Ostin päiväksi ratikkalipun, ja kiersin pitkin kaupunkia: etelässä, pohjoisessa, joen takana. Päädyin sitten syömään illalla vielä eteläiseen esikaupunkiin, jossa oli mukavasti ravintolaelämää ja hyvät ratikkayhteydet. Tihkusateinen ilma jatkui. Suurin osa vanhoista taloista jo kunnostettu, mutta vielä siellä täällä näkee taloja, joille ei ole tehty sota-ajan jälkeen mitään.... read more

Matkapäivä on puoliksi odottamista. Ensiksi herätys ajoissa, jotta ehtii pakata. Sitten ajoissa linja-autoasemalle, jotta ei myöhästy bussista, jolla on ajoissa kentällä. Onneksi nykyään saa aikaa kulumaan netissä. Olin ostanut lipun Leipzigin junaan, johon ehti ajoissa. Juna oli myös halvempi, jokin yksityinen firma. Majapaikka olikin sitten Leipzigin aseman vieressä. Kerkesin käydä kaupungilla syömässä. Oli koko ajan sateen uhka, mutta lopultakin tuli vain tihkusadetta. Olin siis vuokrannut kolmeksi yöksi asunnon 16. kerroksesta 26-kerroksisesta talosta 30 euron päivähinnalla.... read more

We stayed in Leipzig in 2010 and walked the music trail and visited Bach, Mendelssohn and Schumann sites. This time we only spent one full day here and decided to take it easy after Berlin. Apart from walking around the small city area, we visited the old town hall on the Markt. This building is part of the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum and is a beautiful Renaissance building with a baroque tower. Apart from the ballroom and council chamber there is an exhibition taking one through Leipzig from medieval times to the present spread over 2 floors. The peaceful revolution of 1989 against the GDR started here. One place that we did revisit was the Coffee Baum cafe, an old coffee house and museum that serves wonderful coffee of course and delicious warm apple streudel! After 6 weeks ... read more

Leipzig Germany 26 May 2013 As it was still raining, we drove around Leipzig rather than stopping and walking. Leipzig is one of Germany’s leading commercial towns, but also for culture and learning. It has Germany’s biggest train station, the Hauptbahnhof. We picked out the Museum der Bildenden which houses a collection of masterpieces created by German masters. As it was Sunday, it was easy to drive around. There were occasions we were on the same road as the trams. We sometimes wondered if there were any accidents between trams and cars. Out trusty GPS took us around the city centre. We saw how beautiful the city is. The Germans have created some beautiful buildings, parks and very efficient public transport. After completing the drive around and being a little disappointed that the weather wasn’t inviting ... read more

So things in Rehfeld have calmed down as the horses now know me better and have realised I will only accept good behaviour, I rarely (touch wood) have major issues and now we have had Christmas and New Year and Gretchen (Gerlind's daughter) is home I have a whole day off to go adventuring in Leipzig. A nice sleep in, breakie at 9 and a quick race to the train station with Gretchen's advice that unfortunately there is work on the train lines and I will need to catch a bus half way through....but don't worry everyone will be getting off doing the same thing. No worries, seasoned (not peppered) traveller here! My first task was to locate the main church in the central part of town. I had seen it last time when Chrissy and ... read more
