One of the small negatives about visiting German IMO is that 99% of restaurants (especially in Bavaria) are almost identical in the types of beer and food served. Although I love the German food/drink I also love to finish off with a Guiness which is impossible to order in the older bier kellers.
I've recently (July 26th -3rd Aug) came back from Munich and also went last year. It's ace, average temperature 34C great food and traditional bier kellers and if you want more traditional try Kennedys Irish Bar at top of Sendlinger Tor or Killans Irish/Aussie bar near Marienaplatz (stupid clock thing!). I recommend ordering a 'Helle Mas' (1.5 litre of German beer). You'll enjoy it.
Bought yesterday and already over 115 pages in; The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham is very good. I was expecting a typical sci-fi novel of fighting big verocious cacti with lasers but it's far deeper and intereting than that. I still expect the cacti war in the latter stages of the book but up to now its just scary words......
I've only been to La Manga (three times) on a golfing holiday. I say 'golfing' loosely as we never bothered playing on the last one. Too many hangovers and expensive course fees put a stop to that.
10 nights and looking forward to everyone. I've not heard any bad things (probably a few as with every country) but the vast majority give NY a great big thumbs up. It'll be like walking through every movie I've seen on the TV.
German is basically English pronounced wrong! Drinking = Trinken, Eating = Essen, North = Nord, Night = Naght (sp). Etc
Why did he need to learn German almost 90% of Germans are fluent in English?
