Very true. When visiting and staying with family, I usually let them define certain key activities for me to join them. Then they prefer we entertain ourselves rest of the time ..by cycling since they must get on with their daily lives. It works out well so far since my family is health-conscious oriented ..so they understand need for daily exercise. Some of them practice yoga, jog or do pilates on their own time.

Papaver: If there is a link to dearie's cousin's hotel & restaurant in Black Forest region in Germany, I'll give it later. In family since 1700's.
