"Bath-city, not butt-city!" Aachen by Mahieu


Aachen Travel Guide: 573 reviews and 1,127 photos

Ok, this title might need some explanation :-). At the VT-meeting, we decided to take a guided tour in Aachen. The lady guiding us was very kind and explained us very well the history and must-sees of Aachen. Just one small detail, when talking about the baths of Aachen, she kept pronouncing it like butts! I was afraid I was the only one with a sick mind, but oh no, just next to me, I saw Robin_Linda trying to hide her laughter. It got worse when the tour guide started to talk about the history and the different kind of butts. Just one tip: if you think you might laugh during a guided tour, then at least put yourself in the back, it's far less embarassing than standing just in front of the guide -)
