Off on Holiday to Saarland and Luxemburg.

The Schlossplatz St Wendel.
 
I started packing today for my four day holiday to St Wendel, Ottweiler, Saarlouis, Saaarbrücken, Saarschleife and Luxemburg.  I leave early on Thursday morning on the annual coach holiday organised by my neighbours in Timmerlah.  We are staying in the "Angel Hotel" in the centre of St Wendel.
 
St Wendel is a town in north eastern Saarland.  It is situated on the river Blies, 36 km northeast of Saarbrücken, the capital of Saarland, and is named after Saint Wendelin of Trier.  According to a survey by the German Association for Housing, Town Planning and Land Use Regulation, St. Wendel is one of the wealthiest regions in Germany.
 
Frankfurt am Main airport.
 
Several guided  town tours are included in the holiday, beginning on Thursday afternoon with a guided tour of Frankfurt am Main Airport.  I shall be interested to see the baggage handling process in action.  The  airport is by far the busiest airport for passenger traffic in Germany, as well as the 4th busiest in Europe after London Heathrow, Paris - Charles de Gaulle and Schipol Airport, Amsterdam.
