'Bad (Badezimmer? Schlecht?)/ Bath (Bathroom? Bad?)'
First I struggled to understand today‘s challenge 😅 So here‘s my two-penny worth: The Ladies‘ restrooms at Harrods, London. Not too bad, eh??

I had to look it up, now I know a grater is a "Reibe". 🙂

'Werkzeug/ tool'
The metal crate on the right is the perfect tool to serve sweet mint tea at Café Hafa in Tangier (yes, this was the preferred hang-out of The Rolling Stones to burn a spliff)

'Upps!/Oops…'
I wanted one blackberry swirl and one lemon tart. But it was nearly closing time at Patisserie Habous in Ouarzazate, Morocco. So delicious, skipped dinner later on…

'Skurrile Hobbies/ weird pastimes'
On travels, I love browsing supermarkets and buying tempting stuff whose labels I am unable to understand. Back home I use it for cooking and am usually pretty excited…

'Freispiel/ wild card'
A boy in Zagora, Morocco offered me this self-made camel, trying to earn a little money. Now, nicely framed, it is still with me, in my bookcase.

'Orientalisch/ Oriental'
Not even situated in the Oriental core region, Morocco is, to me, the most Oriental country as such. Here Riad Amnay in Taroudannt. Phew, I had to choose from more than 2000 pics.

'Dinge die mit D beginnen/ items starting with D or look alike'
Dumpling (left) or doughboys (the smaller ones; spiced with nutmeg) are the perfect sides with Saltfish in a Caribbean breakfast 😋

'Fortbewegungsmittel/ means of transport'
The ultimate and absurdly cheap transport in the Caribbean isles are the small buses, sometimes jam-packed with up to 20 people, absolutely relaxed though. The more striking the graffiti outside, the cooler and louder the music inside.

Supermarkets in St Vincent and the Grenadines will provide an impressive shelf of spicy sauces and condiments, some might be tending to be 'a likkle' sweet, some sour…

My serious apologies, but knowing from my academic time in Germany I suggest to translate our "trick or treat" at Hallo’een as "Suesses, sonst gibt‘s Saures!" Whatever, I‘ll try to find a sweet-and-sour pic in my Library now.🎃

'Ein weiter Weg/ a long way'
At more than 500 miles, the Camino del Norte is one of the longer walks, and worth every mile. Pic taken in Basque Country near Zarautz.
