Beach Loungers

These wicker beach loungers are an essential feature of German beaches - far better than deckchairs, they keep the sea breeze off and offer safe places to put your stuff and - most importantly - your drinks!

As I'd never seen them before coming to Germany, I've always had a bit of thing about them - I think they're very cool and if we manage to find a flat with a big enough balcony/terrace, I'm definitely going to get one!

They are also very photogenic, especially when combined with beautiful evening light such as here on the beach at Norddorf on the North Sea island of Amrum.

By the way: I'm "member of the week" this week, so if you fancy asking me anything, feel free to do so here!
