Southern Germany Transit via Regensburg

Southern Germany Transit... via Regensburg..










Shares in Alex company have finally paid off !
The Danube at Regensburg is a little smaller than at Galati, Romania (where it is 1km wide), but there is a stone bridge & lots of people enjoying its waters, all the same.

Another take on David & Goliath - on the wall of an old building in the town.

We had heard that Regensburg, like Oxford in England, was one of the few cities in Germany largely unaffected by the bombing in WWII.
Unfortunately, it meant that the same stones that we stood before at the Synagogue, had witnessed many people taken away to death in Concentration Camps, too.  (We experienced the same in Budapest's largest synagogue in Europe.)









An unusual triangular entrance porch at the main door of the cathedral.





This is what the best dressed Bavarian girl is wearing for special occasions, so we thought all the girls might like to try them on.








Not to mention Isaac, Toby & William's options !









From one square to another,













...fresh revelations ....









But it was time to head for Czech Republic via Southern Germany's lovely countryside:
