The Amateur Traveler talks to Jason and Janie about their trip to Bavaria and Southern Germany. Jason and Janie had perviously been on the Amateur Traveler on Travel to Barbados – Episode 109. The talk about visiting the Black Forest with its wineries, Geramany’s tallest waterfall and the world’s largest cuckoo clock. They also visited the walled city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Rothenburg (which may have been spared the ravages of the 30 years war by a hard drinking mayor) is the home to a wonderful Christmas market as well as a Christmas museum. The Rothenburg Nightwatchman’s tour is also something you should try. Jason and Jamie also went to Nurenburg with its wonderful market place and saw “Mad” King Ludwig’s castle Neuschwanstein. The finished the trip in the home of very large beer steins at Munich. In Munich they enjoyed the glockenspiel, the toy museum and some of the wonderful old churches.

Probably my most favourite place in Europe – such a gorgeous place to walk around and soak up ‘mad Ludwig’s’ experience.
I’ve also seen the waterfall and huge clock – perhaps not as impressive but nonetheless interesting.
Thanks for sharing!

While looking through your archives, these miscellaneous things unrelated to this episode occured to me:
1) You used to have themed episodes (how to take travel photos, bad hotels) but there haven’t been early since I started listening about a year ago. Any plans for themed episodes in the future? They make for a nice change of pace and can provide useful general tips.
2) Why’re episodes 1-18 not in the archive?
Also, my version of the Krakow episode came out at 2 minutes long so I had to resubscribe to the podcast to redownload it. Am I the only one who had this problem?

1) I keep thinking about themed episodes but have not had anyone pitch me something that appealed to me. I have invited someone to come on recently and readdress budget travel. I had plans for a show on RVing that fell through. What did you have in mind?
2) They are on the website still but are not in the feed because at some point the feed gets long enough that is is slower to load, and mostly because they aren’t as good.
3) I have had issues with my hosting provider recently where some shows like Krakow got truncated when I uploaded them. I usually check but I think this one came out when I was out of town so it took me longer to fix it.

Not really sure what I have in mind.
Maybe Third World travel? e.g. coping with a lack of amenities
Or maybe someone can talk about his favourite hostels.
Anyway the limitation, I think, is supply (people who are willing to be interviewed) rather than demand (ideas on shows), so.

Must say I really enjoyed this podcast. While my interest in the destination was luke warm I found the format really refreshing. Having two guests on gave me a better and multifacated veiw on the location and I’d really enjoy hearing more of this format in the future. Thanks for all the hard work and thanks for my favorite travel podcast.

Also thank you for reading my comment. True while we may disagree on an issue it will take all kinds of appraoches to help this world become more like the wonderful place we all know it can be. Also to healthy people a disagreement is just an invitation to discuss and make our own world views all the more real and practical. Again thanks.
