Bremen

Bremen was my idea. Many years ago, I did some research on the town, chosen pretty much at random. And now I had a chance to go there. I'm not the guy who turns down that sort of opportunity.

A train from Copenhagen to Hamburg (a long way) and then on to Bremen. The dusk light suggested there were good things to be seen here (and a fine bar serving Bremen's most famous export - Becks - did similar). But sadly we had just the one night. So (as ever) I awoke early and took some snaps. I was very taken with the place.
Roland (another famous icon of Bremen) was one of Charlemagne's knights - a paladin. He also had a famous sword called Durendal. Yes, another World Heritage Site...


The more you looked, the more there was to see...





But now Berlin. A different kind of city, indeed.
