Speyer

Speyer has a compact centre which is dominated by the Kaiserdom, a number of churches and the Altpörtel (Old town gate). It is really small with one main street in the city centre. We spent 3 hours there and it was more than sufficient to see all=)


The Speyer Cathedral or Kaiserdom is a very large and imposing basilica of red sandstone in Speyer, Germany. The Cathedral remains the largest Romanesque church. In 1981, the cathedral was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List of culturally important sites.



We went tracking through the forest! Was really fun! Would have been a better experience if i had shoes on... Was wearing my pair of sandals from URS! I was really glad that it did not give way!



A bunch of adorable kids came hopping and running down the trek through the forest as we were taking a break at the drinks kiosk in the middle of the forest! All of us gave them our 110% attention! Cameras started flashing and all of us were engaged on small talks! They were exceptionally adorable as they hydrated themselves with their little yet colourful bottles=)
