All at Sea

I have a feeling we've seen this before but here goes, an LP I saw in a charity shop.

Just what are those model ships on the sleeve?

Lazing in Limburg

 Our penultimate stop on our Deutschland tour is Limburg an der Lahn in the state of Hessen.

Like many German towns it's chocolate box quaint with fairy-tale charm.

Limberg is a tourist hot-spot and my schnapps of the old town will attests to that. There must be ten thousand outdoor seats at the myriad eateries.

Our one evening here, it's 30 degrees in the shade. The predicted thunderstorms should cool us all off.

The 7 deadly sins!

Tomorrow, our final Übernachtungen, Königswinter, erstwhile home of one John Le Carré.

Two hours by Deutsche Bahn.

Arto's Ultraman

I bought this attractive Chinese bootleg Ultraman / Kamen Rider 12 figure set, which my collector friend had brought from Malasia in the early 2000's. The card is huge, 43 x 32 cm!

Anyone else got Ultraman?

Ich bin ein Frankfurter

 Mostly train travel today as we chew up some miles to get back to our starting point in the Rühr Gebiet.

Six hours in total to go across from upper Bavaria to the east of neighbouring Hessen.

Just changed trains in the megopolis that is Frankfurt. Our connection was on platform 24. Yep, the Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof is massive.

Anyone been?

Shelf Life

 These books caught my monstrous eye.

I'm pretty sure that's the fire demon from Night of the Demon! (Curse of ... In the US)

Is it a film you like?

I do like the author of this book tho, Gary Brandner. The Howling was terrific, book and film. Do you agree?

I realised when I saw this that Vampire Express is one of those self-guided adventures, where there are multiple scenarios the reader can choose.

I e never read anything like that. Have you? 

The Flayed Men from the Thirty Years War

 The final schnapps of Kronach.

A tardis-like confessional. Room for multiplying sins.

The ritual was my personal pet-hate as a kid.

The witches walkway. The end meant the tower and ... The end.

Copper gargoyle.

Ubiquitous holies.

The old town meat store.

The town column with its two flayed heroes holding their own skins after being boiled alive by the town's beseigers.

January 6th chalkings are everywhere. C,M,B are the Three Kings' initials.

The witches tower. Next stop, a fire.

A grotto

The town ossuary

Old schools

Brown trout

Egyptian geese.

Prößt!
