Went to Baden-Baden at the weekend. Very pretty, but didn't have time for a bath, you need three hours free. I'll definitely be back there in January though. I did try the water, hard to drink at 67 degrees C, and very very salty indeed. There's a sign saying not to drink more then 400ml a day. Yeah no kidding.

The supposed capture of saddam has allowed the German radio to use the word "Doppelganger" a lot. Apparently, 1 in 3 Germans under the age of 25 believes the 2001 attacks on NY/Washington were carried out by the CIA. Then again, it was someone on the BBC who said that, so you can never be sure..
