The photos on the previous post are from Hildesheim where we stayed last night. We took a side trip to Gotha, where there is a UNESCO World Heritage castle/museum. It had a wonderful collection of religious art and altar carvings as well as work by local renaissance artists, like the Gotha Lovers painting that Alan put on facebook. As well as that, there were to rooms of the palace, all furnished with original furnishings - beautiful antiques and comfortable looking rooms - not the opulance we have seen in other places - this was more a home than a palace.
Then we went to Hamelyn where there were rats in the streets ( but not live ones). It is a very pretty place and we had a lovely morning there. Now we are in Bremen for a couple of nights. We have a fantastic corner room with big windows and great views. Its stopped raining, but its still cold.
