 ome from Home... during my time working in Augsburg, I have lived in a number
of apartments, and stayed at an even greater number of hotels. One of the
apartments that I lived at was in the Hotel Turm (pictured below). It wasn't the
largest or nicest apartment that I have lived in, but I have to include a
picture of it, as it does look quite impressive from the outside, and the views
from the balcony are absolutely fantastic. On really clear days, you can see
unimpeded views of the Alps, due to being at such a great height on the 29th
Floor, at approx 105m high.
