Regensburg
We have recently returned from a visit to Germany. We flew to Munich last Saturday and where taken to Regensburg by minivan. We were based in Regensburg where Évi has a friend living in the city. As usual I took plenty of pictures, near on 500. I have posted a few on my flickr account. We mostly stayed around Regensburg, taking in a trip to the Hall of Liberation at Kelheim, a fleeting visit to Walhalla, and a boat trip on the Danbue. On the Wednesday we took the train and spent the day looking around Munich.
Coming home was a bit of a nightmare. We left Regensburg at 4 in the morning amid thunderstorms. All went smoothly at the airport, and our flight to Gatwick was OK. At Gatwick we had to get a bus to Heathrow, then another bus to High Wycombe. From here we got a taxi to home. This took a long time, and by the end we were glad to be back.
On Sunday we decided to take advantage of the weather and go for a walk. This turned into two. The first walk took place around the pretty village of Hambleden. This took us 1 1/2 hours and was very scenic. At the end we wanted to get a pint to refresh our aching bodies, but upon entering the village pub we were told “Sorry guys we are shut”. It was only 1510. We decided to go on another walk in Marlow, along the Thames. Whilst en-route we found a pub which was open and had a well-deserved pint.
Marlow was packed, and getting a parking space was a nightmare but we soon started our trek. We treated ourselves to ice-cream at the start and had a lovely stroll down the Thames.
