And finally, Münster
On Sunday, we took the train to Münster. We changed trains in Hamm. You can see the sort of weather early spring can bring in northern Europe:
Münster itself was very nice, with its own cathedrals and sights. This is a the middle of the town:
The cathedral has a very impressive clock in it that keeps track of the movement of the planets, sun, and moon, as well as telling time. It even has a skeleton that rings a bell for each quarter-hour:
There’s a big university in Münsterone of the largest in Germany. Here are Robin and Robert trying to find it. Hahaha:
At the end of our trip, we rested at a little park by the lake, enjoying the inspiring sculptures there:
I’ll do my best to go to a few pubs this weekend so the pub pictures can return.
Oh, and happy birthday to the Queen!

is that munster the same as the cheese? or Herman?
I like the big baseballs. U-S-A! U-S-A!
Astronomical Clocks are fascinating. What never ceases to amaze me is the geegaws people put on them (dancing skeletons, etc.) when the fact that a clock could be designed which all-in-one keeps track of basically the entirety of movement of the visible heavens is impressive enough.
That said, a dancing skeleton is pretty cool.
God save the Queen, her facist regieme, it made you a moron ...
