what a great day with Alejandra in palma

these two photos with the old windmill in the sunset
are not in palma, this is place close to peguera
on our way back home

and here are the next ones:
5 shots from valldemossa

and 6 shots form soller and port de soller,

that is the place with this famous old tram:

it looks like i'm driving the tram.
fake news!!!

and there will be more tomorrow from palma, the capital of mallorca...

mallorca

hi to all of you, 

very long time very no see,

but now i'm back on the road.

or better: on the island.

meeting my friend Alejandra

on the beautiful island of mallorca.

i never really wanted to go there,

- far too many germans ;-)

and you probably know, that i have german roots.

but everyone said that it is so beautiful.

and it is: see yourself...

 port des canonge

 cala figuera

sunset at platja es trenc

and here are the last photos of sri lanka:

stilt fisherman 

and a nice little boat trip to the mangroves

that's all for now. cu u next time...

the trip goes on: yala national park

you have to go very early to see the wildlife. yala is 

a very hot and a pretty dry place, so the animals hide

during the day. salina doesn't like to get up early,

so i went on my own

 face to face with an elephant

 water buffaloes


 when a water buffalo smells water, it simply can't resist

painted stork, ibis, silver heron and a lot of other birds...

ella and buduruvagala:

nine arches bridge 

 

little adam's peak

 

water fall close to ella

the buddhas of buduruvagala

train trip from nuwara elia to ella

 waiting for the train...

still waiting

here it comes

 

the strange thing is, that the people are standing at

the open doors to get the wind in the face...  

what a trip through the jungle

 

and two more of me at the door

luckily the train is pretty slow...

and the ones of nuwara eliya:

 turf
