Neurenberg

 We’re heading into the last stretch of this month long holiday, as we make our way back towards London we stopped over in Neurenbeg. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and headed into the old city. I hadn’t done much research about this city other than it was where Hitler did a lot of speech’s and was the headquarters of the Nazi party with huge military parade grounds. The stuff that I hadn’t looked into was the old city which again had these huge towers at the four corners of the city.



It was some sort of festival in Nuerenberg this weekend as the centre market was full of beer gardens and food vendors and amusement rides for the kids. Did see any sketchy Carnies though. From what we could figure out that it was some kind of festival celebrating fish as there were numerous vendors selling raw fish on a bun, herring, carp and other aquatic species. Pi stuck to some good old German sausages with sauerkraut and Karen tried their version of the Mcfilet of fish, both were pretty good. Lots of neat bars and beer gardens all around this part of town but it wasn’t crazy busy like Prauge. Again we walked a few miles wandering around looked a few more old churches for our short time here. I would definitely come back again as there were lots of things were not able to see.




Today is our longest travel day as we are taking the train to London with a 5 hour stop over on Brussels.

  1. This was also where the Nazi leaders were tried in international court after the Second World War.
