But there’s nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear
Than to stand in a bar, of a pub with no beer.

I spent much of the day inside trying to work out a restaurant that we could go to tonight. Our hosts had given a list of recommendations. I went through these carefully trying to translate German menus to see if the particular place would work for us. Each of them had their own unique problems such as only open for lunch, no meat dishes, too far away, etc. There was a Schwabian restaurant on the list but it really had nothing suitable, no seafood, no chicken, for the girls. I also considered some local restaurants that were not on the recommended list including Little Marlene which was named after the famous German actress Marlene Dietrich who grew up around here. But, I rejected that idea too.

Any way, Julie who is now an expert with the bus system, heads out to places unknown:

Back at the apartment the kids show up early as we now have a dinner booking.

So, what has this to do with Slim Dusty? The place was run by Muslims and hence there was no alcohol available at all.

After that less than stunning meal, it was back to the apartment for some real drinks.
