Mainau Island, Lake Constance

The island of Mainau is a place to visit at any time of the year. The unique location and the flower paradise enchants young and old. I go 3 times a year, in spring, summer and autumn. If I were you, I would leave early in the morning. If you are looking for a meaningful day trip, then Mainau Island is just the right place. You can also buy the tickets conveniently online, then you don’t have to queue so long at the ticket office. The island of Mainau is very easy to reach by car, whether you come from Switzerland, Germany or Austria. From Konstanz to Mainau Island it takes between 15 to 20 minutes.

Take an island tour, have a drink or lunch in one of the good restaurants.

Insel Mainau, Lake Constance

The flower island Mainau offers beauty all year round with 45 hectares of impressive gardens, restaurants and shopping facilities. It is home to the second largest butterfly house in Germany, which invites you into a tropical world with colourful butterflies and flowers. The Mainau’s theme gardens include a rhododendron slope, the Italian Rose Garden, the Dahlia Garden and the Hydrangea Trail, the Herb Garden.

The Mainau Society

The island of Mainau is operated by a limited liability company, Mainau GmbH. The island and all its possessions were incorporated into this company in 1974 by Count Lennart Bernadotte and his wife Countess Sonja Countess Bernadotte. Mainau GmbH has 150 employees all year round, and 300 employees during the flower season from March to October. Park and garden are open all year round. The departments of the GmbH are the profit centres “Park, Garden and Forest”, “Gastronomy” and “Souvenir” as well as the corresponding internal service providers. As a private company without public subsidies, Mainau GmbH (annual turnover approx. 27 million euros) operates according to market-oriented principles. The sole shareholder of Mainau GmbH is the Lennart-Bernadotte Foundation, a non-profit foundation under civil law with legal capacity.

John Hancock Tower, Boston

Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Alessandro Cipriano in Boston, With view of Charles River and John Hancock Tower

Old and new, you will find a harmonious combination here. On one side the venerable Beacon Hill, on the other side the trendy South End. Here modern skyscrapers, there historic row houses. Here the extensive green of the Boston Common, there the hustle and bustle of the modern harbour. Many corners remind of European cities, but Boston is also a typical American city.  It ranges from the Italian North End to Chinatown and the Irish Charlestown to the African-American Roxbury.

I love Boston

Boston is my favorite city in the United States. A few years ago I was lucky enough to live there for a long period of time. I lived very centrally, only a few minutes walk from the city center and Charles River. Marlborough Street, that’s where I lived.

You can’t get out of the rapture. When you walk down the back streets of Boston, you might think you were in England. Brick houses, about 67,000 electric streetlights and 2,800 gas lamps. Boston combines tradition and modernity and is the capital of Massachusetts. Its European flair enchants visitors with many tourist attractions. It is a city with a history. No other American city can look back on such a long tradition as Boston.

You have probably heard a lot about Harvard University in Cambridge or the renowned M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Both are easy to reach by subway, take the Red Line subway. If you like classical music, I recommend the world famous Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Boston Pops “.

John Hancock Tower, Boston

As a result of these flaws, the structure is being constantly monitored, inspected and repaired. In order to decrease the torsion caused by the twisting and bending, dampeners and steel braces weighing thousands of tons have been placed. The observation tower which was a tourist attraction has been closed after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Despite all its troubles, the tower still remains a captivating sight.

John Hancock Tower

John Hancock Tower is located at 200 Clarendon Street, previously John Hancock Tower and colloquially known as The Hancock, is a 62-story, 790-foot (240 m) skyscraper in Boston, Massachusetts.

The tower was designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners for John Hancock Insurance Company and completed in 1976. When it was designed, the structure defied conventional construction designs. The architects chose a minimalist exterior made entirely of glass. Though the building is iconic, it was known for its many engineering flaws. It reacts to gusty winds and starts swaying even though the 44-square feet long glass panes stay in place. The center portion of the building keeps twisting and bending. Nearly 65 of the 10,344 glass panes have come crashing down to the ground due to their separation from the lead solder.

The Hatch Shell Boston

 

The Boston Symphony Orchestra gave its inaugural concert on October 22, 1881, under Georg Henschel, who remained as conductor until 1884. For nearly twenty years, BSO concerts were held in the old Boston Music Hall; Symphony Hall, one of the world’s most revered concert halls, opened on October 15, 1900. Henschel was succeeded by the German-born and -trained conductors Wilhelm Gericke, Arthur Nikisch, Emil Paur, and Max Fiedler, culminating in the appointment of the legendary Karl Muck, who served two tenures, 1906-08 and 1912-18. In 1915 the orchestra made its first transcontinental trip, playing thirteen concerts at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Henri Rabaud, engaged as conductor in 1918, was succeeded a year later by Pierre Monteux. These appointments marked the beginning of a French tradition maintained, even during the Russian-born Serge Koussevitzky’s tenure (1924-49), with the employment of many French-trained musicians.

The Hatch Shell

From my flat to The Hatch Shell I had only 5 minutes to go. 

The ‘Hatch Shell’, as it has come to be known, is Boston’s epicenter for large outdoor performances and open-air events. Emblazoned in bronze lettering on the face of the steps are the names of some of the world’s greatest composers. Classical, local and international, Oldies, Blues, Jazz, and Rock and Roll performances are held from spring through fall amidst one of the most charming and historical cities of our nation. The most notable event happens every July 4th as Keith Lockhart conducts the Boston Pops during Boston’s Independence Day celebration on July 4th. A patriotic score, including Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, accompanies a grand finale display of blazing fireworks over the Charles River. For many visitors, a blanket, picnic cooler, and family members on the Hatch Shell lawn is the perfect way to spend a warm summer evening.

Charles River

In summer the area around the Charles River is very popular with the people. You can take a walk, have a picnic with friends. There are no limits set.

The Charles River flows 80 miles from Hopkinton, Mass. to Boston Harbor. The Charles River is the most prominent urban river in New England. It is a major source of recreation and a readily-available connection to the natural world for residents of the Boston metropolitan area. The entire Charles River drains rain and melted snow from a watershed area of 310 square miles. Two hundred and sixty-eight square miles of that watershed area drain over the Watertown Dam into the Lower Charles River. The remaining 42 square miles drain directly into the Lower Charles River.

The headwaters of the Charles River are in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. From there, the river flows through the municipalities of Milford, Bellingham, Franklin, Medway, Millis, Medfield, Sherborn, Dover, Natick, Wellesley, Needham, Dedham, Newton, Waltham, Watertown, Cambridge and Boston, MA and from there into Boston Harbor.

Marlborough Street

If you are traveling to Boston, you absolutely must explore the entire Back Bay area.

Starting from Newbury street, Beacon Street and of course Marlborough Street, the street where I lived. You will find brownstones houses, beautiful front gardens, gas lanterns and beautiful trees. Marlborough street runs parallel to Beacon Street, Comonwealth Avenue, Newbury Sreet, Boylston Street. You will find exclusive apartments and boutiques on every street. On the west side is Mass Ave and on the east side you will get to the public garden and Beacon Hill. All worth seeing tourist attractions are easily reach by foot.

Boston’s Back Bay Area: The unique mix of affluent residential streets and commercial attractions undoubtedly makes Back Bay one of the most visitor-friendly neighborhoods in Boston. This centrally located neighborhood is not only home to some of the city’s most important architectural landmarks, but is also the hub’s main shopping destination; you’ll find everything from global mega-chains to small indie shops and state-of-the-art designer boutiques. But it hasn’t always been like this – less than 200 years ago, when the entire area, from public gardens to swamps, was submerged in marshland; a massive landfill project to meet the needs of a growing population made the area what it is today. If you’re tired of Back Bay, you can do even more by checking out our guides to the best restaurants in Boston, the best live music in Boston, and the best museums in Boston.

Le Paradis du Safran, Maroc

Le Paradis du Safran, Ourika, Maroc

Morocco really is one of my favourite places in the world. I aim to holiday there once a year or I combine work and pleasure. This country has so much to offer, whether it is the Atlas Mountains or the sea, the sights or, of course, Marrakech, with its shops in the souks, the spices, the food, and the friendly people you meet there every day.

Like every year, I stay with my friends at the Riad Enija, in Marrakech. You can read this post here. I would like to recommend one thing to you.

In 2017 we were pointed in the direction of Christine Ferrari, a Swiss woman who fulfilled a dream in Morocco. In her late forties, Ms Ferrari took a courageous step, by renouncing prosperity and escaping the hectic pace of everyday life to find her happiness in Morocco. At the time, however, she did not know what a rocky path she had embarked upon. She founded her own little saffron farm.

Le Paradis du Safran, Maroc, Christine Ferrari

Paradis du Safran lies about 50 minutes by car outside of Marrakech. If you are staying in a hotel, you can ask them to recommend a good driver who will take you there and drive you back. You will be inspired, what Ms Ferrari has created is a paradise on earth. Life was not made easy for her at first, a western woman who came to north Africa with a plan, wanting to assert herself there.

Today she lives and works here. She started a whole new life here. She left her old life in Basel (Switzerland) far behind. Saffron is her passion and now her life. She has struggled hard for it.

For harvest season, she employs over 50 Berbers, and the quality of her red saffron is internationally recognised and acclaimed.

In her paradise, she plants saffron across 20,000 m2, takes tourists on guided tours through her property, holds saffron seminars and has a beautiful 5,000 m2 garden. The saffron cultivation is just one part of the beautiful garden that also has countless plants, herbs and flowers, and olive trees as far as the eye can see.

Le Paradis du Safran, Maroc, Christine Ferrari

Christina Ferrari, an incredibly nice personality who worked hard for her dream. Today, after more than 10 years, she looks back on an intense time and can fully concentrate on her visitors, enchant and inspire them.

I really enjoyed making a tour across her paradise, followed by a traditional lunch, of course with saffron. A classic tajine, a fine soup and of course her own tea from the garden including saffron.

A traditional tajine, a fine soup and, of course, her own tea from the garden, including saffron. It does take some time: with the trip, the tour, the seminar and the meal, it takes a few hours, before the trip back, but it is worth it and you won’t regret it.

Her life was published in a book:
Chrstine Ferrari
The Saffron Woman
Knaur publishing house

Do not forget to buy saffron or various tea blends on your departure. There is also an online shop (check it out on the right) where you can buy the red gold. I can only wish you a lot of fun, enjoy your time and be enchanted.

Riad Enija, Marrakech

The Riad Enija is a wonderfully eccentric designer hotel in Marrakech, Riad Enija was created by Swedish architect Bjorn Conerdings and Swiss designer Ursula Haldimann. They have transformed this 200-year-old silk-trader’s townhouse, or rather four connected spaces (around three-quarters of it is still intact) into a living, breathing work of art. 

One of my best friends is also a co-owner. I’ve been there so many times, it’s just so beautiful. It is in the middle of the Medina, you can easily reach everything on foot. For my latest single “Im Zauber der Nacht” I decided to make the photo shooting at the Riad, I had a local Photographer.

Riad Enija offers a luxury accommodation in Marrakesh near Cafe de France. The venue comprises 15 rooms. It also provides 24-hour reception, a laundry room and dry cleaning.

Tomb of Sidi Bel Abbas is 1.2 km away. It takes 15 minutes to walk to Cyber Park Moulay Abdessalam.In the vicinity of the hotel there is Lazama Synagogue.

The rooms feature free wireless internet access, an adjoining terrace and a kitchen area for guests’ comfort. Each room at the property features beds with a down comforter and premium bedding.

A breakfast is served in the restaurant, or outside in the romantic patio (Garden) . Local meals are supplied at the gastronomic restaurant. A number of restaurants, including Riad Dar Tim Tam, Cafe Des Epices and Chez Abdou, are located in the surrounding area, 50 metres away.  Please ask the staff, they can help you finding the perfect restaurant for you, and they can make the reservations also. Marrakesh train station is nearby. This venue features an indoor swimming pool for guests’ relaxation.
