It is Wednesday night as I write this and there is unfortunately nothing terribly exciting (although I guess that is a relative term) to report.<br /><br />Weimar was a town like so many of the other smaller ones we have stopped in whilst in Germany. The only exception was the accommodation we had there. So far we have stayed at basic and clean 3 star hotels. Our travel agent in Sydney had trouble with our booking in Weimar before we left and to make up for it she put us up in a 5 star hotel. Mel and I being the Princesses that we are thought this was wonderful. The hotel was very swanky and as we checked in I began to wish that I had washed my hair that morning. We spent the afternoon walking around the town and had hot chocolates (mine was a chilli one and Mel's was a truffle one) at a Viennese coffee house. Yum!

Weimar was a town like so many of the other smaller ones we have stopped in whilst in Germany. The only exception was the accommodation we had there. So far we have stayed at basic and clean 3 star hotels. Our travel agent in Sydney had trouble with our booking in Weimar before we left and to make up for it she put us up in a 5 star hotel. Mel and I being the Princesses that we are thought this was wonderful. The hotel was very swanky and as we checked in I began to wish that I had washed my hair that morning.

It was the first hotel that we have stayed at that had a gym so I was up a at a reasonably early time the next morning to try out the facilities. Whilst I would not say I was 'buff' before I went away (in fact, I don't think I have ever been buff) I miss not going to the gym. I was frightened to get on to the treadmill incase whatever level of fitness I had managed to get myself into before I went away had vanished. It was ok though (I can hear you all sigh with relief), whilst not in peak condition (not like dad who is an FTA... finely tuned athlete) it could have been much worse. Now I haer you all ask why do I need to wait for a gym and a treadmill to go for a run? Why do I not go and run outside like normal people? My response to that is our days are generally full with either train travel or sightseeing and it is too cold to go in the morning or at night. That is my excuse anyway.

It was a 4hr train ride to Berlin. The train travel bothers neither Mel or I. The trains are more than comfortable and with our endless supply of books, our travel journal writings, our IPOD and crazy girly conversations we are quite ...
