Scenic routes in

Part 2 - Bamburg
We woke up to fog
but it soon started to burn off - the lake appeared. It was all a bit chilly for sitting boiling
water for coffee though so we packed up and left, hoping a cafe would be open
in the little town/village at 7.30 or 8.00 am - but this is not France or Italy
where people go out for breakfast so we had to stop on the motorway instead.
We zipped along to
our first scenic destination, the city of Bamburg. The most remarkable thing about the old part
of this city was the Imperial Cathedral (built 1237) which has 4 towers all
with copper spires (greened with vertigris).
Thing is you can't really get a good photo that shows the whole
building. Anyway the streets around were
(as usual) picturesque - and we walked up to an abbey and looked around the
terraces up there. Then we set off for
the motorway again heading for our next destination...
