Regensburg

Friday we headed to Regensburg, the fourth largest city in Bavaria and a UNESCO world heritage site. The walk from the Regensburg train station to the downtown area takes about 15 minutes and you pass through the Schloss Emmeram Park. A short detour to the far side of the park brings you to the Schloss Thurn and Taxis. The palace has an interesting history beginning as a Benedictine monastery when it was built in 739 and later on converted into a grand palace for the Prices of Thurn and Taxis in 1812. Afterward, Blake and I cut up towards the St. Peter Cathedral, an iconic gothic style cathedral. Then we headed to what was supposed to be a beautiful stone bridge, however, it was under construction and covered up. Although we couldn’t see the bridge, we were able to get nice photos of the St. Peter’s Cathedral and the city from this angle. As Blake and I had a late night, we decided to get some Döner Kabob and then head back to Landshut. Once in Lanshut, we ate pizza and played the card game Wizard.
