Hi Patty,
I don't think I knew you went to Europe in 1974. I'd love to hear the details of the trip when we get back. You would really love Berlin. You and Lois should plan a trip. The metro is amazing and the Germans are always on time.

Hello Mildred and Hank
We have our laptop with us. In the evening after we have had a full day of exploring we make a few notes. It makes it easy to write the blog. We took the train to Munich today so now we explore the south. Glad you are following along and thanks for keeping in touch.

Art, architecture and yummy treats!
I love Berlin, so I'm thrilled that you got to bounce around it with great explorations and gorgeous photos. I love that you arrived there by way of Myanmar (visas). Surprises and unexpected detours--some of the best parts of travel!

Surprises and unexpected detours

We do love Germany
Spent the day on the train from Berlin to Munich. Having a fine time. I didn't realize you came here on the honeymoon. I do remember a few of your European stories....not wanting to pay for the restroom and such. Keep in touch.

Ministry of Elves
I've got a roommate in my hostel dorm from Iceland and have told him all about you two. He was excited that you visited so many of his great sites. Also told me that there's a Minister of Elves in the govt that checks out new building sites with locals to make sure they don't interfere with known elf spots! So all those fairy tales you've been hearing are true!

I believe it
We heard so many stories about the elves and trolls. you gotta watch out. Great history. We were so glad we won't to the western fjords because so few people go there.

Following you from Panarea
Here we sit on the Island of Panarea in the Aeolian Islands off of Sicily. Beautiful scenery, people and weather. Not much to see of historical value besides the Archeological Museum in Lipari (on the Island of Lipari) which was very nice. This enforced relaxation is awesome and unusual for us. We go to Sicily on Saturday and will spend the following 10 days seeing all the sights so we'll be on the go and the Island interlude will be just a lovely memory . Always love your posts.....looking forward to Berlin. Sonja

Hello Sonja
Your climate is a bit warmer than ours. I'm glad you are moving to Sicily soon. That is a place I dream of going and look forward to hearing your impressions. Forced relaxation is a great idea.

Trying again
Im not sure if my last comment got through so I'll try again. The pedestrians should be the ones wearing the helmets in Copenhagen as for airbnb, we've been using it extensively all year, in fact we bunked down right now in a magnificent apartment in Annecy for a fraction of the price of equivalent hotels. The prices on this site are the attraction. The downside is what you've already touched on, communication and having someone to actually in when you arrive, particularly if your arrival time is not set in stone, which it rarely is. Make sure to read the reviews so you can read between the lines of the owner's spin.

Hello again
I assume you received our response but just in case. I appreciate your views on airbnb. The apartment we are currently in Berlin is excellent. Far better than the one in Copenhagen. I think this is an excellent way to have that home feeling and live in a neighborhood instead of in the middle of the tourist crap. We are very happy with this decision. Thanks for the feedback as we are still very new at this. We will continue to utilize this. Much cheaper than hotels. As you say, communication and the key hand off are the bigger issues.

Quite interesting to read about your rental, sight unseen, experience. Asalways, i love the detail that you provide in these blogs. Can anyone tell me if I can email this message to a mutual friend of Merry Jo and mine. I tried. She may not want to sign up for the blog, but she really would enjoy reading this.

I reckon the pedestrians should have to wear helmets in Copenhagen. As for airbnb, we've been using them all over the place. We are actually in a sensational apartment in the old town of Annecy right now. The major issue we find is what you pointed out, communication and having someone to let you in on arrival, particularly as we aren't carrying a phone. However there are so many positive trade offs, most importantly price. Read the reviews carefully and then you should be able to read between the lines of the owners spin. Keep having fun

lol
Loved your reaction to Plymouth Rock. When I was a kid we would hang around it and listen to similiar comments from tourists who had driven from Iowa or other distant places. I had the same reactions when visiting The Alamo- especially when learning that most of those who fought were mercenaries from NH, MA, or Germany. Loved your blogs and pics. Carolyn

Hello Carolyn
So good to hear from you again. Yes, it is funny when we hear about something and then go see it and wonder what the big deal is. At least with Plymouth rock it used to be bigger before people chipped pieces off of it. Agree about the Alamo. Where will your travels take you next?

Germany
Hi guys, As you may recall MJ, I went to Munich and surrounding countryside along with Vienna in 1974. It was beautiful! Breathtaking even. I have always hoped to go back. Berlin is on my bucket list also. I can't wait to hear of your travels there. Take care and have fun. Love
