A few moons back I was traveling USA in an old ’65 Mustang GT and stayed at Amangiri, one of three Aman hotels I’ve stayed in this year (Aman Tokyo and Aman Venice were the others) and this one is in the middle of Utah’s beautiful desert near the Grand Canyon.
Day trips to landmarks like Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon or Monument Valley are a must as well as the delicious food at the hotel. Not to mention the hotel concept is the perfect merging of land, nature, culture and architecture. Will come back for sure!
More of the whole road trip soon here…

“Make memories” – that’s what they say. And oh boy we did.
But let’s start from the beginning….
1 super sports car aka the Porsche 911 GT3RS, 4 bags and 1 straw hat as big as an umbrella (and several other hats but let’s talk about something else).
 _____  
Stage 1
Berlin Germany to Montreux Switzerland with a short stop in my hometown in Bavaria. 1151km. That’s manageable in two days and driving out the car on the German Autobahn was probably the most fun (check my IG stories)  
 _____  
 _____  

Stage 2 

Montreux Switzerland to Nice in France. Aka the Route des Grandes Alpes. And it really was grandes. Over 14 alpine passes and one of the most beautiful routes in the world. We planned in 3 days for the crossing of the alps and those 3 days were pure magic. The high alps scenery, changing autumn colours, the car itself and how it performs in such circumstances and all the other likeminded car enthusiasts we met on our way down to the South of France… 
 _____  
 _____  

Stage 3 

Relaxing time at the Cote d’Azur. First days we stayed at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Rock where once Marlene Dietrich and Romy Schneider sipped cocktails at the famous pool by the see. Book a table in the near the sea in the hotel restaurant when the sun goes down (and try the beetroot cooked in rye bread with thyme crust). The other days we spent at the super hyped Les Roches Rouges Hotel and it really is one of a kind. Nestled in one of the coves near Saint Tropez this hotel has everything the modern travel hipster needs. Vintage De Sede sofa, light and breezy interior, friendly staff and live music in the evening (but the good kind).
PS book early as the hotel rooms sell out as fast as buttery croissants right after fashion week in Paris.
 _____  
 _____  
Stage 4 
South of France to Venice in Italy. The route itself is quite boring (speed limits in whole Italy and no curvy alpine streets) but when we arrived in Venice, parked our baby and the friendly staff of the Aman hotel picked us up in a 30 year old vintage boat I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.
Venice is like out of a movie. The colours, the architecture and of course the food. The Aman hotel itself (George Clooney married his Amal here and now I know why) is one of a kind. Built 1560 and restored a few years ago they tried to keep everything original (hello frescoes, Murano chandeliers and hundreds of years old wooden floors) and added some modern interior. The view over the Canale Grande is priceless itself.
The next days were all about pizza, pasta, vino rosso and the typical must sees in Venice and we also took a boat tour to Burano to see how they make the world famous glass sculptures.
PS try the honey melon salad in the Aman garden restaurant just next to the Canale Grande and listen to the gondoliers sing ‘O sole mio’ while sipping a glass of red. 
 _____  
 _____  
Stage 5 
Venice Italy to Munich and back to Berlin. Well this was nervwrecking. I’m from Munich so I know the legendary route from Laggo di Garda to Munich very well and it was no fun kiddos. Speed limits and traffic that had almost LA rush hour quality.
But well, we turned up the music and arrived in my old hometown just in time for dinner (best burger ww I swear). After a good night sleep we got up early to drive the last stage back to Berlin. Did you know the GT3RS is originally made to go on the race track? Now I know why. 319km/m somewhere near Munich.
Just a little bit slower than Sebastian Vettel on a good day trying to beat Lewis Hamilton.
Back in Germanys capital city the baby is safely parked in our garage and ready for the next trip coming year. Skandinavia? Toscana?
Let’s see…

THE RAREST EYE COLOR

August 23, 2018

 _____ 
Green-blue eye color is the rarest color found around the world, and it is estimated that only around 3% of the world’s population has green-blue coloured eyes. 
  It sounds odd but green blue eye color can change depending on mood, medical reasons, emotional stress.
Eye color is almost always experienced through the presence of light and the intensity of that color also depends on chemical reactions happening inside the body.
