More pix from the trip.....Aachen




Well, we're still a little jet lagged but getting better all the time. I think I'm only 2 time zones out of sync now and hopefully will be back to normal by tomorrow.

So.....here are more photos from the trip......

Our first night we stayed in Aachen. Aachen is about 40 miles west of Cologne/Bonn and is on the border of Germany, Belgium and France. The pictures were taken at the Hotel Buschausen where we stayed. We had dinner on the patio, notice that there aren't (yet!) any beers on the table.
This hotel had several traits in common with all our accommodations on the trip: the room was spotlessly clean; the beds did not have sheets and blankets but instead a feather bed with a crisply ironed duvet cover; the pillows were large, square and down filled; and none of the hotels provided washcloths. I had read that German hotels were BYOW and we found it to be true. Some places were also BYOS (soap). Oh! Also, the double beds are two twin mattresses on a full size frame.
