Right, I found my mouse, I may have (temporarily) fixed the boiler, I need to catch up on the posts. Here’s the last one from Cologne. 4th November 2022. “A European Must Visit” said Ron Pattinson in his Guide to Cologne, which sounds like a recommendation to me. Dave loved it too, and so did… Continue reading Top 10 Schnitzel & Kölsch Pubs – Brauhaus Päffgen

LOMMI’S
4th November 2022. On our last morning in Cologne we left the bags at TRYP and walked over the Hohenzollernbrücke to the east bank. I think we got our money’s worth from this budget Wyndham hotel outside the station, but I took a fistful of sweets to make sure. Mrs RM did some energetic walking… Continue reading LOMMI’S
STOOD BEFORE PETERS (BRAUHAUS)
“What are your favourite physical activities or exercises ?” asks Word Press this morning, somehow imagining me lost for inspiration to write about. The answer, clearly, is walking between pubs or other houses of social or cultural value, whatever they may be. Another 20,000 steps on Day 3 of the Cologne trip. 3rd November 2022.… Continue reading STOOD BEFORE PETERS (BRAUHAUS)
“Zwei Kolsch ?”
2nd November 2022. It’s tea time in Cologne. Let’s head to the Eigelstein Viertel (“long street with pub at the end“). Why head north of the hotel, when all the famous pubs are south ? To find a pub with a windmill on the sign, of course (and supermarkets with Milka chocolate afterwards). Yes, it’s… Continue reading “Zwei Kolsch ?”
FRÜH am Dom!
When I start typing these posts I get prompts. Last time it was something like “What’s your favourite animal?“, and now it’s “What bid events have taken place in your life over the past year?”. Well, nothing really. OK, I met the Southworths twice (2x). 1st November 2022. By the time we met up with… Continue reading FRÜH am Dom!
IN SEARCH OF KOLSCH
1st November 2022. As you’ll know from the obligatory map in the obligatory November stocktake we managed a bit of authentic tourism last month. I’d been eyeing a return to Germany for the first time since 2016 since the Covid restrictions eased, but it looked tricky to get away with a month of family duties… Continue reading IN SEARCH OF KOLSCH
LEMMY’S IN LUBECK
Beautiful, cultured, sophisticated Lubeck. Home to one of the best run of basic pubs since the Offerton crawl last year left Mrs RM in a state of shock. After four nights in a Danish Youth Hostel, my good lady went upmarket with this booking as prices dropped sharply in Germany. Even so, the Phoenix Hotel looked… Continue reading LEMMY’S IN LUBECK
