Traveled to while it was still east and west

Bad Homburg Small city near Friedburg. April 2003.
We walked around in the pedestrian section and the castle. We had some choclate cake and tea for an afternoon snack.

Berlin I have had to show my passport to cross from east to west, and that same trip I was able to climb up onto the wall.
Outstanding zoo. The new architecture that has sprung up in the former 'no man's land' is abosolutely amazing.
Pergamon museum was as close as I will probably ever get to ancient Pergamon.

Dachau Concentration Camp.

Dessau Bauhaus. Summers of 90 and 01.

Dresden I saw dramatic changes and restorations in 2001 from when I was there just after the departure of the Soviet Union.

Dusseldorf Larger and more interesting than I had first thought. Summer 2001.

Frankfurt-am-Main Cathedral, Meir Museum, Bar Section, Remain old Section near Cathedral, Big Rip off city.

Friedburg Rahm's home while he serves in the Army.
I visited Rahm for a little over a week in April of 2003. Most of the time was spent in his city and on his base. It's a nice little city with one main street with many shops, bars and restaurants. At one end of the city there is a complete castle and at the other is Ray Barracks.

Leipzig

Limburg A small town northwest of Frankfurt. April 2003.
There is a colorful church located on top of a hill and partially connected to a castle. The AltStadt has some very interesting half timber houses and one of them had some very peculiar red statues on it's side.

Linderhof

Hameln Pied Piper Town, with clock and dancing figures.

Heidleburg Amazing castle ruins. April 2003.
Rahm drove us to Heidleburg, about 2 hours south of Friedburg. Rahm drove us up a mountain with some really nice 120 degree turns. Rahm drove us up to the Castle and I parallel parked the car. It was cold, especially in the shade, low 40s. We walked around the castle and then purchased tickets for a tour when we entered it. The tour was quite interesting. We learned the most recent damage was caused by a lightning bolt that started a fire that took several days to put out. The king though parties in the main hall where people drank liters of wine. The wine they drank came from a taxed percentage of the wine vineyard of the people. This wine the people gave usually was not of their good stock and we canÕt even image what a mixture of all these wines would taste like. These wines were stored ina giant keg in the lower level of the castle. I drove us down to the main level of the city where we parked and proceeded on foot into the pedestrain area of the old city. We decided that our lucnh should be a large meal so we found a tavern and had some steaks and beer. It was a rustic small little tavern on the street level. It had a small bar and few tables. We sat aorund and talked for long time and watched the scenerey. We bought some shot glasses as the temperature fell even more. We then couldnÕt find a bathroom so we decided to go back to the bar and figured it would be rude not to order anything so Rahm had another beer. I drove us home in just over an hour. At some point I drove 219 kilometers per hour (135.7 mph). This is the fastest I have ever driven. The rule on autobahn is that the signs posted are suggested speeds and that when an incident occurs over 120 kph youÕr no longer insured. Right after I hit my highest speed ever a Porsche pushed me out of the left lane and then another. I eventaully only caught up to them because of some light traffic in the left lane.

Kassel From here we visited many other cities in the area during our 9 nights.

Koblenz Castles, from here we toured well over a dozen different castles.
Burg Eltz was the most pleasant and secluded. It required a walk through the woods to get to.
Marksburg Castle tour is a must if you are interested in castles. It is a completely intact castle and has furniture, torture devices and weapons.

Koln/Cologne

Lahnstein Castle...

Leipzig

Mainz Always a pleasant end to my trips, and a chance to buy some Volmer train models.
It's been a good place to do some last minute shopping and to relax.
The Marc Chegaul windows create a magnificent blue lighting effect.
The casino in the Hilton along the river is fun too.

Munich A city I once thought was uninteresting but have now realized requires much more of my time. April 2003 and other trips.
The prehistoric museum contained human artifacts from 100 CE to 3000 BCE. The Glokenspiel is nice too, this time we were eating breakfast while it happened. The Haufbrauhaus is an insane place.

Nurenburg Summer of xxx and April 2003.
Rahm and I had dinner at a pizza place just around the corner from the main Platz in the old section.

Amsterdam No, I didn't smoke up, but I did see a sex shop on every single street. Pop also told me to get out of the car with the camera's since he had a hard time going into reverse at a canal's edge.

Italy

FlorenceI have to go back again. Saw a whole lot in about an hour when we stopped for lunch. We were driving from Venice to Rome.

Venice Probably my most favorite city. I couldn't live there since i couldn't have a car but there is no other city that I have been to where I would rather spend weeks walking, relaxing and eating. The canal does not smell, who ever says it does, should take a shower.

Bologna

Herculaneum

Milan

Mt Vesuvius Up the sky lift when I was 5, if you have been there recently and are wondering 'what ski lift', well it used to be there.

Pompeii

Ravenna

Rapallo

Rome I have spent weeks there and enjoyed every meal. One meal containing over a dozen different dishes, and that was just the antipasta. No idea how I fit the main course in after that.
If you happen to be insane enough to drive in Rome, do not look anywhere but in front while driving and whatever you do, don't blink.

Tolmezzo

Vatican City

Lichtenstein

Tiny.

Luxembourg

Tiny.

We went when I was 12 years old and couldn't get into the casino. Next time I go there I will break the bank.

Walked into Poland from Frankfurt, Germany, with my father and Grandfather, bought a couple pewter pieces, then ate dinner in Germany with a view of Poland. We had to walk in since out rental car was not permitted into Poland.

Russia

Moscow Stayed in the hotel (used in Beginning of movie 'The Saint') directly accross from Parliment (buildign that was shot up after the revolution), the hotel was also in the movie 'The Saint' and let me tell you that when he runs all the way to Red Square from the hotel, that in reality that is like 5 to 7 miles.

St.Peterburg Hermitage (my opinion is that it's collection is greater than the Louvre), winter palace, gun waving incident outside of our hotel, guard sleeping on couch with rifle in hand.
