Well today went a lot better than yesterday. The bus line was in full service and made it to the place is I more or less (mostly less) mentioned yesterday, and that is the Konzentrations Lager Neue Bremm, in South West Saarbrücken, right at the border with France. It’s a concentration camp, (Lager is camp/emplacement/installation … More The Lager And The Hütte

Well, today probably could have gone a lot better. I’ll make this a short one. I took a tram a ways east to a hilly foresty area to see an old WW2 bunker that was used by the German Army and civilians. Got there and found it closed off with a sign saying you have … More Well That Didn’t Go As Planned…

Well Saarbrücken is a pretty nice city. A nice suburban town, right on the border with France, and so it has some French influence, as the two countries have always been close allies.

Well, today was the day I went to a new city, but there were a few things I discovered late in Trier, and wanted to do before I left Trier.

Seems an appropriate title for today. The other title I was considering was ‘I Took A Bath At The Baths’ Today started with a walk to the St. Paulinus Basilica on the far side of town.

I left Cochem this morning regretfully, and headed southwest on one of the most miserable trains rides I had ever been on – having to stand in in awkward position, in an area smaller than the size of a compact car, with 8 people, 3 bikes, and 6 large bags of luggage. Not fun. A … More Just Roman’ Around

It will literally punch you in the face with photons and you’ll see just how wrong you are. Watch this video, then continue down below:   I’ll just let the pictures do most of the talking. So what you just saw is the amazing view from the top of the Pinnerkreuz looking down into the … More Just When You Think Germany Can’t Get Any More Beautiful…

I will also possibly keeping this short. When I was in Bonn I stayed at a hotel that had internet, but for some reason my phone and laptop, along with other guests were not able to get internet. It could connect, but it just received no internet data. My phone was able to connect and … More Mountains And Valleys

I will keep this brief, because it was a short day, and I still have another post to do after this one. Stupid hotel in Bonn… I wanted to take it easy, so I got a late start and took a tram out of Bonn to the city of Konigswinter to go to a “SEA … More An Easy Day

Well, I went to go check out the Bonn Cathedral, which is a really cool, and massive Catholic Church. Sadly it is closed for renovations. I then continued on with my plans and took a long walk south east… well, relatively long walk down towards the big museum of Bonn, the “Haus der Geschichte Bonn”. … More East Germany vs. West Germany
