Weekend Pad

This will be our home – away from home, away from home for the long weekend while we explore Budapest.  So far our impressions are pretty good and we are looking forward to staying here and sampling the breakfast tomorrow morning, and each morning after that.   We are about 10 minute walk away from […]

Hotel au Lion

This is  our little hotel we stayed at in Ribeauvillé in Alsace France over the weekend.  After lowering the bar significantly in London at Hotel Dumpshire this was not only a well deserved and great treat but a nice surprise.  The hotel is located on a quiet square with a fountain just about in the middle […]

Beaune

Time To Rest

  After a long drive we stopped  for the night at this little place.  What can be said about it – it was clean, cheap and very pleasant.  I think the rooms were €30.00 per night and the breakfast was about €2.50 each.  We promptly ordered 5 breakfasts for the 4 of us in the […]
