Im off on the bike to Germany again next week (3rd time this year), staying near the Mosel at Bernkastel Kues, mind you its about time for the Octoberfest kicking away so who knows where that will lead me to. Got to say Germany is a superb country to be in, the people are generally really friendly moreso if you make an effort and break the ice to speak. Even better in the pubs you get put on a long table to eat with total strangers so you get to socialise the german way. I speak a little german maybe understand a bit more than I am able to speak but after a short time ( and a few  s) - the language becomes easier to follow when your there. When I come home I forget most of it till I go back. Wonderful country,loads of history, great roads and scenery, nice people, good standard of living, brilliant christmas markets and localised culture its a superb European country overall. So got to agree with those in the know its one of the top places to live in Europe.
