Only three and a half months to go. Time is speeding by. I shall visit Frankfurt, Nuremburg, Gdanzk and Wroclaw. If anyone knows of hidden flea markets, weird shops, great places to eat; let me know.

returns from her trip down the Danube with AMA Waterways. This was a great way to travel. Food enough to satisfy a hungry Hobbit [9 meals]; a warm comfy bed and buses to get you close to the tourist hot spots after your boat docked. And the Christmas Markets. Wow.
