Another early morning found us
with another excellent guide Ute in Regensburg, one of Europe’s
best-preserved medieval cities, undamaged from WWII. Along the way
were "one of the largest groupings of 13th- and 14th-century church
spires, towers and patrician houses north of the Alps," as well as
"12th-century Old Stone Bridge, St. Peter’s Cathedral and a number
of idyllic courtyards" In the afternoon, we took the optional tour, a bus ride to Kelheim, with Kati, and then on a ferry boat "to the 400-foot chalk cliffs and dramatic scenery of the Danube Narrows" and then to the Weltenurg Abbey. |
