Ramada Treff Bensheim

... Well here's the story:<br> <br>After having met a bunch of design students "by chance" (still don't believe in chance though ;) at a party,<br><br> [to be continued]<br><br> I reckon this trip will help me to make some awesome pictures.<br>

... now cold, windy and rainy...I am sorry for my friends who are now working.<br><br> Here starts the Brazil trip! <br> <br> PLEASE THIS IS A PRIVATE TRAVELBLOG, DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THIS ADRESS TO OTHER <br> PEOPLE!<br><br> <br><br><br><br>

It was sooooo cold in Frankfurt, we didn't want to spend much time here since we had no winter clothing. WE got in late, went to our hotel, then back to the airport to get our flight to Bangkok moved up. We though it would be at 8 that night, but they managed to get us on the next flight out, which was pretty much within the hour. Woohooo! I also kept speaking Italian in Germany... so confused with all the languages.

... castle could put any stair master to shame and with far superior scenery too. Could have taken the funicular, but that would have been too easy. As with most hoofing walks, the view paid off. The castle looks out over the Neckar river and the town below. With the trees changing color . . . great place to be. <br><br>This was a Dad castle if I've ever seen one. Inside are two giant wine barrels that once held ...

... a Haut Medoc from France? {what the heck is a Haut Medoc?}I have no idea what I selected or how much it cost in USD. I was told to stick to about $30/bottle but who can translate at 8 am after an 11 hour flight? I think it was about 57 Euro's total, so either way, I am 50% off budget - still not sure if I went too cheap or too expensive. Hopefully my colleague, Wally, the one who requested the purchase will be happy either way. <br><br>In ...

... their walls, not to mention some German candies.<br><br>Unfortunately it was time to call it a trip, so we all piled in the car and Flo kindly drove us home on the ultra-efficient Autobahn where nobody drives slowly in the left lane.<br><br>Auf wiedersehen! It was a great trip!<br><br>Pam and Glenn said: <br><br>Pam&#8217;s first observation of her old high school alma mater town of Frankfurt was that it had not changed much. From the Bahnhoff down ...

... cheeses etc and waiters walking around trying to seat people. This was because, like Italy, in Germany you tip everyone who does something for you. Like, if you buy something over the counter you dont, but if someone helps you in some way then you are supposed to tip them. We actually heard that if you dont tip and then return to the same place, you practically wont be served. We didnt really want to test this. So, the waiter greeted us and asked what language we spoke (So we ...

Casey took me over to his new house in Bensheim. It was really nice - brand new. He took me downtown to the Bensheim Hauptstrasse (pedestrian street). There were some really nice restaurants, cafes, and shops. It's definitely a rich town and a very nice place to be. Casey took me up to the Bensheim Castle up on the hill. We took some pictures and really enjoyed a great view from the one of the castle towers. That ...

... and spending the next 10mins quibbling over 20c. No more 12hr bus rides without air con and dust blowing in any orifice exposed to it, no more will we be told that our destination is 1hr away and then in 3hrs time still be told it is 1hr away, before long it will all seem a distant memory, but at least not for today. So braving the cold we were off to explore our last country before heading home.
