Advantages: tasty, real chunks of fruit Disadvantages: slightly more pricy than other jams
...if not, then get out now and go buy some of this stuff for the kids!
I never really used to eat jam - possibly because the stuff I used to be given bore little or no resemblance to the fruit that it was supposed to represent. This period of being staunchly anti-jam came to an abrupt end, however, when I was persuaded to try Bonne Maman for the first time: the strawberry flavour being the one that we usually buy.
The jar itself persuaded me that this was going to be decent jam. The 370g glass jar comes complete with red and white checked lid - obviously trying to look authentically handmade, although without the cloth covering the top, for health and safety reasons... This impression of being homemade is continued in the labelling - "Bonne Maman Strawberry Conserve" on the front is written, seemingly, in someone's handwriting ...

Advantages: Nice shops, many museums, various trips Disadvantages: Lacking in something, I'm just not sure what
The former capital of Germany, Bonn is somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for a while, but especially since I went to Berlin, the new capital, in a compare and contrast sort of way. I only had 28 hours in the city, but I still saw a fair bit.
One think I would recommend that you do immediately on arrival is to get hold of a Welcome Card. These start at 9 Euros for one person for 24 hours, but ones for longer periods, or for groups and families are also available. The cards offer unlimited use of public transport in and around the city, and free entry to almost all the museums, making them very good value, even for those, such as myself, who qualify for concessionary admissions in most places. They also offer reductions on boat trips, city tours, accommodation at some hotels and various other freebies. Through the rest of the op, I ...

Advantages: Nice internal surroundings, friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices Disadvantages: In the middle of nowhere unless you need the airport
Just before the end of 2000, a friend and I took a whistle-stop tour to Cologne to visit the Christmas markets, actually the coach trip was probably longer than the stay, but for what we paid you wouldn't really fault it.
I can recommend the Christmas markets, but be prepared to be crushed and cold, ensure you have your credit and get yourself a good pair of comfortable walking shoes before you leave, as believe me you will need them.
Included in the trip (£79 each) was two nights in the Holiday Inn at Bonn/Cologne Airport, situated on a busy dual carriageway, totally inaccessible by foot.
The reception area was remnant of many four star hotels in the UK, and the seating areas, public facilities and corridors were modern, clean and well signposted (in a couple of languages including English), everything, as I have come to ...
