Just north of my favourite wonderful, wonderful city is this town and castle.

Northern Europe and the castle was featured in a very famous movie from days long gone, alas!

That’s my Son there too

You are right on. They just remodeled and added a really nice restaurant. We've stayed at the Westin and the Sheraton before but we actually prefer KBH.

We loved Passau. I never expected to see this oversized orange monster parked on the street there.

We enjoyed Passau as well.

That car reminds me of the time I saw a Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am rumbling down the streets of a village just miles from the DMZ in Korea. Totally out of place.

It's not like either of those classics, but I wasn't expecting to see this on a trip of mine. Probably not enough of the surroundings are visible for location guessing…

Right continent, but that's probably all that was obvious from the photo… Shinjuku!

Definitely Mykonos. You can see the marble fish cutting table near the centre of the photo. Here's a close-up.

I was there a few years back. And the weather was sunny and clear sky.
Had an amasing view from up there :-)

Kronborg Castle in Helsingør in Denmark. My home country.
Home of Holger the dane who comes to our rescue in case Denmark is about to be run over....or so the story goes :-)

I actually attended a theater show in that place a few years back. Of course with the tale of Hamlet by Shakespeare
