Hullo. 
As promised I'll share the photos of my hiking trip on Monday.
Monday (June 1st) was a national holiday in Germany and the weather was really lovely.
However, already when I was eating my breakfast they mentioned on the radio that all hiking parking lots in a certain region were completely full.
I did expect it to become busy, but not THAT crazy! Luckily I chose a trip in a different area and I also had prepared two alternatives in case I couldn't find a parking lot at my favorite choice.
As I've mentioned in one of my previous entries, people are parking crazily on the side of streets or on farmer's grass fields etc. Police is doing controls.
I was lucky and found one last parking lot where I could squeeze my car in. Parking is quite expensive, costing 4 €, but I just was informed that because so many people are flocking in this year they'll increase it to 10€. What?
The thing is that it won't stop people from "wild parking" as those people don't pay the fees anyway.
And the 10€ will stay for the entire year? Even off season when just the locals wanna park there? C'mon! :( ....
If I had a bigger car, I'd get a bike mount for my car, would park away from the popular hiking parking lots and just bike the rest of the way.....
Unfortunately I live a bit too far away from most hiking spots to actually go there by bike from home.

The trip itself was really beautiful, though.
I think it might be time to change my LJ layout, so I can finally share wider / bigger photos. 600 pixels is really not big enough, what do you think? ^^; ....
( some more photos )
So, to come back to my initial idea.
I think it might be time to finally switch to an LJ layout that allows bigger photos. I know I can just switch the layout of the single LJ post to the standard one while keeping my original layout on my main page.
That would also be nice, because the current layout is quite nostalgic, I've had it for such a long time now.
If I want to switch completely, any idea where I could get a layout from? I haven't changed anything around LJ for ages, so I don't know how easy it would be to do everything manually and I also don't want to spend too much time on it.
Also, a few people said I should just start a new blog about hiking or visiting places in my region.
This idea is actually not new, I already considered doing it together with a friend in 2015 when I was still active on my Japan blog.
But as most of you know my Japan blog has been on hiatus for a very long time now for a REASON. I simply don't have the time to keep it up. It would be the same with another blog ...
I just don't want to sit in front of the computer even AFTER work. That's the main issue here. :/ .....
I hope you enjoy your weekend! ^___^
