The crazy but lovable 'pension' in Loutzen, rural Germany

Seeing Leipzig's population expanded by over 10% with tourists streaming in to watch the game, pretty much all the hotels there (both of them) were booked out. The closest hotel/motel I could get for me and Angie was this bed and breakfast (in Germany/Europe they are referred to as pensions - yes, it confused me for a while too) twenty miles out of Leipzig.

... it was like a different world. Miles from anyway, a picturesque scene - here's the view from our room:



... there was wildlife running around (before breakfast, anyway) ...



... and a lovely German style home made breakfast to boot!



... but of course, no German pension in the country would be complete without being run by a CRAZY owner. Here he is, with Angie ... I preferred to keep my distance ...



Whilst he spoke great English - he reminded me of some of my economics lecturers; would start speaking in German to himself DURING our conversation: being nice and hospitable and then angry?!!

However, he certainly wasn't crazy on the pricing - hitting us with a 20 euro 'service charge'. Financially shrewd, but otherwise crazy ...

I'll leave you with this thought!
