Left Paris early and headed via Bruxelles (so Ian got to go to Belgium ever so briefly) to Cologne and then Bonn. Picked up from the bahnhof by Kerstin and her mum Ute. A bit surreal actually being with Kerstin in Bonn. Had a lovely afternoon ... Read more >

Would have been happy to stay for a while in Munich. But Berlin beckons. Caught another of the very quick trains which did speeds of 200km and then dawdled for bits. The countryside was much less changing than the last trip. It was mainly flat, flat ... Read more >

Went touring again and this time to Neuschwanstein. The tours here are done by train so it's basically just turn up on the day and pop on the train with your guide. This makes them quite cheap - not much more than the train travel itself! Our guide ... Read more >

Decided to go and do the morning tour of Dachau. Our guide was a Brit and actually gave us the 5hr version. It was certainly an eye opener and he was quite passionate about the subject and telling us all about all that went on there. What ... Read more >
