The Blogger Dashboard, which you use to compose and edit the text, sometimes has a habit of swapping the odd line of text around, particularly when you add photos. It's not always the friendliest format to work in; either that or I've been doing it wrong for the past 10 years!<br /><br />"Buger Hof" can be read as "Bugger off", in best colloquial English parlance. Hence the amusement for us Brits. A pleasant enough place, although the woman sitting out on the balcony, smoking a cigarette, when we arrived wasn't exactly the friendliest of souls. (Perhaps she wasn't best pleased at having to fetch us a beer each?)<br /><br />Pleased to hear that I've tempted you to visit Bamberg, and whilst eight hours drive is still a fair distance, I'm sure that compared to North American distances, it's nothing.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-67465590691860242782018-05-27T23:35:42.170+01:002018-05-27T23:35:42.170+01:00"(or walking, if you’re fit enough), in order..."(or walking, if you’re fit enough), in order to spend a few hours there."<br /><br />43 minutes from the train station according to Google. If the weather was nice that would be ideal. (thumbs up)<br /><br />"Much to son Matthew’s annoyance, I sometimes refer to the pub as Gryffindor, after the Harry Potter novels."<br /><br />LOL. Given enough time, I would have thought of that as well. :)<br /><br />"Like many Brits, we found the name of this establishment highly amusing,"<br /><br />Ok, I'll bite (and apologies ahead of time). Is it because it reminds you of burgers, or (wait for it), of boogers. ;)<br /><br />"definitely not beer garden weather!"<br /><br />You haven't been to the Yukon. (j/k) (LOL)<br /><br />"if you ever find yourself in Bamberg"<br /><br />Thanks to your posts, it's moved up on my to-do list. :)<br /><br />As I mentioned before, there is a chance of our youngest going to Germany with his g/f for her Masters degree. If that works out, my wife and I will definitely head over there. <br /><br />If not, I may try to talk my brother into taking me the next time I visit him (it's under 8 hours drive from where he lives in France).<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PS - "and is very popular on Altenburg castle, on the other side, right on the crest of the hill." and "warm summer evenings"<br /><br />I think that bit needs to be revised... a bit. ;)<br /><br />"you can see right across the valley to the picturesque, old"<br /><br />See above. These bits got mixed up somehow.Russtovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.com
