Some of the fab clothes for sale in Germany and Austria. I wish I was brave enough to take pics of the folk in the street wearing this gear. They looked brilliant!

Munchen
I tell you what. I’m REALLY looking forward to the whole of Europe being back at school. I think there are currently more tourists in Munich than Munchners! While the Italians are busy gesticulating wildly and yelling at each other, there is a cool calm about the Bavarian folk. Whether they’re riding their bikes, downing…
Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once.
Everyone loves a mystery. A puzzle to solve; a riddle to answer; to awaken their inner Columbo. Our apartment in Munich served up such a puzzle. The guy that owns this apartment, and 3 others in the building, doesn’t actually live here, so the problem travellers face is, how to get the keys? Arranging a…
“Mad” King Ludwig!
Well he can’t have been all that mad, because his over-the-top fanciful castles have made Bavaria one of the richest regions in Germany! More on that in a sec. It’s amazing how much you jam into one day on holiday. The days seems to stretch out to fit everything in. Granted, we’ve been slashing plans…
Rothenburg Highlights
It’s going to be a big day of driving today. First to the “fairytale castle” of Neuschwanstein, then through Oberammergau and to our next stop, Munich. Thought I’d remind myself of some of the things we’ve enjoyed so far. * Our cute apartment. It doesn’t have the trendiest or the most “German” decor, but it’s…
Playmobil FunPark
Avalon and Milana love Playmobil. The obsession started when I bought a couple of figurines from a little French girl at a garage sale years ago. They’ve slowly built up their collection, and now have an enormous crate filled with fairies, mermaids, school-kids, and furniture. It’s pretty expensive, and not all that popular, back home,…
Supermarkets, Sausages und Schneeballen
One of my favourite things to do overseas is to go supermarket shopping. Deciphering the dish powder from the laundry powder; checking out the unusual fruit and veg; trying to suss out what is important to the locals depending on where and how much of it is in the store. Today’s Mission Impossible : working…
Germany Day 1
We decided to lease a car for our trip via a scheme put together by the French government to get their back-log of new cars on the road. On paper, we’ve actually bought the car, and after 7 weeks, they buy it back from us. It all looked very professional and well put together, but…
