Day 11 - Thursday
22 Sept Bamberg 21 degrees
Little overcast and cool this morning as we head off to the
city of Bamberg. It was built on 7 hills and rivers running through the town.
Lots of bridges. Bamberg was not bombed during the war, it is a beautiful
medieval city. Lovely buildings and shops. Walked up to another cathedral and a
german movie was being filmed. Our guide, Alexander, was very cool. We also visited Zehnthasus a private brewery established in 1533 and sampled their beers. We have
been very fortunate to have such excellent guides. Have a relaxing afternoon as
we cruise through the canal to Wurzburg.

Bamberg is a beautifully preserved medieval town. Can’t remember if it was Bamberg or Regensburg that wasn’t bombed because the wife of a general had a relative living there. Anyway, it has beautiful medieval buildings and the cathedral is huge. The residences next to the cathedral are used in lots of movies (3 musketeers being one), and the newer baroque residence just across the plaza. There was a children’s film being made on the day we visited. We walked through a vast rose garden that you couldn’t imagine would be there. Bamberg has 2 rivers running through it and you can see the buildings/homes that belonged to fishermen.
Back on board for a leisurely afternoon, John not feeling the best (bratwursts fever?)
After dinner we had a music quiz, we were just pipped at the post by “look at me” and friends.
Yvonne suspected Dr Google was on their team.
...just another day, “who would have thought.......”
PS
Why are our glasses empty?
