Some historic cities take better care of themselves than others. Hannover is one of the others.
The traditional guess-the-city view-from-hotel-window post.
New travel video in the making (despite the weather). Expect something in the next two or three weeks. Until then, guess away!
German village festivals have the best home-made cakes.
In case you've been watching the news about flooding in Germany: I'm not in the affected area, which is further south, around the Danube. We've just had a fair amount of rain, nothing more.

What a stupid sensationalist woke libtard I am, with my stupid sensationalist woke libtard fake news.
This morning I found in the moderation queue this comment on a video about a truck driver that got stuck trying to drive on a cycle path. Obviously, suggesting people pay attention to road signs is basically just trying to turn Germany into a caliphate.
