We did actually return home!

The hotel in Tittisee was very comfortable and we enjoyed our wanders through the town. This time we even took a boat trip on the Lake - most pleasant. Then onwards to Stuttgart where we spent several days with Lutzi and Claus.Tony has perfected the art of driving around fountains in the middle of the town and finding lost hire car offices. A highlight of this part of our trip was visiting the Hamburg Fish market which visits Stuttgart on a regular basis - lots of interesting food.

Our final German destination was Frankfurt which turned out to be very different to expectations. We used the public transport network, enjoyed the historical buildings and the food and wondered at the craziness of hundreds of Mexicans competing in a bike race.

UPGRADE! - a business class flight from Frankfurt to Dubai. Very nice indeed. Dubai was hot and the air was very thick. However we wandered miles, rode the bus, the train and even used a taxi when the going got very hot indeed. I loved the malls, the old Arab house and the fountains. I am sure the architecture would have been good too if only the air had been cleaner.

And then it was all over - time to fly home. Many thousands of pictures await sorting and editing and maybe one day I'll scrapbook the lot.
