We sailed through the morning going thru several locks. It was real interesting watching the transit. The locks are all electronically controlled and are no longer manned. Don't know what you do if there is a malfunction.
After lunch, we set off on our walking tour of Bamberg after lunch with its medieval city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bamberg was built on seven hills.
Area called "Little Venice".
Our walking tour included an outside visit (unfortunately, we could not go inside due to Good Friday services being conducted) to the magnificent 11th-century cathedral, reworked in late-Romanesque style in the 13th century. The cathedral contains the tombs of Emperor Henry II and Pope Clement II.
We also saw the very picturesque city hall built on a tiny island in the middle of a river. The Old Town Hall (1386) was built in the middle of the Regnitz River accessible by two bridges.
Our last stop was to try some of the town’s distinctive smoke-flavored beer before returning aboard.
The smoked beer is on the right...it was awful!!!!! but Charlie drank it anyways...
