Bamberg, Germany

[hkskyline]

Bamberg was a pitstop from our drive into Munich across western Germany. It was a charming little town, and too bad we had so little time to explore. Emerging from the car, we crossed a bridge with this big landmark in sight.

The red flowers seem to be a common decoration throughout Germany. Add to that the different-coloured walls, and you get a charming old town.

It was a cool, grey day, but a bit too late for alfresco lunch in the open.

This building has a beautiful cover. It appears so new.

A fairly major street was pedestrianized, with plenty of shops and restaurants. Go back a few months in the mid-summer, and this place should be bursting with people.

Lunch consisted of curry bratwurst. The notion of adding curry didn't seem to jive with German food so well, but after a few more days in the country, I realized this was a popular dish.

I wasn't going to get Chinese food in Germany.

The river plays an important part of this town, and with the colourful buildings, a beautiful setting arose.

I needed blue skies though.

Beautiful town ... for the full set, please visit http://www.globalphotos.org/bamberg.htm

Wonderful. The curry sausage picture was a nice touch and informative, thanks.

HKS: Neat pictures of Bamberg,Germany here!
I noticed a clean European-style city with a lot of character.

One stand-out is that pic of the apple/cranberry canned fruit spices for sale-with all that bright red.
Look at this pic in the dark or against something blue for maximum effect...
