8 April 2017 - Day 8 Trip - Day 6 Cruise - Wurzberg

The morning was so lovely and  the river was calm and like glass we saw swans in the sunlight on the river.  We divided into our groups, we were 39C, after breakfast and got on buses to go to the bishops residence for our tour of the day. 
We arrived at a large parking lot to an even larger building with beautiful gardens with paths past     flow


 
flowering trees and lots of statues and fountains.


 We were not allowed to take photos inside the residence but did really enjoy all the beautiful rooms. Inside the library is wonderful and the games room ;with all the mirrors was fun. We did buy some postcards  in the gift shops on our way out. We then went into the town of wurzberg  with lots of church and markets ad the statue of the man tied up sitting on the stairs looking up to heaven. Supposed to signify the everyday troubles of man.  We continued on past more lovely buildings into a market square with more churches, the easter market in town was lovely and they had al the side streets decorated too.

We went into several churches one we almost interrupted an ongoing easter concert  but we ducked out again and came in a different door so as not to disturb them. 
We had a glass of wine on the bridge going over the river to catch our bus. I sprinkled mom and dad in the park right beside  where we were waiting for our bus, over a wall into a park below beside the river. Hope they like it there.
back on the bus and to the boat in no time. We put our newest treasures away and went for dinner with Judy and Bob. There were usually 6 to 8 people at a table  and every night we ate with some new couples.  

After dinner to the lounge for our talk about Bamberg the next day and some entertainment. To sleep with markets and churches in our dreams.
