Markets in Zambia seem to hold miracles. Sometimes I saw tables full of stuff and didn’t understand anything of what I saw.
We had one of those adventures which are quite good for the memoirs, but less cool while you’re in it.
On our second day in Livingstone we visited the great falls. It is the largest waterfall in the world (not the highest). “Mosi-oa-Tunya” means “the smoke that thunders”. On good days 500 Mio liters of Zambesi water fall down 110 meters per minute.
Consider to walk down to the bottom of the river, which is a very fine jungle walk with great vegetation but unfortunately sometimes not very peaceful baboons. Don’t ever take out something to eat out of your backpack on your way down :-).
We do this since some years now and it became a nice tradition to meet for a weekend in our house on the countryside, pick mushrooms in the forest, have some really good meals and see our best friends who live far away in other cities. Next year for the first time, we will meet in Southern Germany.
I recently wrote a book about facilitation and workshops which was published in September 2023 and I did some shots to promote it. It’s called “Workshops machen – für inspirierte Teams, mehr Kreativität und weniger Blabla” (Sorry, German only for now)

Wow! This is crazy. This hotel in a tiny village in southern Germany opened in the 70s and was already an eclectic design gem at the time. The owners kept and cared for the original interior for a long time. even when it was then closed for more than 20 years. The granddaughter of the owners then saw the potential in it and reopened in 2010 with the original design. Even the vinyl disc on the record player was one of James Last, a very well known entertainer with a Big Band in Germany in the 70s.
Above all when a design was very striking at its time, there is always a phase when it becomes completely obsolete and people identify it with the past. Just think of fashion.
But sometimes there are people who see something in it and conserve it over this phase of obsoleteness until it becomes attractive again.
We had the incredible luck to be able to enter that day and take some pictures of this time machine and we felt like being in a movie.
