Episode list

Yemen has been called happy Arabia since the time of the Roman Empire, but the current inhabitants of this poor country evoke a feeling of happiness mainly by chewing a drug. The ancient country offers an incredible amount of travel experiences from the "gingerbread" capital Sana'a, through the desert "Manhattan" Shibam to the excavations in Marib, which was supposed to be the seat of the legendary Queen of Sheba. However, on the way to Yemen, we will also visit the remnants of a peaceful Jewish community living in the middle of the Muslim majority and the island of Socotra, which is home to unique desert roses and dragon's blood trees.

There are seven little-known Channel Islands in the English Channel. One of them is Jersey. The independent state, which is the so-called British Dependent Territory, is a tax haven and 60 percent of its revenue comes from financial operations. This makes Jersey one of the richest places on the planet. However, megalithic builders, Celts and Normans, have left their mark here, and last but not least, Jersey, along with the neighboring islands, was the only British territory occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. Extensive fortifications have been preserved from that time. History breathes on you every step of the way, but the famous Jersey cows also graze here, the tastiest potatoes are grown, giant cabbage grows and a big flower festival takes place here. And the charming medieval laws still apply here.

A few years after World War II, it was a little-known Mexican village on the Pacific coast. However, the view from the massive cliffs and long sandy beaches fell in love with Hollywood stars, who came here especially in the fifties to seek peace and romance. At the same time, however, the city became a sought-after location for filmmakers. Belmondo was an irresistible man from Acapulco, Tarzan and Rambo were filming in the surrounding jungles with Sylvester Stallone, who immediately bought a house here. Hollywood and Acapulco simply belong together as identical twins, and film tracks can be found in a colonial fortress from pirate times. In the 1960s, however, Acapulco turned it into a year-round tourist factory, and today it is best known as the exuberant "Party Town" - a city of parties that never ends. However, the beauty of its beaches and cliffs persists, as does the show of jumpers, who from the 35-meter-high cliff of La Quebrada plunge into a sea depression with a depth of less than five meters.

To an island with terraced fields with great wine, triangular houses and public tobogganing.
