October 2022:
Some days with stormy weather while Hurricane ‘Ian’ passed by. A lot of water flooded many streets and area’s. Heavy wind killed some tree’s and spread unsecured things ... After some days life’s continued like nothing happenend with beautiful sunrises again ...
April 2022:
Back in Daytona for Bike Week. After I missed BW 2021, I’m glad to be back and see the beautiful Bike’s and Biker’s again. This year with a lot of action (More pictures you find here ...). The Riverfront Esplanade Construction is going on well. And of course, not to forget the ‘All-Time-High’ in Daytona - the sunrise’s ... :-)
November 2021:
Finally I was able to visit my loved Daytona Beach for some days! These hard ‘Corona Times’ - hopefully they will be history soon! I enjoyed the beautiful sunrises - I missed them soooo much! And I saw the most beautiful bridge finally finished! When the ‘Riverfront Esplanade’ once will be opened to the public, Daytona will be a glamorous city: A wonderful future for this Florida Beauty! :-) Hopefully, I will be able to come back for Bike Week 2022! See you!
October 2020:
This year in autumn I was not able to visit my most loved city on this planet - Daytona Beach! The travel ban get’s me out! I’m so sad! As an alternative I visited a beautiful harbor city in northern Germany. Wilhelmshaven. This city remind’s me always a little to be as Daytona Beach. Wilhelmshaven has beautiful bridges and fresh air, too! So, whenever you are in Germany - check out this cute city ... :-)
March 2020:
Bike Week 2020 finished. This time there weren’t many people present as usual. One of the reasons was surely the Corona virus pandemic or because it was only the 79th meeting ...
