Munching in Munster...

On our last day in Germany we visited the historic city of Munster. Unfortunately we only had a couple of hours to explore before setting off for the airport, but it was long enough to get a flavour of the Old Town area, and to explore the local churches and Cathedral.

The buildings have such ornate facades, and cute little shops and cafes nestled under their archways. Although the City was badly damaged during the Second World War, it has been sympathetically restored, sometimes with a clever mixture of modern and traditional design.

The University buildings are pretty impressive too, parts of it are housed in the former Castle buildings...

And, umm, yes, the little pavement cafes serve great coffee and AMAZING plum torte, but unfortunately that disappeared a little too quickly for me to photoblog ;)
