I did my swimming lessons at Albert Ave. The swimming teacher was some old biddy, don't remember her name. We also had the Cubs Swimming Gala in one of the indoor pools. Ah, the memories. Other than the lessons didn't really go there much as South Hunsley had/has a great pool so was always there.
I remember that sweet shop. I used to swim with the Olympic swimming club in Albert Ave. The coach was a short squat fella who looked like he'd sink if he went in the water!
Pretty strict pool attendants in them days
A bit far maybe but a trip here would have been good
Agree and saw lots of bauhaus stuff in the Pinakothek der Moderne, also saw Rudolph Diesels first engine, and Adolph's Fuhrerbau, too much to see didnt even get to Bayerns stadium. Amazed how many of the locals wore lederhosen and how many shops sold it, their very traditional oompah culture was very evident.
Yes. You won't be the first.
You find in Germany the Berliners think the Bavarians weird and the Bavarians think the Berliners are somewhat decadent ( read perverted) bathing naked in a public park in summer etc . Did a road trip to Munich the massive wide boulevard leading out of the centre impressed me for the wrong reasons you could picture the Nazi parade and crowds making it some spectacle for the wrong reasons. Nice city in general but not as developed in the centre as you’d think for its size .
Yes. We had to fly from Stansted on Easyjet. You will probably only go to the biggest one, Sao Miguel. There is a small city, Ponta Delgado, and lots of great scenery. They have hot springs in the North East and a restaurant that cooks food underground from the heat. There is a hot water outdoor swimming pool at a hotel on that side too. The big touristy bit is Sete Cidades. It's two lakes next to each other. One is blue and the other is green. We had a decidedly dodgy car hire but there are lots of tours.
