Germany

.....My stay in France was to be followed by exciting 8 days in Germany. I would like to mention here, that it is a way easier to travel within Europe by means of public transportation than in the USA, as a dense network of high-speed trains, coach services aircrafts are to be found. I took the Thalys high speed train from Paris to Cologne, which allowed me to enjoy the marvellous landscapes of France and Belgium. Germany has a lot to offer. History, modern architecture and again, great cuisine. During my week in Germany , I saw 5 different cities, including, Cologne, Bonn, Francfort, Nuernberg and Munich. Every city boasts of its own charm, history and architecture, not forgetting the local gastronomy specialities, such as beer, Weisswurst and Schweinsbraten.

As I also wanted to travel through the Alps -  this was the occasion to do it....(see my next experience - Italy)
