Sylt 

Sylt is always worthy a journey. Sylt is one of the most famous islands of Germany. It lays in the Northern Sea near the Danish border. You can find it easily because it has a very special form like a bow.

Recently I had my first visit on Sylt and it was a great experience. I was lucky because the weather was really nice and I really could enjoy the island. On Sylt you have this very special German conservative atmosphere, but that doesn’t bother because the people are nice and the landscape is just beautiful.

Sansibar 

To be honest, I should have been the youngest human on the island but Sylt is quite expensive and not easy to reach. But an exclusive destination and high costs are also a grantor of quality. This quality you can get when you go out to eat on Sylt. One evening my colleagues and I have been to the Sansibar – a very nice high-quality restaurant with mainly fish on the menu. And they have an exquisite wine carte. So whenever you will be on Sylt visit the Sansibar – or other very nice restaurants on the beach-site.





Snail à la carte

Snails - source: WikiActually, I am not a coward concerning food. I ate a lot of different seafood and other animal and I have to admit that I really love to eat seafood and are sometimes very curious about new tastes. But regarding snails I have been very picky in the past. OK, I tried frogs and other stuff in France but I have never tried snails.

At my visit in Oberhausen , Germany, last week it was my turn to give it a try. I was still a little bit skeptic when I read ’snails’ in the card of the restaurant so I decided to order ‘Snails in Tomato-Sauce’. In case of a bad taste of the snails I would had some tomato sauce. Afterward I really have to say that snails are really tasty although they are slimy. They taste a little bit like mussels. So when you like mussels you will like snails as well. And I learned that you should really give it a try before you give a statement about a matter.
