Apartment-Hotel New Angela Bad Kissingen

... to my hotel. Now I know why they call it LUGgage. After settling into my room, I headed out to take the "Night Watchman Tour". The tour was only an hour, but it was informative and the Watchman was humorous as well. After the tour, I went To Hell, yes that is the restaurant's name, for dinner. FYI, they serve good food in Hell. So the next time someone tells you to "go to Hell", it may very well be a good suggestion!

While going from case to case at the various German hospitals, I had the opportunity to finally see what the Autobahn was all about. Yes, there is no speed limit, but it has plenty of traffic, so it didn't prove to be the speed thrill I had imagined. We did get some RPM's revving every once-in-awhile however.<br><br ...

We were taken to the palace of the Prince-Bishop. It reminded me of a smaller version of Catherine's palace in St. Petersburg, where one room flows into the next, each one more opulent. <br><br>The temperature is in the 40's and windy. Prior to our trip all sources indicated it would be in the 50's and 60's. Oh well.<br><br>Last night there was dancing to the music of Sasha- a Bavarian born ...

At Bamberg we left the Danube-Main Canal. The canal was completed in 1992 and allows ships to travel from the North Sea to the Black Sea. This connection had been dreamed of since Charlemagne tried digging one in the 8th century. Another attempt was made in the 1800s but the advent of the railroad doomed it. It took 20th century technology to make it possible. The canal itself has 34 locks out of the total of ...

... most important cities in the Holy Roman Empire and in 1248 work began on its mighty cathedral, designed to house the relics of the Three Wise Men. Known as the Dom (pronounced dome), it was once the world&#8217;s tallest building and is arguably still the world&#8217;s greatest Gothic edifice, attracting pilgrims from all over Europe, even though it was not to be completed for another six centuries. It is still Germany&#8217;s most visited attraction. <br>

... on in German, so we quietly leave the room.<br><br>We get the guides and begin the tour of the castle. The first rooms are about the war and what happened in this area. Most buildings were bombed and then fire bombed so a lot of the town was destroyed. Then it went on to describe the rebuilding of the town and then Germany as a whole. It wasn't quite what we had expected as we thought we would be seeing the rooms ...

... been there longer, so I understand why we were hurried. I am glad we took the tour, though, because it gave us a better understanding of how life really was at Dachau for the prisoners. It's a pretty important thing to understand, I think. <br>It's still difficult to comprehend, though, that something like that could happen. Kevin compared it to Guantanamo Bay, and in a way, he had a good point about some of the similarities. I won't go through his whole argument, but ...

From Alices Diary<br>" The day started of nice and relaxed.  We didn't have breakfast until 8.30am, caught up on some washing and sat up on the deck to watch the world go by.  The weather is starting to pick up and we are leaving the rain behind.  At 10.30am happy hour was announced and we went down to the lounge to enjoy smoked sausages with beer and wine and so an hour later everyone was very happy ...

... This place used to be called the "Stay and Learn Hostel", and offered English lessons. After seeing all the female Spanish tourists in the place, I realized that they could all stay at my place, and I could teach them English, for free! Of course, I would never expect anything else in return for offering these services ... There isn't much to do in Frankfurt, and what little there is to do, I pretty much did last year. I wandered around a bit - at ...
