And now for something different ---
Our friends took us out for a day trip to Amberg. She had spent 4 years there in a Catholic Girls Boarding School and wanted to show us around. It is actually a very attractive place that we would probably never have got to otherwise. It is a little under 70 km from Nuremberg.
To avoid the risk of starvation on such a long and hazardous journey some supplies were necessary. Homemade of course. We were gifted the tin and the remainder of the biscuits after our day out and bought it back home to Perth.

The Schulkirche that was attached to the, now closed, boarding school. Apparently one of the most important rococo churches in Germany. Consecrated in 1699 and the rococo decorations added in 1758.

The Schweinchenbrunnen. You can see by the ice that it was still a bit chilly.

The Eh'häusl - marriage house.
Built in 1728, the 2 metre wide house was sold between young couples to circumvent local laws prohibiting marriage between poor people who did not own their own home.
It is now claimed to be the smallest luxury hotel in the world.
