4 June – sightseeing in Bamberg
It was good timing for a non-riding day, as it rained the whole morning. We relaxed in the hotel until around 11am, when we ventured out to do some sight seeing.
Bamburg is a beautiful city set alongside the Regnitz river and evidently over seven hills (I’m not sure we climbed them all!) – there is a lot to see here.
City views from gardens around Cloister St Michael – up on hill
haOld Rathaus (town hall) – key tourist area
Look how happy he looks next to her!
We were interested in the “Pulse of Europe” demonstration in one of the pedestrian shopping streets. They are a citizens initiative against Trump and Brexit and advocating for European unity.
We ended up at the wine festival again – eating some Bratwurst and drinking beer – and enjoying the live music.
