Another early start, more church bells.
Walked over the old stone bridge, which is under renovation, to the Stadtamhof part of the city.
A church bell chimed and it gave me quite a start because it sounded exactly like an Amsterdam tram.
We spent the day just wandering around looking at the buildings, going into churches and taking photos. We had lunch at the cafeteria in the Galeria department store which had a good range of food and drinks at reasonable prices. There was also free WiFi, a view from the terrace and a nice change from the usual sort of eateries.
Australians,including us, tend to think of European skies as hazy and soft light. This certainly hasn't been the case the last few days! The skies have been bright blue and the air clear (and HOT).
We ate dinner at an Italian restaurant for dinner. Yes, I know we are in Germany but we have been eating our share of sausages, including currywurst (which I quite like - sausage with tomato sauce and curry flavouring - it's better than it sounds!), sauerkraut and potato dumplings (which have a rather unusual texture). The pizza was HUGE, what we at home would call a Family size, about 40 cm across (we shared one) and very tasty. The restaurant was crowded, noisy and hot. The waitress said it was worse for her, running around serving.
