Bamberg is a city located in Upper Franconia (huh?) on the river Regnitz. Close to it's confluence with the river Main. Another historic city center and listed on UNESCO world heritage site.
Bamberg played a significant role as a link with the Slav peoples of Eastern Europe, especially in Poland and Pomerania (and I thought that was a dog). The town was laid out according to medieval planning rules as a cross, with the churches of St. Micheal, St. Stephen, St Gangolf, and St Jacob at the four cardinal points. How do ya like the Michaelsberg Abbey?
The cathedral is a late Romanesque Bubs. "Late what?" Of course it became the seat of a powerful Prince-Bishop in the early 12th century. Here comes the prosperity and lavish restoration of the the cathedral in the early 13th century.
The World Heritage site covers the 3 centers of settlement that coalesced when the town was founded. Bergstdt, Inseldsdt and he Theurestadt. Pay attention Bubba, there will be a test....Lots of Goth here...and a little Baroque. Hello Bohemia.
Miraculously, Bam emerged from WWII with hardly a scratch...most of the city's buildings are originals. Pleep saw the advertisement for the Monkey Bar...so off he went....
Pleep enjoyed the 10 breweries but his favorite was the Monkey Bar. Making fast friends with the fraulein bar keep...
He told her he heard that Germany has no minimum age for drinking brewskies....ah no little Pleepster but for you I must make an exception! Danke Babe!While Boca dragged Bub around on more cobblestone streets...hey Boca, are ya tryin to kill me???
And Bubba enjoys his evening cocktail while Lock traversing...
after church hopping and being with the Boca all day, Bubs is easily entertained by a wall....
is the chow getting any better Bubs? " As a matter of fact it is..."
Good, so I can expect no more hairy soup, right?
