We have a temporary break in transmission:
Although we know the Taliban got their turkeys
The internet cafe across the the road with wireless access has temporarily broken down ~ or at least the wireless has broken down. As much as I have tried to post a witty entry or two at an ordinary internet place, it has proved impossible. Normal transmission will resume as soon as possible we hope.

In the meantime, we are able to report that a truckload of turkeys destined as Christmas dinner for the British troops in Afghanistan has been blown up by the Taliban. This information comes courtesy of the BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Services), that being the only English speaking radio we are able to pick up in Dusseldorf. There's almost nothing we don't know about Christmas day arrangements for the troops. Where's Radio Luxembourg when you need it?

Tomorrow we are off to Muncih and then Numberg (Nuremberg to you) to add to the 278 photos we currently have of Christmas markets.
