Tourist Attractions in Bamberg; Heritage Buildings

Bamberg is a beautiful city that attract many tourists with it's UNESCO World Heritage Site and little Venice in the heart of the city. I was having a one day trip in Bamberg 2 days ago with my friends and we all love the city.  The restaurants are great, Shopping street are fabulous and the old city is really nice. Streets fulled with tourist from around the world and we took a lot of beautiful picture with a fascinating background.

Fews of my Snap-shoot. Feelings like make it as a postcard :)

The biggest and oldest Cathedral in Bamberg. A must visiting site.

The famous Little Venice

We can take a ride on the white boat through the river for cost of 8 Euro/persons. On the afternoon we also can watch people doing some kayaking on the river. 

Took my photos on the Old Town area with river, heritage building and beautiful garden as the background. Nice weather and amazing views. 

Enjoyed so many things in Bamberg even thought in a short visit. Hangout, Sightseeing, Shopping and dining. As my experience, one day is quite enough to explore the main tourist attractions in Bamberg. However, it will be more fun if can spend more time there. You won't feel boring because the city center is always full with people. The city is old but alive :)

I did snap few pictures on the architectural of the city. No editing for those pictures so that you can imagine the real Bamberg environment. Enjoy. Cheers

The Rose Garden. No flower yet but I bet it gonna be wonderful on summer :)

Shortcut to the Cathedral

The building behind me is so scary. You can see the root are all over the wall. Very old building and located a bit far from the city center. We were actually accidentally found this place.  ^^V

Speisen Getranke; Nice Restaurant in Bamberg, Germany

Speisen Getranke located strategically in the heart of Bamberg's city center as well as the tourism site.  It just 2 minutes walk from the little Venice and if you are came from the biggest Cathedral in Bamberg, You just need to find a round stair and this restaurant located exactly on the road after the stair.

The restaurant is the building with blue color window.

Here is the menu on the restaurant

They have multi-languages menu. In our table we have menu in German, English and Spanish language. The prices for the food are very good and the most importantly is we had a wonderful Lunch in this restaurant.

This restaurant is famous for it's Roasted Pork Shank ( menu no 1 in local specialty) with only 8.50 euro inclusive tax. The portion is big and it come with sauerkraut and potato dumpling. I don't like potato dumpling as for me it tasteless and strange. So I change my potato dumpling with fries :)

Here is the Famous Roasted Pork Shank:

Smell good, crispy outside and juice inside. However, for me it taste a bit salty. But my Friends who had the same dish said it was ok. So, its only me the ones who feels this dish a bit salty because I don't like salty food  ^^V

We were enjoying our lunch in this restaurant a lot because of  it's nicely prepared food and also very comfortable place. I saw in others table all dishes they have look very nice and serve professionally. Highly Recommended Restaurant.

Special Things in Germany

As you know sausages is everywhere in Germany. It is the most convenient food you can find here. Easy to find, prepare and of course all of them are tasty because till now I haven't find any Germany sausages that I don't like.

As in the picture above, in my left hand side is the famous Nurnberg sausage. It is small and it is a grill/ fried sausage. The taste is quite different and unique if we compare with other sausage. It is because most of the sausages are strong in the meat flavor where as the Nurnberg sausage is rich of spices therefore the meat flavour are not as strong as other sausages.

Below is the picture of the Nurnberg sausage when I tried it at the 1st time in Nurnberg city when I had city tour there few weeks ago.

On my right hand side you as can see is the white color packaging sausage. It is a typical boil sausage. I need only to boil the sausage few minutes in hot water, peal off the skin and it will ready to be consumed. It is a healthy sausage because they mix it with vegie inside and since we boil it therefore we can avoid oil intake. 

Here are another type of sausages that are currently inside my frig: 

The sigir (beef) sausage is a halal sausage. It also available in chiken flavor. As you know it is very difficult to find halal sausage in Germany as most of Germany sausage are made from pork meat. This sausage I found it a Turkish grocery store and the taste is almost the same with sausage that we can find in asia. That is why I like this sausage because I need to eat something that taste Asia and make me feels home :)

The other sausage is German pork sausage. Smell so nice when u grill it and of course it tasty.

This is my favorite dinner so far. Fresh salad mix with tomatoes and apples + 2 rolls of fried/grill sausages. Low carbo and yummy... 

The most I hate fact about staying here is I can't find Chili Padi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrrrrrrggggggggggg!!!!!!

Food without spicy taste is annoying!!!   hahhahahaha....

The chili above is the smallest chili I can find here and it not spicy at all. Really miss Chilli padi: small red chili. Super Hot Chili.

Also, everywhere here they consume tomatoes sauce!! it is very difficult to find Hot Chili sauce. Lucky I found this Super hot Sriracha Scharfe Chillisauce. Of course the taste and hotness not as good as 'Sambal ABC" (Indonesia brand.my favorite),  but it is better than nothing. 

Next thing that are unique and special for me here is that finally I got my Id and atm card with Filivi Alexander on it. ^^V

Most of my friend will know what I mean and for those who don't know the story,I will tell you now. My full name since I was born till november 2010 was Filivi. Yup, Filivi Only. I don't have family name. In my country it is a normal case even though sometime I face problem from my so-called "single word name" such as when I have to fill out personal detail when buying flight ticket. What I used to do is I filled up the first name and family name boxes with Filivi thus on my flight ticket it will appear as Ms. Filivi Filivi. It so funny hahahha...

I actually have no intention to add my family name on my name till I been accepted to be one of the representative from my campus for student exchange in Germany. It is because in Germany family name is very important and it is almost impossible to be in Germany as an individual without family name. I will absolutely face difficulty on applying my visa and other formal documents. Therefore on December 2011 I when to Indonesia Embassy in Kuala Lumpur and had my father name added into my name and I'm now Ms. Filivi Alexander. Love my new name :)

My 1'st German atm card as well as my 1'st atm card with Filivi Alexander written on the card. :)
