Ok to start with a couple more pix from Basel, by the old paper mill

And along the riverside

And just a nicely blinged building.

Hanspeter and I went up to Weissenstein above Solothurn in a gondola

step 2

Fairly bleak up there, would usually have been covered in snow

And down below the fog we came up out of


See,I was there


They have signs for folk like Hanspeter and Katrin that fly around these places

Anyway I headed back to Mainz and went to Frankfurt with Birgit and checked out the Christmas markets etc, I have never really had a look around Frankfurt before.


The shopping mall that should be called Vortex


Stayed another night in Mainz with Guido, now I really wonder how this looks after snow.

Have gone to Munich now, this looked great but visually challenged me

And not sure why this has become a Michael Jackson memorial

Tempted by this golden rose

And the Bavarian beer business …


Even managed to go for a run today, having trouble believing that I ran that fast though

And early morning tomorrow morning to get to the airport and meet the Frauen
