Well it's my last full week and we are down at the American army base in Hoenfels. It was a long drive 5/6 hours and we arrived to the weirdest hotel ever. This area is deep Germany where the ladies wear traditional dress and the men chop wood as that's all they can do I think as it's in a massive forest with nothing else to do, maybe this is why religion is a big thing here, in the village there a loads of crosses and Jesus nailed to a few of them, so if you liv...

Milan was very busy and this was not helped by the fact the Italian President Mr Berlusconi was in town on a political drive. F...

It's a really nice place an old medieval city with alot of history and old buildings, there were some really nice shops including the Kathe Wolfahrt Christmas shop. If you like Christmas you would love it a huge store dedicated to christmas all year round. It was impressive to s...
