We have been having great weather here in Bamberg and I have been out and about just enjoying the city. I ate lunch across the street at Bolero. I had 3 of their tapas - chicken wings, serrano ham, choizo sausage. All were good and with 2 beers it made a great lunch. I ate at an Italian place on Dominicanner strasse last night. I don't remember the name. It was good but most of all I like the set up there. There is only in-door dining, which is weird for Germany, but they had the windows and doors open, which is also weird for Germany. I had veal saltimbuco, which is veal with ham in a very light sauce. It came with a small salad and potatoe. I drank a proseco and aperol to start and then a half-liter Lambrusco with dinner. It all cost me 25e.
I have to mention one more thing about Bamberg. That is, do not expect to sleep a lot while you are here. One of the big churches here rings its bells all day, every day. They start at 7:00 am and do not stop until 10:00 pm. They ring every hour and every quarter hour and often at times in between. Yesterday they began ringing at 3:40 pm??? They do not play a tune or anything, they just ring. It is about 5 bells all ringing at once and it is just noise. Sometimes it is quick but other times, like 7:00 am, it goes on for 3/4 minutes. I don't know why they do it but they do. So if you are here and you stay up late one night just know that you will be woken up at 7:00 am by the bells.
