Excellent, thanks Juergen, very kind of you to take the time and
trouble. My wife (German teacher) is taking 8 15-year olds for 3 days,
and I'm roped in as the requisite 'male adult'. I don't know how many
attractions we'll have time for - but at least I aim to ensure we can
always find our way back to the youth hostel!

05:00 start tomorrow...
