One thing I really wanted to do in Würzburg was check out the Alte Mainbrücke (Old Main Bridge).. and boy did I pick a good day.. complete with mist, definitely a highlight
I didn't get up to anything today as I decided to take a rest day. I did head out about 2pm to go grab some food. This is the little area just outside the hotel.. it is a hive of activity- people walking, trams & buses going past & stopping to pick up passengers and of course cars zooming around the corner. It was actually quite fascinating, so much so that I sat at the bus stop (to the left of the photo) for about 15-20 minutes just watching every happen in what I could only describe as 'organised chaos' Do you sometimes just sit & watch the everyday life of where you are?
This is famous Würzburg Residenz.. yeah I hadn't heard if it either until I was planning my trip here. Mind you, I hadn't heard of Würzburg before this trip either.. anywhoo, the Residenz are a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site and was built between 1720-1744 This place is seriously huge and I haven't been inside yet, will do that one day this week. But I have to say I was disappointed to see the front courtyard of the building converted to car park. Meaning you can't get a decent shot of the whole front facade except for this tiny part. There are about 130,000 inhabitants of Würzburg and I am pretty darn sure every single one of them has a car!! Luckily a lot of the central town is car free but is serviced by trams.
One thing I really wanted to do this time in Hamburg was go to the Rathaus (Town Hall).. despite being unwell I jumped on the hoho bus and spent a few minutes photographing this gorgeous building including this lovely fountain in the courtyard.
I really fell for the charms of Warnemunde though I suspect it might have been different if it had been summer and a cruise ship was in port.. I would expect this German seaside town to be completely overrun with people. Luckily my friend and I choose a chilly autumn day to visit instead 😁
Spent the day in Warnemünde. Found out recently this is where one of my great great grandfathers was born back in 1860 before he moved to New Zealand (literally the opposite side of the planet). Obviously slightly different to his day but it was still pretty cool seeing some of the buildings that would have been around in his day
