Since you are getting over there on their dime, take a few extra days for yourself to see another city or country. The train systems over their are awesome, so you could get to Amsterdam or
[hr]
within a few hours. Both of these are great cities, especially Amsterdam's night life and coffe shops (wink wink).

Europeans are very proud of their country / continent and they would understand your desire to see more. Explain to your vendor you would like to extend your stay for a few days or week (vacation days / expenses on your dime of course) is there anyway to rebook the tickets. Even if its just the $100 change fee, I would pay it and visit more of Germany or go to neighboring Holland (see post above) France, or Brussels and in that order IMO.
What is amazing about Europe is the age of their buildings...here we think an old building was built in 1880 or 1900, there old churches and museums are circa 1400. Plus you get into those churches (and I am not religous) and you see the craftmanship with the tools being used 600 years ago it will drop your jaw.
I'll state it again too, the trains are awesome and widely used, frequent departures, and safe for the most part. The train stations do have a lot of pick pockets so be careful there.

As for feeding.. I've found getting some paper "dixie" cups and putting a feeding alottment into each one in the freezer for the number of days I'm gone helps prevent whoever is taking care of my tank from overfeeding.
As for Europe, I agree with the above. Spend some time over there if it's possible. I'm a bigger fan of Eastern Europe (I really enjoy Slovakia and Macedonia) but you'll be impressed anywhere you go.
There are some very old buildings over there of course (The White Tower in London is built on the Roman tower that stood there in the 2nd century for instance) but many of Germany's great cathedrals and buildings were destroyed in WW2. A bit wider travel will allow you to see some spectacular sites.
