We are back in Monschau this week as Aachen is totally booked out (unless you want to pay 200 - 400 euros a night for a hotel!) as they have a world championship show jumping event on for the next 2 weeks. So its a change from a busy little city to a small village full of Germans on romantic weekends away, and oldies on busses getting shipped in for some schnitzel and a small glass of beer followed by purchasing some small ceramic mugs that say Monschau and then shipped out again. Oh yeh, and accompanied by their dog which normally range in sizes from handbag size to 'is it really a dog or a horse' size.
Actually that reminds me to mention a couple of other things which are different to that which we are used to in Australia:
- Dogs can go everwhere including restaurants
- People seem to have no concept that flies carry disease. If you go in to a bakery on a warm day, there are flies buzzing around the pre-made salad rolls. So choose one that doesnt have any flies on it and pretend that the flies haven't been on your roll!
