Regensburg. Untouched by bombs.

Regensburg is too far east and too small to have suffered bombing. Started in roman times as a border fortress between Rome and the huns. Very prosperous from river trade in silk and spices between Istanbull and Europe. Then the Islamic empire moved into Turkey  and shut the trade down so Regensburg slumped. But now prosperous on tourists. Huge cathedral as ever. Rivals Cologne in size and wealth in its heyday.

We arrived at start of "october"fest season. Lunch in town square bratwurst and bier and watched gay rights parade. Tried not to get too close!
