Bamberg, Main River

Cruising this morning and a walk around Bamberg this afternoon. According to legend the bishop of Bamberg did not grant the citizens any land for the construction of a town hall. This prompted the townsfolk to ram stakes into the river to create an artificial island, on which they built their town hall. It looks great with water rushing either side. We're in beer country now, so it's beer and sausages at 11am, and smokey beer after our walk. Supposedly an acquired taste but Ian says its ok. Kay enjoys her gluhwein.
We have dinner tonight in the small, special restaurant. Copious amounts of wine and food, and some lively conversation, make for a good night.
