Wednesday, April 25, 2012. New Train timetable period - 12th December. I%26#39;ll be travelling through Germany mainly via the ICE train in mid December this year.

Visiting Bavaria: Loden coat - Loden Frey?
http://visitingbavaria.blogspot.com/2012/04/loden-coat-loden-frey.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Loden coat - Loden Frey? I want to buy a Loden coat when in Munich in November. Is Loden Frey the best bet? I bought one there 20 years ago during the winter sale which I think is usually in January. I read somewhere they have an outlet - is that true? I want a ladies long Loden coat - traditional buttons the works. How much should I budget for that? The back of the coat is split so you can ride a bike in the coat like any other German lady! I bought myself a long one from a stor...

Visiting Bavaria: Lee Barracks Mainz
http://visitingbavaria.blogspot.com/2012/03/lee-barracks-mainz.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. Does anyone know what happened to Lee Barracks in Mainz? My husband was stationed there many years ago and we were wondering what happened to it and also Aldo%26#39;s Pizza? Most off the post in wiesbaden and Mainz are gone since 1995.most of the buisnes are gone too. The US Army left Mainz in the mid-90s. Most of what used to be Lee Barracks is now (civilian) housing. But the KFC restaurant is still there :-). I served in Mainz in 1981-1983 at Lee Barracks. I was in Bco. I live a...

Visiting Bavaria: Which Tram Ticket to get?
http://visitingbavaria.blogspot.com/2012/03/which-tram-ticket-to-get.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. Which Tram Ticket to get? Hopefully someone can reply to this by tonight as we fly in the morning. When we arrive at the airport in Bremen we know we need to get Tram 6, but on the ticket machine what option do I press if I simply just want 2 adult singles to Hauptbahnhof? You need 2 single tickets for EUR 2,20 each. Click after the introduction video on the Union Jack. You cannot pay by card as I assume you don%26#39;t have a GeldKarte (or even know what this is). Does anyone kno...

http://visitingbavaria.blogspot.com/2012/04/derag-max-emanuel.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Is there anyone who is familiar with the hotel Derag Max Emanuel in the Haidhausen neighborhood? Two of us (separate rooms) are heading to Munich for six days before Christmas and the rate for this hotel (and what reviews we can find) look great. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Room was a bit outdated but surprisingly large (23 m2) with balcony and a kitchenette (yay! Have never stayed there, but its round the corner from my flat, so I can tell you its a g...

Visiting Bavaria: Traditional German Music
http://visitingbavaria.blogspot.com/2012/04/traditional-german-music.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. I will shortly become an occasional visitor to Bonn (every couple of months). I know it%26#39;s a bit touristy but I love Oompa Bands, Polkas, Alpine music (and the odd stein of good German Bier). While this is more widespread in Bavaria (which I visited and loved) are the any places in Bonn where I could see and hear this sort of band or group. Thank you in advance. Ask around while in Bonn, your hotel receptionist should be able to help. I am going to agree with Blandine, thi...

Shoppin in Paris: Rue Saint Louis en l'Ile (4th) or 154 Rue du Temple (3rd)?
http://shoppin-in-paris.blogspot.com/2012/04/rue-saint-louis-en-lile-4th-or-154-rue.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Rue Saint Louis en l'Ile (4th) or 154 Rue du Temple (3rd)? Promise, last question for me regarding location. Locals.which would you personally choose? I%26#39;m not a local, but without hesitation I%26#39;d pick the rue St-Louis-en-l%26#39;Ile, all other things being equal. It is right in the middle of the Ile St. Louis, as filled with charm as almost any street in Paris, and very central to everything. I second Irish%26#39;s recommendation. Just a note of thanks to everyone fo...

Thanks for any assistance available. If you are really looking for rooms with view the Eiffel Tower. Why don%26#39;t you try the Ho...
