Together with my dad, I spent the day exploring some places in Schleswig-Holstein, which we never visited before even though we live nearby. We started our day in Plön in order to see where my cousin is going for training whilst working for Fielmann.

As my father had something to do in Torrevieja, we went on a small road trip to the nearby city of Cartagena, where we had a look onto the old Roman remiscents of the cities past. All in all, the Teatro Romano is an awesome sight and should be seen my anyone nearby. Unfortunately, the Anfiteatro de Cartagena was blocked off for renovations. Instead we had a view into the Civil War Museum next door.
As Cartagena is an important harbour for the Spanish Navy, we also did a small harbour boat trip, where we had a great view onto the harbour and the Bahia de Cartagena.
As it was the case with Madrid a few days before, the city was more or less deserted. All tourist stayed at home and even the Spanish did not spend their time in the city centre. I’m not sure if Spain will ever recover from this, but I hope that it does and that the tourist come back sooner than later.

Since the Covid-19 virus broke lose, I worked and never stoped. Besides my job, I also did a lot of stuff for this website. On one hand I was happy to do that, but on the other one I got more and more tired of doing so. I needed a break. Shortly before the summer vacations in Europe would have started, most of the travel restrictions were lifted and we could finally travel once again. Instead of going onto a large roller coaster travel this year I decided to join my father, who has a house nearby Dénia in Alicante. As direct flights were far too expensive, I decided to give Madrid a visit and take the train to Gandia afterwards.
As always, I drove to Madrid mainly for the theme parks, but after a very crowded Parque Warner on Saturday, I’ve decided to have a very long walk through the city instead. It was a very interesting experience, as the city was for the most part deserted. Places with normally a lot of tourists were empty. Even the pubs during the late evenings were empty.
It is very hard to believe that it was once again a Covid-19 hot spot a month later, as everyone wore a mask basically everywhere and even the social distance was kept in all occasions. Here in Germany, I’m surprised that we never experienced such throwbacks, as we were never as strict as the Spanish.
