22.11.20, Engehalbinsel near Tiefnau: Roman ampitheatre, in the grounds of a pyramidal modern church. I did get one photo of the church but between the light as we were coming back and the fact it's a prime example of 'weird and yet drab' modern evancelical architecture, it wasn't worth uploading. Just trust me, it's both imposing and ugly. I fondly imagine the original Roman temple was neither...

"Marcellus, why don't we have a pretty temple?"

"This one does the job."

"But it's not like the one in Londinium. That was a pretty one - nice tiles, beautiful statues, mosaics on the walls."

"Complain, complain, complain. If you don't like it, Julia, you can just go back to Londinium."
