Viktualienmarkt, München

Early morning, I am going for a walk on the Viktualienmarkt on my way to work. It's very cold but surprisingly no snow, which is exceptional this time of the year. The viktualienmarkt is a market place where they sell food products like: fruit, cheese, meat, fish, vegetables, wild products... The name Vitualien comes from "lebensmitteln" or food products. This is a very nice place to visit during spring and summer where you can enjoy a beer on a terrace or a freshly squeezed juice. In the background you see the church of the Holy Spirit (St. Peter). I can't wait to go there again to enjoy a beer in the summer.

In de vroege morgen op weg naar het werk, wandel ik op de Viktualienmarkt. Het is zeer koud en er ligt geen sneeuw wat uitzonderlijk is voor deze tijd van het jaar. De Viktualienmarkt is een markt waar voedingsmiddelen worden verkocht zoals: fruit, kaas, vlees, vis, groenten, wild... De naam Viktualien komt van "lebensmitteln" of voedingsmiddelen. Dit is een zeer mooie plaats om in de lente of de zomer te genieten van een biertje of een vers geperst fruitsapje. Op de achtergrond zie je de kerk van de Heilige Geest (St. Peter). Ik kan bijna niet wachten tot de zomer om hier terug een biertje te gaan drinken.

El Alcazar de Segovia

31/12/2009: El dia de fin de año, antes de ir a comer cochinillo nos fuimos a visitar el Alcázar. Esta fortificación es impresionante tanto por fuera como por dentro. Entramos al recinto por la puerta de la primera foto, encontramos unos jardines con un monumento en su interior y desde allí nos asomamos a ver las vistas:

Durante la Edad Media fue residencia de los reyes de Castilla.

Solamente es posible acceder a su interior pasando por su puente levadizo, en el que a ambos lados podemos ver un profundo foso.



Vista de la Torre de Juan II cruzando el puente levadizo:


En el interior del Alcázar encontramos numerosas salas, en algunas de ellas armaduras y lienzos de los reyes o batallas:


Esta es la Cámara Regia, el dormitorio real, esta compuesto por una cama gótica con madera de nogal y tejidos de oro en su parte superior:


Sala del Trono, reconstrucción del estrado que utilizaban los Reyes Católicos en sus audiencias. En la parte superior se lee la inscripción "Tanto Monta", en esta sala destaca también su cúpula:


La Sala de los Reyes, es la más amplia, en su parte superior, en las cuatro esquinas de la sala se encuentran las figuras de 52 reyes y reinas de Asturias y Castilla y León:


Desde uno de los ventanales del Alcázar pudimos ver estas vistas:


Vidrieras en el interior del Alcázar:

Vidrieras:
Vimos también la sala de armas que tiene una buena colección de armaduras (también para niños), espadas, ballestas, cañones, escudos, etc.
Desde el patio que veis bajo subimos los 152 peldaños de la Torre de Juan II:



Subiendo los peldaños de la estrecha escalera en espiral pasamos junto algunas puertas de acceso a las celdas que tenia la torre cuando fue utilizada como prisión.
Desde la Torre de Juan II:
La fortaleza tiene un diseño como el de los castillos que salen en las películas, desde allí hay muy buenas vistas hacia la catedral de Segovia y al otro lado hacia el valle y el rio.

Vale la pena bajar por la carretera hasta la la iglesia templaria de La Vera Cruz para ver el Alcázar de Segovia desde otras vistas:

Sendlinger Tor and Isartor, München (Munich)

It's always nice to go for a walk in Munich. Here in the early morning you see the medieval Gothic Gates (in German Tor) of the ancient city wall. There are still three gates in the city. Here you see the Sendlinger Tor and the Isartor. They were both build early 14th century. On the Isartor you find a fresco painting which displays the triumph of Ludwig from Bavaria after the victory against the Habsburgers in 1322.

Het is altijd leuk een wandeling te maken door München. Hieronder zie je de Sendlinger Tor en de Isartor in de vroege ochtend, twee van de drie nog bestaande gotische stadspoorten. Beide poorten werden gebouwd in het begin van de 14de eeuw. Op de Isartor vind je een fresco van de overwinning van Ludwig van Bayern tegen de Habsburgers in 1322.

Restaurant Van der Valk, Nootdorp

When driving around in The Netherlands and looking for something to eat, keep an eye on the Toucan. This bird is the symbol of the Hotel chain Van der Valk. Most of these hotels have a restaurant that serves good quality food at reasonable prices. All the hotels are located near highway exits. On Sunday we enjoyed the lunch in Nootdorp. We were surprised that the fried Tiger prawn starter in combination with a prawn Carpaccio was absolutely excellent. The beef Carpaccio was also very good. All restaurants have a high capacity. I can only recommend this chain when you travel around in The Netherlands. It will be very difficult to find something of the same quality for this price.

Als je rondreist in Nederland en je zoekt iets te eten, let dan op de Toekan. Deze vogel is het symbool van de hotelketen Van der Valk. De meeste van deze hotels hebben een restaurant dat goede kwaliteit serveert tegen redelijke prijzen. Alle hotels liggen dicht bij autosnelweguitritten. Vorige zondag genoten we van de lunch in de Van der Valk te Nootdorp. We waren echt onder de indruk van de gefrituurde Gamba combinatie met Gamba Carpaccio als voorgerecht. De rundscarpaccio was ook zeer goed. Ik kan deze restaurants zeker aanbevelen als je rondreist in Nederland. Het zal zeer moeilijk zijn iets beter te vinden aan deze prijzen.
