Speyer, Germany(2017)
June 2017
River Cruise
5 Countries
We walked through a park on the way to the cathedral

The statues represent the heroes of Germany
coming to life to defend the country



The Cathedral was closed to the public because of the funeral of Helmut Kohl, former chancellor of West Germany



Art is very important to the people

Even private gardens are home to unusual sculpture

We spent a lot of time in the Technical Museum
on our trip in 2012
Those photos are here

On this cruise we only had time to peek into the compound
Lots of new exhibits. Worth revisiting at a future time

 





Our ship is docked near this bridge

but

the only access is down these steep steps
