It was also the first "big" vacation my boyfriend and I took as a couple, so it was great to create these awesome memories with him.

I love Bavaria. I used to spend a decent amount of time in Garmisch and Grafenwoehr when I was stationed in Europe. Garmisch is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

I would like to live in a town like this, but I kind of need my "city life", too. :) I, at least, need easy access (meaning, not a day's drive away) to the city. :) What is the closest city to Lincoln? Isn't it Nottingham? If I would end up in a town like this (if not exactly this one :) ), I would then have to decide whether I would want to live in a town near a big city (which I always lean towards) or a small city. Oh, decisions, decisions! :D .....

Technically, Lady W, any place in UK that has a cathedral is a city - even St Davids in west Wales which is smaller than the village I live in is a city because of the cathedral!

If you mean near a city in the sense of metropolis, you might like York - mediaeval city, black and white houses, loads of atmosphere but only a short train ride from Leeds, which is not the mucky place it used to be, much cleaned up and modernised, as are Manchester, Liverpool and Brumigen. Lincoln is not too far from Nottingham or Sheffield, but I'm not sure these two have had the sort of urban regeneration those others have.

Oh, boy, is that corny! :D You know what? I would do the SAME thing!!! :p

Its about 40 mins by train from Nottingham. and not that far from Sheffield. Probably 1-2 hours from London. And its technically a city. I only showed you pics of steep hill and the square up by the castle and the Cathedral.:D

Did you walk up to the top of the Rathaus tower? I got such a kick out of how the stairs got smaller and smaller, and more and more steep!

I'm envious! Is it very warm right now?
The majority of my time was spent in and around Füssen and it was WARM.

Bleh, it's cold over by me, too. It sure doesn't feel like it's going to be June next week.
I didn't make it to Regensburg, but we did spend a few nights in Ingolstadt! (Which looked sort of near.)
I looked up photos of Regensburg, and it looks gorgeous.

Ah yes, Ingolstadt...that is pretty near.....it's a pitty that you didn't make it to regensburg....the next time you gotta come here :)
By the way...where are you from?

ps: damn cold....i want to return to italy where the people are already enjoying summertime .....:(

I would like to be able to go to sleep but seems like an impossible task these days.

I would go to the Pyrenees Mountains. I first fell in love with the Great Pyrenees dog, and in doing reseach on its native homeland, I became enamored with those mountains.

I live in the northern U.S. The weather can NOT make up its mind. :/
Next time I DO hope I can make it to Regensburg. (Or Italy - to soak up some summer!)

I never knew that. That is quite interesting. :)

Thanks for the info. Yes, I suppose I am much more interested in a metropolis. I have to begin to do some serious thinking about what I want to do and where to go again (my plans had to be put on hold more than once and then I just lost track of eveything that I had in mind). So, yes, a big thanks. :D

Well, I know of Lincoln. I don't know it. I make sense, right? I am never quite sure about what I say! :p I always just thought it was a bigger town, but not quite a city. I guess I should know all the facts before I speak, huh? ;) Well, now that I have the cathedral fact to help me, and I have the means to look up an estimate of the city's population, I think I will be able to determine what is what now! :D

By the way, Niamh, I love your new avatar! Too cute! :D

I would go to Cuba, Prague or Greece.

heyyyy....eventually the summer has made it up to regensburg and it's a nice warm and sunny day...if you feel like it jump over :P :) and soak up some summer here :)

Florence, for the Caponi Library, though I don't know if that's open to the public. I love Dante lol.

If it to stay continuously. The answer is a definite Crail.

Regarding a place to visit, recently I have become somewhat desirous to visit Greenland for some strange reason I can not figure out.
