this cozy shop. The counter is crammed with pastries, breads, and other baked goods; only a smattering of which could we fit along side the generous triple decker platter of breakfast goods.
StringGirl and Amber left fully enchanted and sated (both their appetites and imaginations). So if you get a chance in Hamburg give it a go.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February. Done, gone home, Scroll to see more ) Here's the lowdown since curiosity abounds: 1) NO, I didn't have a skiing accident. I resent the implication. I owned that fucking Hill . (Family Friendly video) 2) It was a sled 🛷 . It's not an extreme sport. It's called a Rodelbahn (toboggan road) and is considered fun for the whole family. Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
