Nuremberg free time

We caught the shuttle bus into town for a little unstructured touring. We did have a guide on the bus that took us from where the bus parked to the edge of old town. He also provided some tips of where to go and what to see.

Nuremberg is known for its grilled sausages and gingerbread. Ninety percent of the old town was destroyed during WWII. Nuremberg is known for the toys it produces and according to our guide has the grumpiest people in the world. He said they assume the worst so they aren’t disappointed. “Not bad” is the best you can expect from a Nuremberger. Maybe I’m a Nuremberger.

Nuremberg has the longest city wall left standing in all of Europe and is 3.1 miles long.

Linda is an expert in gingerbread after our day here. She’s translating this for me. Apparently it says something about Nuremberg gingerbread is the best, everything else is crap.

I like a peach patrol. Always on the hunt for the best peaches!

We walked down a street with the original houses made from timber. It was so quaint!

Not sure what this means but it’s definitely representative of something.

Felt only right to grab a pretzel from a pretzel stand as we made our way back to the bus. The vendor said they had the best pretzels in Germany so I chose well! Although I think I will need to taste many more in order to judge that!
