| Quote Mintball="Mintball"Finally, after procrastination brought on by complex work commitments and downright panic, I have booked my first solo trip out of the UK.
Be gentle to me – I'm 50: of course it's going to be nerve-wracking.
In less than a month, I catch the Eurostar to Paris, change and get the sleeper to Hamburg, and then take another train (just 40-odd minutes) to Lübeck, the Queen of the Hansa. I'll have three nights there – to explore all the medieval city, do the literary pilgrimage and sample the food (and beer). Then back to Hamburg and a flight to Amsterdam (saves doing five changes by train) where I'll meet T'Other Half and we'll have four days.
After the panic, now a mad rush of excitement – swotting maps and guides to the extent that I dreamt I was walking certain routes the other night.
 '"
Don't panic! That will be ace trip to do by yourself!
I flew to Vietnam by myself last year and it was my first venture by myself and the excitement and adrenaline I experianced at doing so was quality!
The journey back on the other hand was spent mostly asleep apart from 2.5 hours in Dubai airport! |

Just seen this – and thank you, Lawrie. It was great, if far briefer than I would have hoped – and did include an airport 'event'.
But if anyone's interested, the [url=http://thevoluptuousmanifesto.blogspot.co.ukstory of the trip is now appearing here[/url, and will be doing so for a few days to come. |

| A little hop skip and a jump booked for millionaires row on The Algarve again in June, me wandering around in my charity shop clothes pretending that I'm just eccentric and actually much richer then most of the other clients there 
Spot of painting for four days, sell enough to pay for the trip, excellent seafood and beautiful surroundings - and the wife now knows about it and hasn't gone ballistic.
Somethings wrong somewhere, can't put my finger on it yet. |

Hey don't forget the Lübeck marzipan for your fellow sinbinners.
In Hamburg there's a nice restaurant in the cellars of the Rathaus ... they have Labskaus on the menu there. |

Funny you should say that – I bought marzipan for colleagues, and also ate Labskaus at Schiffergesellschaft, a 1535 restaurant! It's also the Labskaus that Mimi Shereton, author of the seminal [iClassic German Cookery[/i, said was the best she had on her travels.
And that's up in the next post, along with lots of art – including a piece I bought for myself from a (perhaps) surprising source. 
But I should add that it's a delight to find another Brit who knows the general area! |

I took pics and measurements last time, to check the effect of the "Delhi Belly" on me.
The Delhi Belly is the same as a home belly, but a bit fatter. |
