Mechelen is a really nice place with lots to seeMykel wrote:A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you on here as well, wherever you may be. It has been a wonderful year with many great events bringing us together from all over Europe. Especially when Kjeld turns up with a boot full of Danish beer.
And rumour has it this will go on in 2016 …

It's not so much where we go Adrian, it's catching up with great friends somewhere, and somewhere easy for most to get to.adrianclifford wrote:True but over 10 years I think I've seen every turning in the city, how about somewhere completely new if we are to fly there ?
Berlin (when I was last there the wall was still up), Budapest, Warsaw/Krakow, Talinn immediately spring to mind as places on the "to visit" list.
(and yes I've already been there twice, but would really like to go again at Christ,as time ) Snow everywhere, a bit of mist coming up from the Vltava over the Charles Bridge, medieval street singers, you are going back centuries. Merry Christmas to you bothKjeld Andersen wrote:Hi, and Merry Christmas,
Mykel, good to know you like Danish beers
Next time we meet up, i might have a boot full of these,
and then it would be fun. They taste so NICE, and are
strong, ohh, that Christmas feeling.
Have a nice Christmas all of you, and hope to see
some of you Next year.
Cheeeeers,
Elèn & Kjeld

Recent Register Tours have been confined to weekend whislestop trips to Northern Europe with a driving/ferry: partying ratio of about 3+:1 whilst we look for a ratio of 1:15-20 (or more).
For the last 14 years we have taken a winter trip to the Swiss Alps after having lived in Basel for 4 years before retiring.
Some may remember "The Natter that Matters" whereby a venue was selected in Europe for a Natter.
Would there be any Interest in a "Natter" in Lauterbrunnen, south of Interlaken albeit we may have to slip to April/May as we have a "Moving House" plan as well.
Fly Zurich and Train or MGFs Welcome.

I did have a look Adrian, how about Regensburg? One of the nicest Christmas markets inside the Thurn & Taxis palace, which is the largest inhabited palace in Europe (bigger than Buckingham Palace). It's a one and a half hour trip by train from Munich airport.adrianclifford wrote:True, Dawn and I loved Prague when we went (in the winter) but we've been there so I'd love somewhere new.
Maybe a Bavarian Christmas market or the Oktoberfest in Munchen ?

Meeting on Friday, enjoy the city on Saturday, then off to Munich’s Tierpark Hellabrunn on Sunday.
What do you all think?
Apart from being close enough to easily drive to, even from the UK, 2 things in Mechelen's favour that you have probably yet to experience Adrian :-adrianclifford wrote:True but over 10 years I think I've seen every turning in the city, how about somewhere completely new if we are to fly there ?
