We arrive in Franconia on the first leg of our cycling tour, Bamberg

We walked along the River Main in the centre of Bamberg late evening

Same as above.  Saw a man eating an ice cream.  Followed the trail of people eating ice creams to the ice cream shop that was doing a roaring trade at 9pm!

Our hotel on the right

Near our hotel centre of Bamberg. UNESCO city for exceptional preservation. No WW2 bombing

Simon would have loved all of these.  Tracy said 'thank God they are in Bamberg and not down the road'

We have arrived in Bamberg UNESCO world heritage site. Beautiful university city and found the last available room in wonderful family run gasthaus in the heart of the old city. We have the car safely parked in the underground Karlstadt carpark which states max daily charge 10euros (we think it says that!) and the electric bikes stowed in an adjoining store, supper at the hotel, (a rather strange 'quark' concoction, but we were unable to read the menu and too tired to bother to translate) and tomorrow we head for Nuremberg (or Zirndorf to be precise - 50 miles)  Decided not to go to Nurnberg, that will be for another time.  There are only so many cities that you can absorb in a week!
