Next morning we debarked and taxied to a hotel near the railroad station.  I braved a rainstorm to wash clothes at a laundromat using rudimentary German to get a kind customer to help negotiate the protocols for payment.

Now fully independent, we checked out the railroad station from which we were to depart the next day and the nearby city park.

On the tram back downtown for dinner, we met a gaggle of girls in their cups on a bachelorette party celebrating the engagement of one of them.  In answer to the question about their hats, they said “Cows..she’s marrying a farmer!”

The old City Center was bustling with another celebration–a Gay Pride parade.

We watched and listened and then darted into a shady courtyard adjacent to the Cathedral where we found a charming brewery restaurant.
