Having a lovely restful time in Hanover (one 'n' or two - I don't know and no-one else seems to either). One big thing each day and the rest a rest. It is more a parks kind of town than an old buildings town.
not surprising seeing 90% of the city was destroyed in wwii. There are still impressive buildings though and some nicely preserved sections of old old town. They have a redline walk where you follow the redline painted on the pavement and get to see all the main sites. We did that today, and even had the sense to buy the accompanying guide book for 3 euro half way through.
Leibnitz hails from here as do several kings of England named George, including a mad one (and he wasn't the idiot.)
Enjoying this hotel much better than the one in Berlin. Still plenty of that "fuck you" attitude we seem to have encountered since leaving Sweden, but the hotel is just more comfortable and nice. Perhaps we were spoilt by the very friendly Danes and the helpful Swedes (and the slightly bitter turnips - heh heh heh!)
