Diving at the Azores

17 April 2016 in Travel, Portugal, Azores

Long time no post… I am slowly catching up with postprocessing photos, so hopefully I am finished with last years vacation pictures before this years vacation. Last year I spent some days with Nuno, Mariana and the kids in Horta on the island of Faial, Azores. We did a lot of diving with Norberto. Weather was mostly bad, but when you are underwater it doesn’t matter too much. We did some dives close to the shore which were already spectacular, but the most thrilling dive was at Princess Alice bank, some 100 miles offshore.

Israel again

6 February 2016 in Travel, Israel, Haifa

The nice thing about my job is that they leave me out of the office once in a while to visit partner companies somewhere in the world. Last year I could go to Israel again for a few days. As usual, there is not a lot of time for sight-seeing on business trips, but the colleagues in Israel made sure that I could see something of their interesting country: Armaggeddon, Bet-She’an and Caesarea.
