It is horrific to realise how cruel humans can be - especially when you see the shoes, which are incredibly detailed, appear to be all genders and ages. Don’t think the Wiki page gives the true depravity of the actions. I understood that two people would be tied together, but only one shot. The seco...

Re: Where am I ?
Budapest is a favourite - wife’s parents left Hungary in 56, so we’ve been many times. Been fascinating watching the changes since the end of the communist era. A really powerful, poignant memorial that’s well worth visiting is the Shoes on the Danube on the side of the river just downstream from th...

Re: Where am I ?
Just realised it was 20+ years when I was last there :facepalm: Sure it won't have changed that much ;) If you’re there tomorrow evening, the area in front of the Rathaus/opposite the Opera used to be great. Loads of food/beer stalls, loads of picnic tables to enjoy the fare from said stalls, and, w...

Re: Where am I ?
If you get chance, try the Belvedere. Some Klimt, very unstuffy, to the point they were showing ‘pornography’ or mucky art the last time I was there.
Nice parks around it too.

Re: Thermal cookers?!
Beef cheeks - possibly the best ‘cut’ of beef. Obviously, when cooked appropriately.

Re: Thermal cookers?!
It works - if you have time and if you like slow cooking. I bought a purported modern equivalent - stew pot with an outer insulated outer pot. Sounded good, but I was disappointed with the level of insulation - or maybe my expectations were unrealistic. The principle is correct, just need to think i...

Re: Where am I ?
I was thinking of Nowty’s passing into Germany/Switzerland/Italy it could be Strasbourg or Mulhouse, though I wouldn’t describe either as a French town.
Then Basel, but it’s in Switzerland
Only reasonable sized perty town on a river I’m aware of is Colmar ?
