Regensburg - 5/17/2025

Today we woke up docked in Regensburg. We had a walking tour of the town which was nearby and just down the waterfront. Our quide was very slow and shared really random things around the city in a zig zag pattern that really seemed to have no purpose. We say the cathedral, the town hall, some random spots where famous people had briefly lived or spent time. It wasn't much fun and we were happy to get to the end of the tour and have some free time.

After the tour we went back to the townhall and had a coffee and pastry at the oldest outdoor cafe in Germany, which also makes very good chocolates.

We then walked back towards the bridge because we had a voucher for Sausage at a very famous sausage maker in Regensburg just beside the bridge. They were quite crowded but 2 german ladies agreed to share the other end of their table with us. The sausage was delicious!

We walked back to the ship. We're planning a quiet afternoon because everyone on the ship including us has a cold and we want to rest and pack our suitcases in preparation to move ships tomorrow.
