 Be prepared of the floods of
the Danube ! by globetrott
Click on my picture and take a look at these markings at the wall of the old townhall and compare them with the persons standing in front of it.
In 2002 the flood was a lot higher than 2,5 meters above street-level. In 1954 it was even one meter higher than that !
Be careful, when parking your car in Passau and taking a cruiseship down the Danube or biking to Vienna.The flood may easily come within a few hours ! Leave a Comment

 M/S Mozart docked in Passau by globetrott
I really cannot understand, why this popular side-walk does not have a fence at all !
On my picture : M/S Mozart , a cruiseship with mainly german passengers. The giant windows in front are of the indoor-swimmingpool. Just imagine swimming in the pool and watching the beautiful landscape passing by... Leave a Comment

If, like me, you understand a little German from your school days, don't go to Bavaria expecting to understand anything.
The Bavarians pride themselves on speaking a dialect that only they understand. This excludes not only people from abroad but those from the rest of Germany too.
I honestly thought that I would be able to understand the topic of a conversation even if I could not understand the detail. Wrong. I understood not a thing.
An example would be "Ich sage" which, in the Bavarian dialect becomes phonetically "ee sog" although it is spelt the same when written.
Even basics like numbers do not escape the Bavarian dialect treatment. "Zwanzig" becomes "Zwonske".
Forget your 'O' level "Hochdeutsche" German and start learning a completely new language. Leave a Comment

Although is sounds odd - remember that most things are closed on Sundays in Germany. We tried to find a bakery open for breakfast on a Sunday morning and no luck! Some of the coffee houses are open, and the restaurants will open after 1pm - but forget about shops or the malls. Leave a Comment

In some of the shopping area there are cobblestone streets...which are ankle killers so wear comfortable shoes.
