It took me some time to upload the images I have below. I guess my Pc is working very slow again. Finally, we decided late this afternoon to visit Regensburger Herbstdult. Since the weather was nice and friendly today, we drove to Regensburg to witness this said festival. Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage city in Bavaria, Germany celebrates a so-called Dult festival twice a year in May and in September. The one being celebrated in September is called Herbstdult, "Herbst" which means Autumn and Dult is simply a name given to this festival.

Since it is Sunday, there were a lot of people who visited the fair today. Before we left at around 9:00 PM, we noticed that that the people are getting lesser. It is probably because the next day Monday which is a working day. This festival is also a family and child-friendly festival compared to Munich's Oktoberfest wherein most visitors are adult people. I would also like to mention that Regensburger Herbstdult is still not over. This year's Herbstdult runs from August 27 to September 12, 2010. You still have time to visit it and have fun!

Here are the images I took today.

Finally, the Pinay-German blogger had the chance to visit the city of Luxembourg. It was another dream put into reality. I have a lot to tell regarding our recent trip. I also have a lot of images to share to my family and friends in facebook. Sad to say, I can't still find time to upload it.

Luxembourg despite being a small country has still a lot of things to offer to its tourists and visitors. To mention a few are shopping, dining, culture and history and a lot more. I wish to buy some blu ray movies in this city but we don't have enough time to go to the different shops there. We only spent around three hours in this city and I believed that it is not enough to see all the corners of Luxembourg. We even spent around 40 minutes in one of the restaurants, eating and relaxing from a long trip from Brussels. I still wish to visit this city in the future.

Watch out for more images and information to come in my Euro Travel and Adventure Blog. Here is one of the images taken during our visit last August 18, 2010.

Is summer sale over in Germany? I guess not! As we went to Regensburg last week, we still saw a lot of shops that are having summer sale fever. In fact, you can shop for summer clothing for up to 75% cheaper. This is the best time for me to go shopping. This is also the great time to save some money when buying cheap clothing. I am still waiting that a Samsung digital camera that I like will be cheaper soon. I don't have much time to browse online for cheap cameras because I am quite busy with a lot of things at the moment. I also noticed that Autumn and winter collections are now being displayed on a lot of shopping establishments nearby. Good to know, I don't need to shop for one now.

The Hohenzollern Bridge, known in German as Hohenzollernbrücke is a bridge crossing Rhine river in Cologne, Germany. The said bridge is now use only as railway and pedestrian. It is the most frequently used railway bridge in Germany.

I finally had the chance to visit Cologne for the second time last August 21-22, 2010 and saw this historical bridge once again. Below is the image I took during our visit.

If you live in your own house in Germany or in any part of Europe, you will know that renovating it can be very expensive. The materials and the labor costs are extremely expensive here. But if you know how to do the renovation self, for sure you will save a lot of money. It happened to us as we changed our old windows with energy-saving ones. Thanks goodness that hubby did everything in dismantling and installing our new windows. He needs to find next time cheap laminate flooring for the other two rooms in the house. It also need to be changed and fixed. Imagine saving a lot of money when you will do the renovation yourself. That is another story when you don't have any idea of doing it or maybe when you have a lot of money to pay for the labor costs and materials. We are just thankful that we are slowly renovating our old house from time to time when financial matters are available.

I finally had the chance to visit Bonn, the 19th largest city in Germany located in North North Rhine-Westphalia. There was a story why we ended up staying here for an overnight during our Europe tour. I want to introduce first the Minster of Bonn named after St. Martin. It is considered to be one of Germany's oldest churches built between the 11th and 13th centuries. Here is an image I took during our visit last August 20, 2010.

Originally the Minster was the collegiate church of Ss. Cassius & Florentius, who were Roman legionnaires of the legendary all-Christian Theban Legion. The legion's garrison, according to legend, was in the Egytian town of Thebes. Roman Emperor Maximianus Herculius ordered the legion to march to Gaul and assist in quelling rebels from Burgundy. At some point during their march the legion refused to follow the emperor's orders to either kill fellow Christians or to worship Maximianus Herculius as a god. As a result, a large number of legionaries were martyred in Agaunum, now named Saint Maurice-en-Valais after Saint Maurice. According to legend Saints Cassius and Florentius, who were under the command of Saint Gereon, were beheaded at the present location of the Bonn Minster for their religious beliefs. more here
