It was extremely hot during my trip and I missed my Toyota Highlander with air condition and automatic. However, the older Audi 80 which I got for free from my son was also very powerful and more fuel efficient which was very important to me with the ridiculous European gas prices.
I was pouring down lots of bottled water in order to survive and visited in the evening one of the spas.

Please be aware that it is not possible to cover everything what Thuringia has to offer after two trips. This is also not our task. We want to make you interested and a little be prepared to explore this state which is so rich on culture, history and great nature on your own.
Elizabeth already told me, that she want to come back and hopefully the airline which we will select next time is more careful and will not misplace our luggage - we are willing to pay a little bit more for that.
When both of us can work on our travel guide more towns and attractions will be visited and added. A great help would be support from the Thuringian tourist industry. We need advertising and contracts to pay the bills!
