Woke up a little late after a rainy night had kept us awake, to find Sarah already up and having laid the table for breakfast complete with card wishing me happy father’s day, a complete surprise! The weather cleared a little so we walked back into town and began our tour of the old part. The place was very quiet, most shops were shut, only the restaurants were open. The old town was lovely, very Germanic old buildings some dating back to the 1300s, including the square with the cathedral (under renovation), cardinal’s palais and a very impressive merchant’s house, small back streets, some with a small canal running through them and a lot of art galleries, bars and restaurants. The town has a university and the campus is right on the edge of the old town, a great place to be! Sarah treated us to lunch back at the same café, this time it was very busy mostly with students eating breakfast! Afterwards we continued our walk, where we bought some delicious looking cakes for later, before making our way back to the van.

By the time we got back the sun had come out and Lynn and I sat outside having a coffee and enjoyed some sun. Internet ok but skype was very poor, no real signal at all.
