The passport still has a bit of room for a few more stamps George!
I didn't take many photos at the Oberwolfach meet, I think I was still shaking too much from the drive over the mountain from our hotel! :lol: It was a bit of a hairy-scary 15km through dense forest on a single track road with VERY steep drops. And lots of tracks running off in all directions, with no signposts... needless to say we got lost a couple of times. But that's all part of the big adventure... :wink:

Terrible.
Would be interesting to know who was responsible.
The guy i was talking to was distraught,they had twisted his semaphores like corkscrews.
It was obviously done in malice,there was no financial reward,the things were destroyed.

Can anyone recommend any hotels in or around Bad Camberg? I've looked at a few on the internet but they all tell me they're full over that weekend... :(
Posted by: zelensis61 - 21 May 2010 17:46:20
Search for "unterkunfte " ferienwohnung, gastezimmer and you will find some houses...
Maybe when it is full, you have to go a bit further away if you have a car with you, that should not be a problem.

greetings from california!
my husband and i are going to be shipping our restored 67 westy for the bad camberg show. is there a schedule available to view? i understand that hotels are going to be hard to find, we will probably crash in the bus. seeing some of the posts it seems like that would be a good idea. does it happen often that buses are disturbed?
i grew up in hanau and can't wait to visit again, my husband has never been and i'm sure he is getting sick of me telling him all the cool things i did while growing up.
look forward to hearing any info on the show.

Posted by: heb623 - 13 September 2010 07:39:27
Because the weather was nice yesterday and because I was bored doing nothing I decided to go to Bad Camberg to check out once more the hotel we are staying in during B.C. 2011!
All I can tell you is that all the rooms I asked are registrated on my name now!:shock:
Nearly cant wait till 2011!
Maybe I am getting more bored till than so I go back there to try out the different styles of steak they serve there!!!
And specially for J & D good news: the hotel is also serving vegetarian food!
I stayed in that hotel during B.C.1983, 1987, 1991, 1995 and 2003!:shock:
After being in other hotels during B.C. 1999, 2007 I deceided to go back to my first choice!!!:wink:
When I look these dates I realise I'm getting old!!!:oops:
:twisted: ET
ps1: So J & D, George, Josche, Jorik and Maarten we are in!!!
ps2: In the hotel are stil rooms available so when you need a room tell me!

Assuming (rashly!) that I get my car back by then, I could probably pick one person up from the station in Frankfurt on Friday pm.
