Lübeck, Bus Load of Peas

With Das Holstentor (Holsten Gate) in the distance, this bus painted as a can of peas, is a sight we have seen no where else.

Lübeck is rightly proud of her skyline of seven pointy church spires — two 410-foot steeples of Marienkirche, two of the Dom (cathedral), and one each for Jackobkirche (St. James), Petrikirche (St. Peters), and one for St. Aegidien. These steeples were all destroyed in WW II bombings and great effort was devoted to restoring to Lübeck, their famous skyline.

Of course if we include the towers of the Holstentor, the Rathaus, the Burgtor, and the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital, there are many more, but these are not tall enough to be seen from a great distance.
