Bavaria D2
Continental breakfast at the B&B Hotel before venturing out to do the walking tour of the old town of Nuremberg where Hitler held his rallies in WWll. Firstly we went to the old wall but unfortunately could not find a way to get onto it. We did however come across a sign saying no photographs finding that we had strayed into the red light district with young ladies ( I think) leaning out of the windows with large body parts hanging over the window cill. We did a hasty retreat keeping our eyes down and went to the St Lorenz Church,which was bombed during the war,and luckily rebuilt to its former magnificence with its twin towers. There are many old magnificently restored buildings around town which are unique to this part of Europe. The Imperial Castle gave some great views over the city after a tough climb up to the ramparts. The bridges over the river were many and quite quaint. We stopped next to one by the Bratwurst Museum, on Bratwurstgasse, for a snack at lunchtime only to find they only took cash, so beware everyone that you cannot always use your credit card. The Hauptmarkt has the Frauenkirche at one side with its magnificent clock which at noon strikes the hour with a display of princes dancing around the Roman Emperor like a cuckoo clock. Alongside is the Schoner Brunnen, which is a magnificent gold plated replica fountain with no water. At Weisser Turm Square is the Marriage Carousel Fountain with large sculptures of a family undressed with a goat in front of the ‘White Tower’, actuated sandstone. After all this waking my bad leg was giving me instructions to abandon, so off I went to lie down in the recovery position for an indeterminate amount of time. Is it dinner time yet?
