Dirt from Mannheim
This sweet confection, which is very similar to lebkuchen or ginger bread, is a speciality of Mannheim. It was introduced in the early 1800s as a reaction to a city ordinance concerning refuse by an enterprising baker.
It’s a Beautiful Castle
It’s even called Schönburg which means beautiful castle. The worst thing about it is that you have to walk up that hill to get there.
This Is not a Fever Tree
In South Africa there a certain kind of tree, the vachellia xanthophloea (xanthophloea refers to the yellow bark). Now I know that the common name, fever tree, stems from the fact that they were first found in malaria infected areas but you can always see a fever tree from afar – the bark stands out and the stem and the branches look as if they were glowing from the inside.
I’ve never seen a specimen in Germany but in the right light a poplar can look luminous, too.
