Danke, Klaus-Peter,

When next I re-visit (lived in Munster, Osnabruck, Hameln and Herford- guess what job!), I will let you know!

If I didn't live in Devon, I'd like to live in Germany.

Yes, Neuschwanstein is a bit OTT, but it is magnificent- saw it first through the clouds after swimming in the lake after breaking the ice, and thought my brain had finally given up!

Lovely place, lovely people, lovely beer (and food)...
