Mike in Wedel, Germany - 2009/04/26

A couple of places I didn't enter...

It was nine in the morning, but a few crusty, old locals were warming the stools and bending their elbows. I wonder if they filled-out all the paperwork and payed to fees to license that name from 20th Century Fox.


No, I didn't "have it my way" at this establishment. This Burger King is only a few hundred meters from McDonald's.

Here's a great place for eating and drinking. The sign out front says, "Bier und Wein Comptoir" (Beer and Wine Bar). Not a lot of imagination behind that but, hey, I drink at a bar with the address as part of the name

Regardless of the silly name, the kitchen produces very tasty food and the bar offers more than a dozen varieties of draft beer.

This is good to know, if you happen to drive a tank to work.

I looked it up; this sign is to inform NATO troops of bridge weight limits.

Mike in Wedel, Germany - 2009/04/19

I'm in Germany for a couple of weeks on business; here are a few snapshots


My hotel in Wedel. It's a nice place; stay there if you visit the greater Hamburg Area. The Blum family (yes, it's a family operation) made me feel as if this was my "home away from home."

I don't know if this traffic sign is a warning, or a prediction.



Some things can't be avoided, no matter how far one travels. This establishment is next to the large shopping mall next to the Altona railway station.
