Regensberg - where the Herivels met snow!

 

Regensburg - where the Herivels met snow!

 

By the time we reached Regensburg the following day, the weather had deteriorated and we ran into snow shortly before we moored at Regensburg.

 

After a few minutes we had snow on the deck of our balcony:

 

 

We were late docking so fortunately the snow had stopped before we set off on foot for a walk around the old town. 

The photo below is from the old stone bridge across the Danube and is looking back onto the old part of Regensburg (see how sunny it was 30 minutes after the snow stopped)

 

 

 

 

The rooftops were covered in snow - a typical winter image :)

 

 

 

We spent some time at the Christmas markets and returned to the ship for lunch - missing the next snow storm by only minutes.

In the afternoon we took an optional tour to the Thurn and Taxis Palace (see below) which was very opulent. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside as the family still live there. One of the features of the Palace was a Christmas Market that  featured local handcrafts. Very lovely but expensive!
