Europe Summer 2013

I believe I have made a decision about where I am going after my month in the apartment in Weimar and Bamberg.  I am definitely ending the summer in Vienna.  I have already booked and received confirmation on my room at the Konig von Ungarn Hotel.  This is the only place to stay in Vienna.  It is ideally located down the side street behind stephans Dom on Schuler Strasse.  The building and the lobby are beautiful and the service can not be beat.
   But before Vienna I think I am going to go to Prague for 3 nights and then Brno for 3 nights.  I have been to Prague before but I have never been anywhere else in the Czech Republic.  So here we go,  I think I have decided on hotels but have not booked antyhing yet.  When I do we will talk more.

Summer '13 Mar. 8,2013

     I have made some plans for the summer.  I am beginning the summer in Berlin.  I just booked my room at the Hilton.  I've stayed at 2 other hotels in Berlin and as far as I am concerned this is the best and the best value for the money, which is about half of what you would pay for a room in Manhatten at a hotel of much less quality.  The Berlin Hilton is ideally located on Gendarmenmarkt.  Two of the best things are the little beer kiosk across the street on the corner of Gendarmenmarkt and the Lowenbrau beerhouse around the corner and up the street.  Both places are great on a warm afternoon or evening for a good beer and some peace and quiet.
     After Berlin I am going to the apartment in beliebte Weimar for two and a half weeks then I am off to a new apartment in Bamberg.  The one I had last summer was taken so I found a new one from "Live Like a German".  It costs more, a lot more, than last year but it is still less than a hotel.  And since I can't go away over Spring Break I can spend that money on this.
