We actually met several Peters at Rothenburg flying club. One of who you've heard about already, one of whom makes a cow
auto-scratcher, and the other is always up for a good time. With the latter we went to the small local Oktoberfest the night after we arrived, which was excellent fun, I schwenkte, there were dirndl's and lederhosen (also on women) galore, and everything was perfect except for us having forgotten our camera. Given that bier was sold in 1L quantities at 8% alcohol I was regretfully obliged to drink radler (shandy, i.e. mixed with lemonade), which was schade, as the beer really did have a good flavour. We also went on an awesomely awesome upside down and round about ride. Annnnnyway. This Oktoberfest Peter suggested we go to Bamberg.

| All nice towns seem to be on rivers, Bamberg is no exception. |

Bamberg was I have to say pretty awesome. I'm sad that I couldn't buy a Krug (or stein, anyway stoneware bier receptacle), because we don't have the space / weight / we're on a budget, but we had a good time trying some of those wacky biers (smoked bier anyone - it's a local specialty) and looking at those most festive buildings.

It was a fun day out and definitely to be recommended.
