Regensburg

I agree with you, Alexander, that its amazing that in Europe some of the buildings are so old. An example ins when we were staying in Aegina (the Greek island) the hotel we were in had been operating as a hotel almost longer than European existence in Australia! And it had been a house previous to being a hotel! Here are some pictures of a cathedral in Regensburg which was built in parts from the 1500's to the mid-1800's.

Although we didn't spend much time in Regensburg (we had an most of an afternoon and a morning) we were able to see enough of the town. On Sunday morning we went to the current residence of the Prince(ss) of the town, where we tagged onto a German tour group and listened to information on audio guides. The palace was amazingly furnished and was stunning, though Mum said it's probably nothing compared to Versailles.

We then hopped onto a train to Nuremberg and spent the evening wandering around the Christkindle markets.
