I am looking for a town in Eastern Germany, located about 60 km from
Dresden. I don't know the exact name, but sounds like Weiner (?!). In

health warning was issued to vulnerable people, including the elderly
and very young.
The heatwave is to continue across the country for the next few days

I'm going to be in Paris for one night, Thursday 8/10, and would like
recommendations on what part of town to get a hotel.  When I travel I like
to hit a city's bar and lounge scene, and would like somewhere within

My wife and I have a four hour gap between flying in to Amsterdam
airport and flying out again. Our plan is to head for the airport
station, then take a train straight to the "Centraal Station". We
reckon that we might have up to two hours to spend and we're good

I know it's probably statistically true that people in the UK are not
much into foreign languages, but this afternoon in a real estate agent's
