Traveling

Interesting as well:

1) La Tourette: a cloister in France close to Lyon, where you can stay overnight.

2) Paris:

Les Égouts de Paris,
Les Catacombes et les Restos
“Chartier” (7 rue du  Faubourg Montmartre, 75009 PARIS, Tel.: 01 47 70 86 29 et
“La Canaille” 4 rue Crillon, 75004 Paris, Tel.: 01 42 78 09 71.
Some more hints for the frugal traveler in Paris in The Guardian.

3)The Bolando in Bollschweil (at the Swiss German border):

a cooperative bar in the village of Bollschweil and a flagship example of the creation of “social capital”. I found this hint in the very interesting book “Gemeinsam sind wir reich” (Together we are rich) by the German economist Alexander Dill – a book full of very interesting and unusual new approaches.

Next to this, I also found out, that Bollschweil is the native place of a interesting German writer, Marie-Luise Kaschnitz (1901 – 1974). There is a little memorial for her in the graveyard in Bollschweil.

4) The Bürgerspital zum Heiligen Geist, according to reliable sources, one of the best wine restaurants in Würzburg, Bavaria.

5) Another magic place is Peratallada, a medieval village in the hinterland of the Costa Brava in Spain,

Catalonia to be exact, close to the French border.
There is a very charming Restaurant, El Pati del Gloria: a dream to stay at that place for a weekend or so.

6) Ever in India, I would love to see the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple, in Trivandrum, Kerala, India.
