Most nights we have some form of entertainment on board, last night our cruise director (a Welsh girl) took to the microphone for an evening of songs. My first thought was Uh Oh, what are we in for here. It turns out she was previously a professional singer and has an amazing voice. Again a good night was had by all.
We cruised over night to Würzburg and woke up to fog and 1C (34F). At least now the sun has broken through and we should be going up to 12C (54F). After lunch we will head out on a walking tour of the area for a couple of hours. Some one commented to me that they thought I sounded bored with the trip, far from it. Although may of the towns have a basic similarity there are also a great deal of differences between them. I find it difficult to capture those differences when writing the blog with out going into pages of historic details, that would take away from food, drink, socialising and entertainment time…… ain’t going to happen! So I’ll continue with the blurb at the beginning and pictures at the end. As I’ve said before, Google and particularly Google Lens can be your friend with the pictures.
The only important contribution that I found that Würzburg made to the civilised world was the invention of the X-ray. However our tour guide around the city had a few different ideas. Today we had a tour guide whose mother was a strong American Catholic, his father a strong Turkish Muslim and himself a German Protestant! I am beginning to doubt the information from some of these guides, it appears that most towns have the largest Cathedral and/or the oldest Catholic Cathedral!
Todays tour focused primarily on the Prince-Bishops residence in the town.
Below are pictures of the outside and inside of the Prince-Bishops residence
