Catch up, Saturday May 21st. Alte Waage, Liberei und St Andreas

The oldest public library in BS (1422) stands near the old Weigh House and Store. (1534)  The Alte Waage was completely destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt between 1991 - 1994  A modern building which is used as a school, lurks behind the old exterior.

St Andreas stands nearby, where I had a long chat to an elderly lady about the twinning of Bath and Braunschweig.  The tower of this church can be climbed and gives a great view over the city.  I have yet to climb the stairs and take a look.

In the afternoon I became involved in a small demonstration against the Regimes in Turkey, Libya and Syria.  Banners, music, free cakes, noisy and interesting.
