Saturday July 2, 2016 - Our next stop was Bamberg, Germany. A tour of the old town provided us with visits to Bamberg Cathedral and the Bishops's Residenz. Bamberg is famous for its smoked beer, definitely an acquired taste. One treat was at our drop-off/pickup point, where a anime/manga convention provided us a glimpse of some of the more bizarre aspects of this cultural phenomenon.
On leaving Bamberg, we left the Main and entered the Main-Danube Canal. The canal is 100 miles long and allows ships to travel from the Main to the Danube at Kelheim crossing the European continental divide in the process.
