Oberstdorf: A short trip to the Alps
Our room has a beautiful view of the mountains, so that we didn't close the shades at night to be woken up by the first sunrays and the bells of the brown cows.
The cows are lovely and quite an experience for our urban kids and also mom :-)
We usually end the day in the 30 degrees outside pool, with the occasional sauna thrown in, and getting inspired by the tall giants of the Alps.

Today's jewels
Taste was incredible, but I carefully avoided to ask about the price.
Only in Japan...

Flens aka Flensburger Pils
After all the happenings in the last few days the plain sight of one of my absolute favorite German beers provided a very warm happiness.
So, what's so special about it:
1. The cap, which is held in place by a metal ring and makes a very unique sound when being opened.
2. The taste, which is quite bitter and very typical of Pils beer from Northern Germany.
3. The fame, which derives from being the featured beer of German manga "Werner".
4. The memories, which go back to my older teenage phase and then again to my first real job, working summertime on a German island called Sylt.
Give it a shot when you find it!

Broken finger surgery, follow up
Ironically this is called "baseball finger" in Japan, but you can also find it under "mallet finger" in Wikipedia. Be aware, some photos might not be for the faint of heart.
I will spare you the incredibly painful details of the day after surgery, but from a geek point of view the current state of my finger is somewhat cool, featuring 2 titanium nails drilled into the bone. Remember the Borgs from Star Trek?
Check out the attached photos from before and after. Sorry for the stretched middle finger, no offense intended :-)

Onomichi Ryokan
Time stood still here the last few decades, just have a look at their phones. It was hard to explain my kids how these things work, they were missing the touchscreen interface. Sign o' the times!
Nevertheless the Onsen felt great after an interesting trip to Kure today, visiting the battleship Yamato, one of the most progressive ships of the Emperor's navy in World War II. We even walked through a real submarine and saw the torpedo chambers.
Next: an ice cold beer and even more awesome Japanese seafood served to the room. After that, more Onsen for sure.
