SPONSOR & PRESS INQUIRIES. Denglish (n): a hybrid language combining words from both German and English. IT HAPPENS TO EVERY EXPAT: LEAVING. I knew this time would come, and frankly, it was supposed to come two years ago when I finished my au pair year as it originally was planned. Nevertheless, (nearly) three years passed and here I still sit in my adopted home of Karlsruhe. What could possibly be pulling me away from this little German home and super special comfort zone I’ve found? I was no longer an ...

Lu-Gerda's Travels: The Queen Street Synagogue, Oudtshoorn
http://lugerda.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-queen-street-synagogue-oudtshoorn.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. The Queen Street Synagogue, Oudtshoorn. On our day trip to Oudshoorn we walk pass a beautiful stone building in Baron van Rheede Street. The gate was open and we decided to take a closer look. We walk around the building to the other side and found that this was a Synagogue. The first Hewbrew school in South Africa was established in Oudtshoorn in 1904. Part of the building complex includes the school building. The Queen Street Synagogue. Der Englishe Shul –. Is still in use today.

Travel Confessions - Treasure Tromp
http://www.treasuretromp.com/2014/01/travel-confessions
Travel Confessions - Treasure Tromp. Current travel confessions of an adventurer. This current trip to St. John has been incredible and beyond beautiful. But more than anything, I love spending time with Matt’s family, especially those who we don’t get to see often like his sister and nephews. I really want to go to the British Virgin Islands this week so that I can get a UK stamp in my passport. I think that I would like to travel around Latin and South America more. Better brush up on my Spanish. I was...

Lu-Gerda's Travels: Ostrich Feather Palaces
http://lugerda.blogspot.com/2015/07/ostrich-feather-palaces.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. Oudsthoorn became known world-wide due to the ostrich feather industry. From about 1860 it was high fashion for ladies to use ostrich feathers as decoration on their outfits. Between 1900 and 1914 the price was unbelievable high and the farmers and merchants in Oudtshoorn reaped the rewards. Here are a few of the ostrich palaces we found while walking in Oudtshoorn in Aug 2013:. Le Roux House ( 46 High Street). The house was built. For JHJ le Roux. It was designed by Char. Montague...

Lu-Gerda's Travels: PE : St Mary’s Cemetary
http://lugerda.blogspot.com/2012/07/pe-st-marys-cemetary.html
Sunday, July 29, 2012. PE : St Mary’s Cemetary. We spend the morning walking the Richmond Hill Trail in Port Elizabeth. We then returned to the guesthouse to relax for a while before going to the St Mary’s Cemetery. I learned about this old cemetery form the Port Elizabeth Daily Photo Blog. The cemetery was not in a very good condition when we visited. It was dirty with homeless people sleeping between the graves. We decided not to go in to deep. The old graves were neglected and vandalized. 8220;James C...

Lu-Gerda's Travels: Dutch Reformed Mother Church, Oudtshoorn
http://lugerda.blogspot.com/2015/05/dutch-reformed-mother-church-oudtshoorn.html
Monday, May 25, 2015. Dutch Reformed Mother Church, Oudtshoorn. One of our stops when we visited Oudtshoorn was the Dutch Reformed Mother Church on the corner of High Street and Church Street. Unfortunately the gates to the church grounds was locked and we could not take a closer look or visit the inside. The foundation stone was laid on 15 January 1861 but work was stopped in the 1860’s due to the lack of money and a problem due with the wall because the plans were read incorrectly. Two Feet, One World.

Lu-Gerda's Travels: Plettenberg Bay : Southern Cross Beach House
http://lugerda.blogspot.com/2012/06/plettenberg-bay-southern-cross-guest.html
Sunday, June 3, 2012. Plettenberg Bay : Southern Cross Beach House. We stayed at the Southern Cross Beach House. For the two nights when we visited Plettenberg Bay. The guesthouse is in a Victorian house next to the beach. The owners live on the top floor and the guest rooms are on the ground floor. I was a bit disappointed because the guest rooms do not have a view of the ocean. We booked the big room and it was lovely. We had a king size bed, sitting area with desk and a beautiful bathroom. Southern Cr...
