Münster

We met Terence while camping in Riga. After a couple of beers together he invited us to come and stay with him in Münster.
Making up for the extended stay in Berlin we decided to take up his offer and catch a train to his place and from there we are only 200 km to Amsterdam, our next stop.
Not knowing anything about the Münster I was surprised to see young people everywhere. Later I found out there is a huge university and the average age in the city is 24. Münster was voted Germanys most bicycle friendly city

The central station has an innovative bicycle parking station with bike storage, workshop and bike wash.
Just to top things off the Münster Giro (bicycle race) happened to be on



Sitting in a beer garden overlooking sailing boats on the lake stein in one hand bratwurst in the other it was easy to see how Münster is regarded as one of the most "liveable" cities.
A big thanks to Terence for taking in a couple of "strays" and making us feel at home in this beautiful city.
