    I think I found the street which was mentioned a bit back, completely by acident - honest! I took a walk from my hotel to go to get something to eat. I found a McD and then saw a road full or restraunts and bars. While walking down the road I noticed a couple of girls stood in the road - then this woman came up to me and started spouting something in german. Being a bit thick I assumed she was trying to lure people into a bar or restraunt - Oh not a bit of it - she was trying to lure me into her!

    "Oh you are english. Would you like to get a room together......"

    At which point I made my excuses and left. Extra bonus points with the wife on that one!

    The thing which suprised me was how good looking they were. None of the drugged up slappers who frequent some of the seedier streets in the UK. I should have asked her how much it cost to help stir that particular porridge pot

    Then when I got back to my hotel there were two women in the bar who were obviously on the game. Sat drinking water and talking to all the blokes who came in. They were old and nowhere near as good looking as the bints on the street though!

    I don't think Tony is as into gay saunas as you are.

    There is also is a strange trade there with lots of delightful eastern european girls who seem to want to park elderly gentlemens cars for them. You should be very concerned about their welfare since they seem to own very little clothing.

    Don't expect to find a taxi without a bit of hoofing about in the early hours and I also found I could never get into a bank with my UK card in order to use the cash dispenser.
    You got it spot on though I had no problem getting a taxi, 2 nights running I flagged down a cab and paid with a £10 note after 'spending' all my euro's.

    Also those girls you mention are pretty good at finding working cash machines.

    Nah. Huge amount of unemployed or students so Monday is like any other day. Head for the former Eastern part where all the bars and clubs are - forget names but any guide book should have 'em.
