After the blackbird has flown away, we continued our walk. There was this bicycle leaning against the wall of vines.
We took our time to admire unfamiliar flowers.
Hendrik told me that is an old smoke bucket from East Germany. It is a noisy, smoky, fuel guzzling bone shaker. I forgot what is the made he told me. After the unification, this car disappeared. Now, they treated as a relic, a museum on wheel and is again in demand because of all its notorious qualities. Kind of amusing.
You can see graffiti on the white wall as well as the wall next to the car. It is very sad and upsetting to see this beautiful place being disfigured with ugly graffiti. If this is my town, I will take such pride in it and will do my utmost to preserve it.
It is now used for advertisement. But what is it advertising? Anyone know German out there? Is it advertising for a gourmet café or Buddhist meditation?
Whatever its fault, you can say it don’t have a smiley front. Reminded me of one of the cars in the cartoon movie. It is a quaint little vehicle.
By now we have walked to the edge of the town. It is not a very large town. Across the road, you’ll come to the sea and the port. We did not head towards that direction and instead turn back and took another path to return to where we started.
The tower gate’s architecture showed a Moorish influence.
This is the other gate into the town.
We reentered the town and came across this lovely secluded alley that is higher than the street it is joining to. It is quiet and very cool. It is such a pleasant feeling to be walking leisurely through this historic town.
We can’t wait to discover more of this town where every turn is a pleasant surprise.
