25 September - Regensburg on the Danube

Our trek across Europe continues and today we reached Regensburg. We received some good news yesterday, there is enough water beyond Regensburg to continue without changing ships. Europe has experience a hot and dry summer and there has not been enough water in some places for navigation, but now it look like we stay with the Monarch Queen all the way.
Regensberg is yet another UNESCO World Heritage listed city here in Bavaria. It escaped bombing in WWII so it retains buildings and structures which date all the way back to the Roman period, nearly 2000 years. Once again our local guide took us around the city and explained the history of the most important buildings including the magnificent cathedral. The weather is getting steadily colder but once again we've escaped in rain, in fact blue skies prevailed today.
