Lüneburg

This morning I went to Lüneburg, a nice small city near Hamburg.
From Harburg, it took around a half hour to get there (by train).
I went there by myself; only me, the camera (unfortunately without the tripod, where I just remembered to bring it when I was already in the train station :( ), and my powerful (just now, because of that 512mb memory card :p) xda.. :)

First thing to do after I arrived there was buying the postcard.
It helped me to find which places I should visit on that city.
Well, actually it helped a little, because still I could not find the way to get to those places..
So, next thing to do was to find the city map, or tourist map.
I could find it outside the station, but still I couldn't decide which place to visit first.
First it's because too difficult to locate the place on the map and find out which transportation I should take to get there; Second, because the weather was really not friendly at all! It's very cold...
As a result, I only can think of one place to visit: the Rathaus. :)

Rathaus is the 'balai kota' in Bahasa Indonesia or the city-government building (I don't know whether those english words are correct to explain about the building..).
I went there by bus because I thought the place is quite far. But actually it's not that far.. not more than 1 km then you're already in the city centre.

Lüneburg has no many places to visit. Most of them are the old church and other old building.
The rathaus should be beautiful (based on what I saw on the postcard), but unluckly I couldn't go inside. It closed in winter time.
Other building are churches. Mikael kirche and Johanis kirche. Both are lutheran (protestan) church. In Johanis kirche we can find some pictures and statues, and especially Maria with baby Jesus.
Besides the churches, Lüneburg still has many old buildings. Most of them are used for shops and restaurants.

After walking around, I couldn't stand to buy the cake when I walked pass the backery..
So my lunch was a strawbery-vanilie cake which is tasted good.
Then also I found a small cafe on the corner of a street. It's nice cafe.. and a nice hot kakao.. :)


Well, didn't know what to do then.. so I decided to go home.
On the way to the train station, finally I dared to ask a German girl to take my picture..
at least I have one picture of me when I was there :)
