THE BOOKMAN IS EN ROUTE PARIS - BAYREUTH
After five wonderful days in this most beautiful of cities it is time to catch the train - three trains actually - to
Bayreuth (town square pic above) which is of course world-famous for its annual Bayreuth Festival at which performances of operas by the 19th century German composer Richard Wagner are presented. We are attending two operas featuring the NZ tenor Simon O'Neill.
I am not sure of our WiFi facilities there so there may be a gap in postings to the blog until I am sorted.
Thanks in advance for your patience. More when I am reconnected.
