EBC photography: A view of the Rhine River this spring amid the pandemic

“So ein herrlicher Tag!” What a glorious day as the Germans say.

Keeping upbeat amid the coronavirus pandemic is necessary for one’s mental and emotional health.

In Germany, where one is still allowed to go out to take a walk provided you maintain the required social or physical distancing, enjoying spring can indeed lift up your spirits.

This is what couple Daisy and Olaf Prodigalidad did, taking a walk along the river Rhine, mindful of social distancing rules, in the first week of April this spring.

And aside from a rejuvenating walk, what else can give a smile to one’s day.

Well, a lovely cake would certainly do.

So this is what Daisy did.

So on a weekend, Daisy baked this irresistible cake topped with glazed fresh strawberries and some whipped cream!
