A Comfort(able) Hotel in Eisenach

adjacent. I wouldn't say the staff were particularly multi-lingual, but with my best phrase-book style German and her slightly better English, we didn't have any major problems understanding one another. I can't say the same about finding our room though. The hotel is a traditional motel-style affair with a combination of three, 2 or 3 storey buildings around a courtyard. The trouble was that there were no room numbers on the outside of the buildings and consequently there was no way of knowing which building our room was in. Surprise, surprise. Our room was at the end of the last corridor of the last building we looked in. The room was decorated in pastel shades with beechwood furniture and finishings. The decor seemed recently done and everything was fresh and clean. There were two firm and comfortable twin beds with crisp, white linen ...

Review of Comfort Hotel, Eisenach

Veron, Verona, wherefore art thou Verona

Advantages: Beautiful City, lots to see & do
Disadvantages: None

with theatre & amphitheatre. The city goes back much further than the Romans though, and the oldest recorded settlement here was in the 2nd Centenary BC. The city now follows the Roman street plan, so it is very easy to find your way around.

Review of Verona (Italy)

Where for art thou Verona

Advantages: A beautiful city with lots to offer
Disadvantages: Italy itself can be a little expensive

During my recent holiday to Italy Verona was one of the cities that I visited. Verona is a city in Northern Italy not far from Lake Garda. Due to its geographical position the city has frequently flooded in the past and as you travel round the city this can be noted by water markings on bridges and walls. Verona was also the town that Julius Caesar visited for his relaxing stays and features strongly in the travel diaries of Goethe. Furthermore Verona is also the town were Dante wrote the second part of his 'Divine Comedy'. Despite all of this however Verona is probably most famous for being the setting for William Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. So what can you do in Verona? Verona due to its historical heritage has a great many tourist attractions that draw in the crowds. These attractions include The Arena ...
