Regensburg

Before starting a four day vacation on a farm in the Bavarian Forrest we spent two days in Regensburg - an old city at the northernmost point of the Danube.
Our hotel was right at the channel bypassing the old town and on the 20 minute walk there we past some side arm of the Danube were people were cooling off on a hot day. Of course Mia wanted to join



Mia's goal was to make it to some rocks in the river - she had to come back the next day with a bathing suit to make it there


The next stop was a beer garden just across the river from the old town


Two ducks also liked the place



Over the oldest bridge in Germany that is still in use - the Steinerne Brücke from 1135 - we got into the old town that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


A tower from 1240 that was the residence of a rich merchant family: Baumburger Turm



Mia was mostly interested in finding an ice cream place


The next day we took a short boat tour

30 minutes away is the Walhalla - a temple to the German spirit build by the Bavarian king Ludwig I  in the first half of the eighteen hundreds.


It was a bit of a climb to get up




Back in town n a department store where we were looking for a charging cable Mia found the section for fancy hats - they looked very nice on here but were a bit too expensive


Time for a nice late lunch at another beer garden with good food, beer and a great view



On the walk back to the hotel we found a nice playground in a park by the river
