Breakfast at the Garden Café and got ready to go out. Temperature was supposed to be low 50s so we prepared with layers. Took the backpack to make it easier for the loose items. I don’t carry a purse, just keep credit cards/room card in a shirt pocket. Of course, camera case was around my waist.
Walked off the ship after they swiped our cards and asked where the #26 bus would be stopping. We were directed to where people were standing. On the way, a girl asked us if we were interested in taking the HOP ON, HOP OFF sightseeing bus. Cost us 25 Euros (each) for a tour (1 ½ hours) of the city sites, plus shuttle to and from the ship and city hall square. We could get off along the way but decided not to. Worked out great for us as we were able to listen to guided tour (headsets on bus have 11 languages) and take pictures/video along the way. It reached the City Hall Square, so we got off and walked through the shopping area, the oldest pedestrian mall in Europe. Went into a department store and found free toilets. That’s a TRAVEL TIP we tell everyone who travels to non-US countries where they usually charge for using toilets. Find a department store; most of the time they have FREE TOILETS. (Always seems strange to me that anyone would charge to use one, especially when many of those aren’t clean in the first place.)
Continued walking, bought a few souvenir items, took more pictures, and returned to where we got off the bus. Included in our ticket was a shuttle to take us back to where the NCL Sun was docked. Exactly as we boarded the bus, it started to RAIN. Great timing! At the dock, no rain. Did great with that one!
