August, A Beautiful Month

Hello Guys! It is August again. A birth month of  4 of us in the family. Two of my nieces are having their birthdays this month. Happy birthday Red and Ethel. Happy birthday in advance to my brother-in-law as well. He is the author of the fantasy and adventurous book Claws of the Earth. A very interesting book to read.

August is a lovely month to all who are celebrating their birthdays. I wish all of you out there who are celebrating your birthdays this month, good health, peace and success in life. May your wishes and dreams in life come true. I wish that for myself, too.

The video above was taken in 2015 PPP in Wesel, Germany when I took a rest from strolling at the flea market and kirmes at the Rhine. Just a lovely day watching the people enjoyed boating.

So what event is happening this month in my neck of the woods? Well, same as usual every year. This will be the 40th PPP (Pauken, Plunder and Promenade) in Wesel. This is a great event in NRW (North Rhine Westfalia). It will start this coming Friday, the 4th of August and will end on the 6th Sunday evening. There will be a balloon flying event on Friday at the Römerwardt Flugplatz (flying place). On Saturday evening, there will be fireworks at the Rhine with lots of live music. Besides that, there is a Kirmes at the Rhine. The biggest Fleamarket in NRW will be on Sunday. I hope the weather will be good.

Traveling In Germany

I love traveling. Traveling widen my horizon and I came to know different kinds of people, their culture and tradition. Traveling in Germany is wonderful as there are many beautiful places to discover. Like the Rhine River. The Rhine River starts from the Canton Graubünden, at the southeast part of the Switzerland Alps, pass through Germany and then to the North Sea, in The Netherlands. 

Rhine River in Wesel, Germany

Traveling on the Rhine River is one of the best things you can do when you are in Germany. There are plenty of Rhine River cruises. You can choose a certain place where you can start your  trip. 

Here in Northrhine Westphalia, commonly known as NRW, you can take a cruise from  Düsseldorf or Cologne (Köln) to the next stop of the river cruise or vice versa. You can also take the Rhine River cruise from a certain part of Germany which will head to The Netherlands or to Switzerland. Suits yourself in which awesome view you would like to take.



On the first weekend of August, there´s an event in Wesel, NRW. It´s the PPP weekend. A festival at the Rhine River and there are cruises on that fireworks Saturday evening where the locals and the tourists watch the fireworks by the river bank or inside a cruise ship. Well, if you happen to be here in Germany at that time of the year or if you are planning to visit NRW, why not experience it. I´m sure you will love it.


Please check this link below of the PPP in Wesel for more information. Thanks for reading.
