Brussels
2023年9月30日, ベルギー ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
They were unfortunately setting up for a marathon in the Grand Place, so it spoiled the ambiance a bit, but still almost absurdly gorgeous buildings. And yes, I also got a picture of the Manneken Pisもっと詳しく

2023年10月1日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
Holy cathedral, Batman! The arch and floor mosaic are leftover from the area's Roman past (the mosaic is still exactly where it was found, has never been moved). Really neat riverside park. Happenedもっと詳しく

Rhine River cruise
2023年10月4日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F

The town itself, along with a couple of nearby viewpoints (in the middle of a vineyard, which was pretty cool; Bacharach is an historic wine-producing area).

Rothenburg Museum (and shop)
2023年10月6日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
Housed in an old monastery, the building was as interesting as the exhibits (which were surprisingly varied and included a hell of a weaponry collection). Note the painting with my door from earlierもっと詳しく
Rothenburg medieval wall circuit
2023年10月6日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial
2023年10月12日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F
