What time is it?


With the changing to summertime we had to check the correct time more often.

The first public clock installed already in 1370 here in Paris you can see above. It is shiny and newly renovated as part of the Conciergerie.  Compare how it looked before which you can see here: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/p/m/1ba807/    Not only was this historic clock renovated during the last two years but its tower and the whole front of the Conciergerie was refreshed too.

The days of the Easter holidays in Paris 'flew by' and we return to Munich where we will check the sundial on the Frauenkirche if the time is correctly changed to summertime.....
I will remember the advice:


"Mach es wie die Sonnenuhr, zaehl die heitren Stunden nur!" (Do as the sundial does, only count sunny times.)
