Ja, es ist noch ziemlich dunkel, obwohl es schon halb sieben ist. Wir fahren gerade auf Cura\u00e7ao zu. Hier haben Torben und ich zwei Ausfl\u00fcge gebucht. Vormittags die Hato-H\u00f6hle und ein Gang durch Willemstad, nachmittags zusammen mit den anderen ein Spaziergang durch Willemstad und dann noch Besuch des maritimen Museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, somehow, a lot happened here \u2026 but let us start properly at the beginning: Good morning! Yes, it is still quite dark, even though it is six thirty already. At the moment we are coming towards Cura\u00e7ao. Torben and I have booked two excursions for today. In the morning the Hato cave and a walk through Willemstad, and in the afternoon together with the others a stroll through Willemstad and then also a visit of the Maritime Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/01.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/01-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/01-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ja, das klingt nach doppelt gemoppelt, aber wir lieben H\u00f6hlen. Und wenn da ein erster Blick auf die Stadt dabei ist, k\u00f6nnen wir uns vormittags etwas orientieren und wissen nachmittags schon, wo wir genauer hinsehen wollen. Denn Willemstad muss sehr sehenswert sein!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, that does sound like doing things twice over, but we love caves. And if that trip includes a first look at the town, then we can get our bearings in the morning and in the afternoon we already know where we want to take a closer look. Because it sounds like Willemstad is well worth looking at!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>F\u00fcr 8:45 war der Start geplant. Wir waren rechtzeitig am Busbahnhof am Hafen, haben uns f\u00fcr die Tour registriert und sind dann nach einer Desinfektion der H\u00e4nde in den Bus. Ein \u00e4lterer Herr wollte das nicht mitmachen. Er hat sich furchtbar aufgeregt, dass niemand etwas auf seine H\u00e4nde spr\u00fchen darf und ist entr\u00fcstet abgezogen. (wir m\u00fcssen hier dauernd die H\u00e4nde desinfizieren, auch vor jedem Essen an Bord &#8230; hungert er die ganze Zeit???) Naja, wir sind dann losgefahren und gleich wieder stehengeblieben. Unser Guide Antonio hat uns schon erste Dinge \u00fcber die Insel erz\u00e4hlt, aber irgendwann wurde klar \u2013 hier geht nichts vom Fleck! Vor uns stand noch ein Bus, und davor war die Ausfahrt von streikenden Leuten blockiert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The start was planned for 8:45. We were well in time at the bus station at the harbour, registered for the tour and after the usual disinfection of our hands we got on the bus. An elderly gentleman did not want to accept the procedure. He got all upset, that nobody would spray anything on his hands, and then indignantly marched off. (we constantly have to disinfect our hands, also before every meal on board \u2026 does he starve all the time???) Oh well, the bus then started moving and stopped again right away. Our guide already told us the first few things about the island, but then after a while we realized \u2013 nothing is moving here! In front of us there was another bus, and in front of that, the exit was blocked by people on strike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/03.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/03-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wir haben dann zugesehen, wie nichts vom Fleck ging.

Hm. Auf jeden Fall haben \u00f6rtliche Touranbieter und Taxifahrer gestreikt, weil AIDA (anders als andere Anbieter) keine freien Landg\u00e4nge erlaubt hat und sie somit null Gesch\u00e4ft machen konnten. Da haben wir dann erfahren, dass die morgendlichen Ansagen, die immer erz\u00e4hlen, dass in Absprache mit den \u00f6rtlichen Beh\u00f6rden keine individuellen Ausfl\u00fcge erlaubt sind, sehr missverst\u00e4ndlich formuliert waren. Es war eine reine AIDA Entscheidung, dass wir nicht auf eigene Faust auf die Inseln durften. Kein Wunder, dass die Gesch\u00e4ftsleute auf Cura\u00e7ao genervt waren!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then finally the captain came into our bus, said: that for him it was also a first time, to make a speech in a tour bus. Hm. Anyhow, local tour guides and taxi drivers were on strike, because AIDA (different from other providers) did not allow any individual excursions and thus they could not make a sale. So there we found out that the usual morning address, telling us that after consultation with the local authorities, not individual trips were allowed, were worded in a way that could nicely be misunderstood. It was a clear AIDA decision that we are not allowed to explore the islands on our own. No wonder that the business people on Cura\u00e7ao were annoyed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/07.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/07.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/07-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/07-768x434.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wir durften dann irgendwann aus dem Bus aussteigen und ein bisschen herumlaufen, w\u00e4hrend die AIDA Leute und welche von der Hafen-Sicherheitsbeh\u00f6rden weiter geredet haben.

Aber uns zum Schiff schicken und dann den Bus abfahren lassen &#8230; Ja, dann sollten wir den Ausflug halt nachmittags machen! Da hatten wir aber ja schon den Ausflug mit der Familie vor. Tja, was tun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then disputed with a lady from the AIDA, who did not know a thing, then we went over to the gentlemen Captain and General Manager, who were also still standing there. They did not think they had done anything wrong, the strike is not their fault! Yes, and we never said that! But to send us to the ship and then to let the bus leave \u2026 Hey, then we should just take the tour in the afternoon! But for that time we already had the trip with the family planned. Well, and now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/13.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/13-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/13-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Zur\u00fcck an Bord haben wir hin und her \u00fcberlegt. 12:30 k\u00f6nnten wir die H\u00f6hlen-Tour machen, aber f\u00fcr 14:15 haben wir ja die andere Tour geplant. Wir haben uns dann bei AIDA genauere Infos geholt: der Gang durch die Stadt ist bei beiden Touren exakt derselbe. Und dann kam auch noch die Durchsage, dass wir auf einmal doch auch individuell Ausfl\u00fcge machen d\u00fcrfen. Also haben wir entschieden, wir fahren um halb eins zur H\u00f6hle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back on board we thought back and forth. 12:30 we could do the caves tour, but for 2:15 we had planned the other trip.

Hier war das weniger eine gro\u00dfe Halle mit kleineren Ausl\u00e4ufern sondern das Gegenteil. L\u00e4ngere G\u00e4nge und dann hat sich immer mal ein gr\u00f6\u00dferer Raum ge\u00f6ffnet. Gleich am Anfang sind wir durch eine Halle, in der eine Menge Flederm\u00e4use unterwegs waren, toll! Aber auch hier war Fotografierverbot, au\u00dfer in ein paar ausgew\u00e4hlten R\u00e4umen, und unser Guide hat sehr genau aufgepasst &#8230; Also leider keine Flederm\u00e4use f\u00fcr Euch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cave itself was totally different from the one we had seen in the Dominican Republic. Here it was less one large hall with small extensions, but rather the exact opposite. Longer corridors and then here and there a larger space opened up. Right at the start we went through one hall where a lot of bats were flying around, great! But here as well, taking pictures was not allowed, except in a few selected spots, and our guide paid close attention \u2026 So unfortunately no bats for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/17.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/17-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/17-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aber auch hier waren die Steinformationen sehr interessant zu sehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here as well the rocky formations were very interesting to look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>240m tief geht das H\u00f6hlensystem in den Berg.

Das sorgt daf\u00fcr, dass hier eine Menge gr\u00fcne Algen gedeihen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cave system goes 240m into the mountain. Escaped slaves had also found a hiding spot here time and again. At one spot there is a \u201cwindow\u201d in the ceiling, through which the sunlight falls into the cave.

It carries two dates: At the bottom on the wall the 1769, which is when the church was built, and at the top on the little tower the 1903, when the turret was restored.

Also haben Torben und ich uns das Museum ganz schnell ein bisschen angesehen &#8230; denn eigentlich sollte es in zehn Minuten schlie\u00dfen.

So Torben and I took a bit of a look around in the museum, real quickly \u2026 because really, it was supposed to close in ten minutes. But: They were waiting for another group from the AIDA, that is why we were still allowed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/34.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/34.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/34-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/34-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Drinnen gab es eine Menge zu sehen &#8230; Die Fahrten des Columbus zum Beispiel. Der wollte ja bekanntlich von Europa aus nach Westen direkt nach Indien segeln. Ihm war klar, dass das eine sehr weiter Fahrt w\u00fcrde, und um seine Mannschaft nicht zu entmutigen, nahm er jeden Tag zwei Messungen vor, wie weit man wohl gekommen sei: Eine realistische f\u00fcr sich selber, und eine erfundene f\u00fcr die Crew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside there was lots to see \u2026 The voyages of Columbus for example. As you know he meant to sail from Europe directly West to India. He was aware that that would be a very long journey, and to not discourage his men, he made two daily calculations, how far they had come: One realistic one for himself, and a fictitious one for the crew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/33.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/33.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/33-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/33-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Bandbreite hier im Museum war erstaunlich: da gab es eine Ausstellung \u00fcber die moderne K\u00fcstenwache genauso wie vieles \u00fcber die Geschichte von Willemstad. Da waren alte Schiffsmodelle zu sehen und Geschichten \u00fcber Piraten zu lesen. Und die ber\u00fchmte Br\u00fccke der Stadt gibt es als Modell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spectrum here in the museum was amazing: there was an exhibition about the modern coast guard as well as much about the history of Willemstad. There were models of old ships to see and stories about pirates to read. And the famous bridge of the city can be seen as a model: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sehr spannend fand ich die Geschichte der Post-Schifffahrt. 1825 ging es los, auf Betreiben von K\u00f6nig Wilhelm I. Alle zwei Monate segelte da ein Schiff los. Und 1827-1829 wurde dann ein Raddampfer genutzt. Das war etwas riskant, denn die Cura\u00e7ao war ein recht kleines Schiff, und die Dampfschifffahrt steckte noch in den Kinderschuhen. Aber, sie war das erste Dampfschiff, dass den Atlantik \u00fcberquerte! In nur 28 Tagen, die Segler brauchten 40 &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very interesting I thought the history of the postal shipping. 1825 it started, at the instigation of King William I. Every two months a ship set sail. And 1827-1829 then they used a paddle steamer. That was a touch risky, because the Cura\u00e7ao was a rather small ship, and the steam navigation was still in its infancy. But, she was the first steamship that crossed the Atlantic! In only 28 days, the sailing ships took 40 days to cross \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/35-768x434.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ein weniger sch\u00f6nes Thema: Die Sklaverei.\u00a0Die Gefangenen wurden oft im Zwischendeck untergebracht, wo sonst die Crew lebte. Es gab einen Arzt an Bord, der sich um die Sklaven k\u00fcmmern sollte, denn jeder tote Sklave war ein Verlust f\u00fcr die Mannschaft, die an diesem grausigen Gesch\u00e4ft verdiente. 85% der Sklaven erreichten die Insel, die Todesrate war unter der Mannschaft oft h\u00f6her als bei den Sklaven. (kein Mitleid, sorry!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A rather not so pretty topic: Slavery.\u00a0The captives were often put on the between deck, where normally the crew lived. There was a physician on board, who was to take care of the slaves, because every dead slave was a loss for the entire crew who all shared in this gruesome profit. 85% of the slaves reached the island, the death rate was often higher among the crew than among the captives. (no pity, sorry!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/37.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/37.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/37-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/37-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wir werden jetzt aber wieder rausgehen, die anderen treffen und uns diese ber\u00fchmte Br\u00fccke endlich mal genauer ansehen und einmal \u00fcberqueren.

Sp\u00e4ter haben wir das Schild gesehen: Rote Flagge: Br\u00fccke \u00f6ffnet sich f\u00fcr 10 Minuten, kein F\u00e4hrdienst. Blaue Flagge: Br\u00fccke \u00f6ffnet sich f\u00fcr 45 Minuten und die F\u00e4hre \u00fcbernimmt.

Later we saw the sign: Red flag: bridge will open for 10 minutes, no ferry service. Blue flag: bridge will open for 45 minutes, and the ferry service takes over. (And I had been worried that we might not get to see the bridge in action \u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/40.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/40.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/40-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/40-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Da dr\u00fcben ging gerade eben noch die Br\u00fccke weiter &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over there is where just a moment ago the bridge used to go on \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/41.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/41.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/41-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/41-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230; und hier sieht man das \u201eScharnier\u201c.

Wie ich nach all dem Fotografieren endlich am Ende ankomme, gings da ein ganzes St\u00fcck runter.

But when I, finally finished with taking lots of pictures, finally reached the end of the bridge, there was quite a drop. Well, so I got down on my knees and started climbing down \u2026 later we did see that there is a nice little gate on the side, where you can exit without climbing &#x1f60a;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/42.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/42.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/42-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/42-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Br\u00fccke schwimmt auf Pontons.
