That made me giggle as well, if you are going to put on so much weight that you cant fit in an airplane seat then maybe an all inclusive cruise is the wrong holiday for you!! Thomas Cook should fly a different plane home with smaller seats, just to do all thier heads in. |

My folks have an African Grey Parrott who shouts my name at the top of his voice EVERY time the phone rings, this would be fine but I moved out 15 years ago!!!
He also shouts "bloody ironing" everytime my mother gets the ironing board out :mrgreen: |

Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

Right Mr W.
First watch this.... http://www.baden-baden.de/static/film/index.php?lang=en I have stayed in Baden Baden twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. I am not so hot on the surrounding area, but can find some tips at work when I return on Monday. If you elect to stay in the spa town of Baden Baden itself there is a great amount to see and do. It is certainly not a cheap place but you have the choice of the following: "Friedrichsbad" Roman Irish baths - 4 hours, with about 16 treatments (something for Mrs W) which is highly recommended and very good value. "Caracalla" spa - more family orientated, with awesome selection of saunas and really good value All details of the spas etc can be found here..... http://www.carasana.de/home/en/index.html The casino in Baden Baden is a one in a lifetime eperience even if you do not gamble, the place is stunning and regarded as one of the most beautiful casino's in the world. http://www.casino-baden-baden.de/ If you are luck and its not too difficult really, you may get a weekend where there is a special classical even on in the park in front of the Kulturhaus, or if you are very lucky and your visit co-incides with on of the big horse racing events you get the races (brilliant for kids) as well as a free plethora of treats in the evening also. If you know the dates a quick peek on the Baden Baden website will give you some hints. http://www.baden-baden.de/en/ As for hotels, well there are many, from budget (not spending any time there) to 5 star luxury. I took a girlfriend to stay at the "der Kliene Prinz" which is lovely. We had a champagne package with the a bottle of bubbly stuff in the room at arrival as well as with breakfast in bed the next morning. Included was a 7 course meal (excellent local, Allsace and international blend). The room was a little worn, but the quaintness of the place made up for it. Baden Baden itself is in the heart of the Black Forest and is truely international, no need to speak German here, 10 km in any direction a basic knowledge is advisable. On your PM you mentioned countryside and views etc, well even though you would be in the town itself you will not be disspointed. If you have a car and want to go a few kms the concierge at any hotel will tell you where to hire bikes and find trails through the imposing forest. Lovely place to visit. I have pointed out some of the high-end attractions here, however a cheaper hotel, a picnic in the park and a walk around a truely historic town will be a wonderful experience also (weather permitting). P.S. Personal restaurant recommendation: Medici http://www.medici.de/welcome.htm The Clintons, Bono, Nelson Mandela and King Juan Carlos of Spain have all dined at the top table here and it's well worth a few extra euro to eat here, if not have a wee tipple at the inexpensive bar. |
