Spandauer Zitadelle

It's about time we hit the city again. With summer coming to an end, there is only that much time left to explore Berlin and discover a couple of treasures with the sun shining down on us. So today we checked out the Zitadelle in the district of Spandau in Berlin as well as taking a stroll around the old part of the town and its marketplace. 

I guess, we will do more often take a little weekend adventure in the coming weeks and months as we have finished our major projects for this year. This means, more time living less time working and who doesn't love that?

Grünheide - Tesla Gigafactory

By the way, Grünheide is not a place known to lots of people until Elon Musk decided to put his Tesla Gigafactory there. Grünheide is in the state of Brandenburg, I also live in that state and so we had to take a trip town there to check on the progress. 

It was a huge announcement when it was decided that the Tesla Gigafactory will be built in Grünheide and of course there are many people who were as excited as I was, and you have those who oppose the idea of such a gigantic project for whatever reasons.

On a regular basis the progress, issues, hold ups as well Elon Musk visiting the construction side where on the news but going there and seeing it for ourselves was different and exciting. Even if we couldn't see much, we saw it all. 

After that, we just drove to the next village an went for a walk. I mean, there is nothing else down there and of course it's still Corona and lock downs. So, what else but strolling was there for us to do.
