The second day of our ‘Sherlocked’ Convention begins with a photoshoot with Sue Vertue and Steven Moffat, the series’ producers. Then, we listen to a talk with the composers of the music of Sherlock. They made great impression yesterday and also today, they are funny and very charismatic. They love each time they hear their music, especially if they don’t expect it, like from an [Weiterlesen]

We spend all of today at the ‘Sherlocked’ Convention, after the BBC TV series ‘Sherl0ck’ with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. We meet again lots of good friends, make new ones, listen to talks between a host and actors of the show, get autographs and have photoshoots with people who contributed to the series. The two componists are especially friendly! They shake hands, introduce themselves [Weiterlesen]

We slept very well and have recovered from the long drive. We meet Clare, Linda, Sheridan with husband and baby and Amy for breakfast at Giraffe at Westfield Stratford City Shopping Centre where our hotel is situated. And I like my breakfast quite a lot: the fried eggs, the bacon… somehow everything tastes better than at home. After breakfast, we stroll through the shops for [Weiterlesen]

We leave at 10 in the morning and make good progress. The weather is ideal for driving: cloudy with some sunny patches. We make several stops on our way through France to stretch the legs and buy French crisps and ice cream. The little plastic box beside our rear view mirror is doing a great job. We’ve got it last year. With its help, we [Weiterlesen]

After our trip to the United States, we’ll be on holiday to the UK again. Just one thing that needs to be finished before. More information about that in two weeks. I can reveal at least this: I finished just in time.

(Gabi) About 90 minutes before landing the cabin crew switched on the lights und woke us up with a nice hot towel. Then they gave everyone a breakfast box. The croissant and the bread roll were pretty decent, as was the curious little cup of orange juice. That’s all I ate because my stomach was still a bit nervous. First glimpse of Switzerland. Smooth if [Weiterlesen]

(Gabi) Travel day! Ugh, never my favorite because I hate airports and am a nervous flyer. But we found a way to distract me by going into town one last time. Because Apple had just opened an amazing new flagship store and you know that Apple kind of makes us happy. The store was as glorious as anticipated and I loved every bit of the [Weiterlesen]

(Gabi) Our trip was slowly coming to an end (those 3 weeks had flown by) and so it was time to drive back up to San Francisco again. It takes a few hours to get to the big freeways from the national park entrance and so we were treated to yet another scenic drive. I particularly enjoyed the yellow prairie stretching out under the bright [Weiterlesen]

(Gabi) Today was Yosemite national park day and the amount of stunning views was almost overwhelming! The first thing you see when entering Yosemite Valley is this. Just WOW! The valley just goes on and on and the giant waterfall on the right makes the whole landscape look surreal. I was truly speechless and we come from a fairly picturesque country. Breathtakingly beautiful. We went [Weiterlesen]
