Our day in Regensburg

Witnessed a wonderful sheet lightning storm last night. The light actually came in through the sheers and the black out drapes! By 9:00 am, the sky was a bit cloudy - likely temperature was 70-75 for the remainder of the day, with high humidity. A terrific relief after the 90s.
Travelled through several canals/locks today; each one was different.
Today was a day to get in the mood for Bavaria. Fruehschoppen was served in the Lounge; that means Bavarian traditional white sausage with beer at 11 AM. Prost!!! Mmmm good! A Bavarian lunch was also served in the Restaurant and the Lounge.
We arrived in Regensburg about 2:30 and had a walking tour. We walked on the oldest stone bridge built in the 12th century. Regensburg is famous for the manufacture of BMW 3 series convertibles and coupes, and the manufacture of microchips for mobile phones.
Note to Rene: we have a picture that shows how high the Danube flooded in Regensburg during the few weeks you were here in Bavaria.
We are off to Nuremberg tomorrow. Because the Bavaria Ironman is being run tomorrow morning, we are doing the Nurem. medeval castle tour in the morning and then traveling through the highest lock on the Danube (81 feet) in the afternoon. We disembark from Nuremberg on Monday morning and should arrive in Prague (by bus) about 5:00 pm for a four night stay. Will try to send pictures from Prague.
We are booked into 2 nights in Vienna (Hotel Prinz Eugen) and 1 night in Salzburg (Mercure Salzburg City) before training to Lucerne via Zurich.
