Today starts somewhat abruptly. The wailing of an alarm system wakes us from our sleep. - Ours? No, it's a camper that's a bit out of the way. -\u00a0<\/span>When the alarm sounds for the second time, I jump out of the bus wearing only a bed sheet to go and have a look. - An elderly lady is struggling with the alarm system. I can't tell what frightens her more, the wailing alarm system or the strange, scantily clad man. I'm glad it ended so lightly. However, as the rain is pouring down, my bedding is wet for the time being. But what worries me all the more is that no one else has looked except me. In the big city, I'm used to nobody looking when an alarm goes off. But in the country, I had hoped for more. Was the investment in our alarm systems supposed to have so little effect? It would be a shame, but civil courage seems to be dying out more and more. - What a shame, really!<\/span><\/p>\n

Woken up accordingly, we shower and drink coffee. - As it's not due to clear up until midday, we use the time to complete yesterday's blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

The climate here seems to be changing by the hour. - Speaking of climate change, I just read that Donald Trump shared a video of Greta Thunberg's speech at the UN Climate Summit on Twitter and\u00a0<\/span>wie folgt kommentiert hat: „Sie scheint ein gl\u00fcckliches junges M\u00e4dchen zu sein“\u00a0 – „<\/span>Sie blicke auf eine gl\u00e4nzende Zukunft“. Fr\u00fcher habe ich immer gedacht Reagan w\u00e4re der gr\u00f6\u00dfte Komiker, nicht nur Schauspieler, sondern vor allem ein Komiker, der zum Pr\u00e4sidenten gew\u00e4hlt wurde. – Doch was w\u00e4ren\u00a0Komik, ohne den amtierenden\u00a0Mr. President? Im Vergleich des besten Komikers im Pr\u00e4sidentenamt, liegt Trump um L\u00e4ngen vorn. Oder? – Zur\u00fcck zum Wetter, wie angesagt klart es auf.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0- Time to take a closer look at the citadel.<\/p>\n

The citadel was completed in 1689 under the direction of the fortress builder and architect Vauban. His client? None other than the Sun King,\u00a0<\/span>Louis XIV originally intended this strategic defensive base to protect the city of Bordeaux from enemy attacks. The citadel of Blaye dominates what I have now learned is the largest estuary in Europe, the Gironde. Today, the citadel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building, which is also known as the \"star and key of Aquitaine\", is enthroned on a rocky hill and our Hector stands in the middle of it, deeply impressed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Before Vauban, many other master builders had already put their hands to it. The\u00a0<\/span>Name stammt vom r\u00f6mischen Castrum \u201eBlavia\u201c, dessen Namen zusammengezogen wurde aus Belli Via \u2013 \u201eWege des Krieges\u201c. Und gek\u00e4mpft wurde hier wohl reichlich. Roland, Heerf\u00fchrer Karl des Gro\u00dfen und vor ihm Normannen, Westgoten, Vandalen\u00a0und halt als erstes den R\u00f6mern. „Veni, vidi, vici“<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
