Great pics Erich!
I am really disappointed though! All you had to do was tell me a town or place and I would have driven to meet you.

I wish I could have Chris I was so or should we say we all were so regulated with this tour group/Cruise that the only free time I later found out was at Speyer and in Köln almost on our way homeward.......... we will hook up in the future man ~
hey 3 more pics.
From the Bakers Haus in Colmar, the 3 pics will somewhat finish up this most pleasureable place before we continue onward on the Wine road
my wife found some flowers; I could tell she was drooling at some of the arrangements, this in the old former convent now a museums housing some very nice works of art, cameras surprisingly were allowed for foto shoots but were were a bit reluctant and only took a couple ~
the end of the hallway is Matthias Grünewalds Retable d' Issenheim ~
a bit fuzzy due to very dark conditions, the folks only allowed everyone so close to this rather large piece

Chris you need to fire up your Ansbach/Nürnburg thread again and show us some more of the scenes, plus your fav Bier Stube. we got back on the cruise ship a bit wasted even after having a French pressed coffee, and then we sailed north to Speyer..............need to go through that lot and get it sorted out.
Yeah I was just thinking about bringing back my Bavarian thread...

a little background once we left Strasbourg in theafternoon we passed flat ground covered in fields and Cottonwood/maple trees, the villages were well in the background, camping facilities were everywhere almost on waters edge with tents parked right on top of each other, this was the case right into Holland even close to rather large industrial centres. when we got to Speyer early eve the crew took about 3 or more hours to tie the boat off and really had troubles doing so due to heavy river currents. My Familie took off right after a huge dinner into the old square ............
passing the Kaiserdom to the old square where the locals were relaxing and a beautiful but quite humid evening with a good Bier
evening came real quick a memorial to the fallen in the first war
next morn with guide around 8.30 am we retraced our steps and viewed beautiful park like trees that at one time were buried in the Rhine as it was much wider during pre 1700 times
one of two standing gates of the Medievel period
closer view of the scroll work on the Dom, we took tons of pics and since the interior was dark and blank........well you know the story they came out so-so.
a dedicated fountain filled with wine when the new archbishop is elected, hey I'm checking it out ...........dang nothing
the Trinity church from the Baroque era. during the late 1600's during the 30 ? years war with France, France really did much damage to the major German cities along the Rhine. Koblenz, Heidelberg, etc.
after losing my tour group and trying to find something very special for my gal I ran through town covered in sweat and then back to the bus where we were to view the city of Heidleberg...........
