Deutschland!

Because we are travelling to the Dolomites, this time we had to traverse Germany and Austria to get to our destination of Selva di Val Gardena.  Here are some impressions of the trip.

We spent the night in Speyer, near Heidelberg, which is notable for its Romanesque cathedral - the largest in Europe.

Festival time - we had to try the beer!

Thronged streets with handicrafts, food, beer and wine ...

Tea time - it had to be sausages and sauerkraut!

This morning - the Cathedral just visible from our room

Oh, yes, it's Germany - around Stuttgart were many signs of this hotbed of innovation and industry ...
