According to the brochure at the tourist office, this is a small yet relatively unknown mediaeval city which features hanging gardens, a Belfry recognised as a World Heritage Site, holds water jousting competitions and elects a mayor every six years.
Clearly if we were to see it all we would have to wait for how ever long it takes until next mayoral election. Instead, we elected to walk the tourist path, to see what we could see.
Not at all clearly marked but on a beautifully drawn map, we followed the path up the front of the town, along the ramparts, through the middle, down the other side and even back again, picking our way through the gardens as we went. In doing so we did see all of the things that the map thought worth seeing and a few more to boot. We really should spend time just letting it all sink in. Therefore tomorrow if our usual logic prevails we will be off as soon as we are able, leaving plenty to absorb on our return at some future time.
