Our tour didn’t begin until after lunch so we took a bus out to explore the city center of Nuremberg. There’s a lot of statues, art, shops and restaurants out here. Nuremberg is a very medieval town.
Our excursion today took us out to the Imperial Palace. While wondering around the castle our guide explained a lot of the castle defense features to us. Our tour didn’t take us through any of the castle’s buildings which was disappointing. It’s incredible how much thought the architect and builders put into the design of the castle. Because we explored the area before our tour, we had already been to a lot of the places that our tour guide took us.
After we got back from our excursion, we had dinner and I went back to the room and packed… I dislike packing!!! I’m not sure if I’m going to get any sleep tonight. We have a super early flight tomorrow.
This trip has been an absolute blast! I’ve never traveled to such a cold place before and boy was it super cold out here. The cold made me realize how much time we spend outside when traveling. On this trip I went to a classical concert and saw some gorgeous castles and palaces, visited a monastery and an abbey and had the best bratwurst sandwich I’ve ever had. This has also been the first time I’ve ever celebrated a new year while traveling. That was one of the highlights of my trip!
Here’s to many more!
Until my next adventure, Cheers!
