Heliopark Bad Hotel Zum Hirschen Baden-Baden

I started the week in Geneva because of work. During my weekly Skype call with my parents, they mentioned my brother would be leaving for Paris the next morning. Nice of him to tell me! I called him but couldn't get a hold of him, so tried again in the morning. By the time I was awake on Monday, he was in bed for the night, but luckily he woke up and answered the phone. He told me he had a free day on Wednesday with no plans so this would be a good day for us to ...

... or shower curtains? No matter how careful you are, the floor gets soaked every time. Do they all take baths?<br><br>Pam and Glenn Said:<br><br>You could definitely tell the German influence here at this border town. What an interesting city on the L&#8217;Ill River. We had a great time walking around the old city where Glenn enjoyed a traditional stew of three different kinds of meat. (If he knew what was in it, he probably wouldn&#8217;t have eaten it.)

Hablar de Estrasburgo es hablar de la Gran Isla en la que se asienta su centro histórico, abrazada por el rio Ill, afluente del Rhin. Es uno de los cascos medievales mejor conservados de Europa y su catedral es una de las mas altas del mundo. La recorrimos en barco por sus canales y paseamos por el barrio de la Petite France, el mas pinturesco de Estrasburgo y el que tiene mas canales.

... hotel is a big picture of the little prince AND apparently the rooms are decorated after different themes from the book. I didn't get to go in but someday I will definitely stay there. <br>I also saw my first movie in a German theatre which was really cool...I saw Up, I liked it but obviously didn't understand much. Anyway, I definitely recommend it...even just for a few hours!

... sample the therapeutic waters..well Lauren did, she fell in the public fountain..alittle too enthusiastically reaching for a twig.<br><br>Then back to the caravan for pasta in a pan and of course Black Forest Gateaux...Frankfurt 5 star Hotel for Stu's birthday is on the cards next..hurrah!<br><br>One observation, Germans tend to decorate the gardens of their static caravans with gnomes and model deers, while the Italians opt for a yappy dog on a piece of string.

... woman standing next to you is too. This isn't more apparent then when you walk out of your changing room with just your locker key wrapped around your wrist. It's all very sterile on the inside as you walk down a white hallway wondering if you're heading in the right direction. My thought was "those creams in the glass casing up ahead better not be the gift shop." At the first stage you're greeted by an attendant, who is dressed all in white, for a ...

I had planned to visit Strasbourg on three separate dates in the past, all with the same friend. Each time we had to postpone it for one reason or another. Today our plan finally came together. We got in a car with our men and drove out to Strasbourg. My friend is even more organized than me and had everyone download audio guides from Zevisit in our own native language beforehand. Once we got to the city we started our audio tour in ...

We caught the wrong train and wound up in Gengenbach. While we were waiting for a train back we met a lady who told us the town had a beautiful old-town section. So we went discovering again. After a good look around we stopped at a pub while we were waiting for the next train and got talking to the owner. Turns out he'd been to Australia on holiday, so we had a good time talking to him until it was time to go.

... a toilet, but I never could seem to find them, so I ended up finding my own toilet ... Back to the hostel - for some reason, the area surrounding it reminded me of the neighbourhood that I stayed in while visiting Palma de Mallorca. Perhaps it's because Mallorca has been on my mind after meeting PIP (psychotic Irish Patrick) in Amsterdam, who in turn reminded me of psychotic Nicky from Mallorca. It was a creepy walk back up to the hostel, since it was ...

... here start at &euro;70 and this place was &euro;39! My room was tiny but clean and adorable! I imagine this must have been the lady's maid's quarters. Often times the lady's maid would have a cot in a closet off the main bedroom and this totally had this feel and the next day when the maid's were cleaning I was able to sneak a peek at the room next door and it was huge. So yeah...I'm thinking pretty good guess ...
