Bamberg

The town of breweries and all the cute!

Upon arrival we immediately extended our stay for another night.  Last night we had a drink at 3 out of the 10 brew pubs in town.  Which means we have a busy day ahead of us today - 7 to go.  Dinner was at the brewery GB wanted to visit the most, the reason we are even here in the adorable town of Bamberg - Schlenkerla.  We both chose meals prepared with the famous smoked beer.  Delicious!

Today I also want to fit in the cathedral, Abbey and castle.  And maybe we might have some time to investigate a bit more history on the witch trials that happened here.  I might be pushing it.

Dave is missed.  Drinking and breakfast buddy no longer.  I am not sure if I said before but it was excellent meeting up with Dave and experiencing Franconia and Bavaria together.
