A great, small museum, which is very lovingly designed. On certain days craft demonstrations are offered and with an entrance fee of € 3, – for adults absolutely recommendable. The staff and craftsmen are all very nice, knowledgable and very helpful. I think that’s great. My Tigertip A great, small…
In the historic building as well as on the modern balcony there is excellent food. My highlight was the pork schnitzel “Bergisches Land” with fried onions, fried egg, pepper sauce, fried potatoes and salad. That was delicious, that was plentiful, and even a devoured tiger is then fed up. The…
Today it was all about Cologne and a historic railbus. Of course, this requires a tiger-appropriate strengthening in the morning. Fortunately, on the way to the train station, there was a bakery that had a hearty Mettbrötchen for breakfast. Arrived at the station my way led me to the sausage…
An expensive piece of track was my current exploration target, the Miljoenenlijn.

Rusty pub in the south of London, which issues numbered Fez hats to the guests as a “waiting sign” for ordered bar meals. With this extraordinary gimmick you can do a lot of funny jokes! The beer selection is good, as in almost all British pubs. The burgers are big,…
René von Tiger – Consulting Detective Day 2 – A meeting of masters In the morning of the next day, a decent breakfast was to bring me to new strength. So I went to Speedy’s Sandwich Bar & Cafe, which had been recommended to me by my London colleague. I…
On the sidewalk you first notice the long queue as you walk from Baker Street Station towards 221b. An employee of the museum regularly walks past the row, asking the waiting people to keep the sidewalk free for pedestrians, and points out that they should buy the tickets in the…
Small, friendly cafe just off Euston Square Station. There is a very decent full English breakfast, tidy sandwiches and delicious burgers. The boss is usually in person behind the counter and sorts out freezing guests like me inside as soon as a seat becomes available there. The rush of tourists…
