Arvena Messe Hotel Am Messezentrum Nuremberg

They Said:

Even if for only one damp and chilly night, we finally got to see another city in Bavaria. Nuremberg is mostly a bombed out shell of its former self, redone since the war with more modern style architecture but still retaining the city's original mapping. This means tons of streets that are pedestrian only, and for the most part, this is how we enjoyed the city – simply by walking its ...

Ahh… another week complete… another weekend to begin…

This week has been one of the hardest since I got here. It is about mid semester and it seems like tensions are running high with everyone. I guess that the large amount of traveling that I'm doing is taking a toll on my body, and my mind too. There is just so much to be done, and only spending 50% of my time at home (in Regensburg) doesn’t quite give me enough time for it. It has also hit me that I don ...

... and took buses to Nuremberg. We visited the Zeppelin Field where the big Nazi Rallies were held and the Hall of Justice where the Nuremberg Trials took place. Bought a souvenir pin at Market Square and had cokes at a bistro while waiting for the bus to take us back to the ship.

... the game. First of all, the germans know how to cheer!!! An arena seating maybe 10000 with more cheering then a Habs game! Each player was announced and all the fans chanted their last name! They had intricate drumming and clapping cheers! It was really fun to get into even though we couldn’t always follow or understand! By the end we were swinging our scarves around and shouting the players names ...

... has to offer. We bought a spatula (scrambled eggs) and some fruits!

So we have had brautwurst and currywurst and everywurst possible in the past few days! We decided to splurge and went to a snazzy Chinese restaurant for supper! This is only worth mentioning because I ate the biggest most delicious eggroll I have ever had ever!

We will be coming back to Nuremberg but for now on to Stuttgart!!!!

... our stuff. The sun had just set as we rang the front door bell and waited to check in. A slow moving, gray haired lady greeted us and gave us our keys, and that was it, no forms to sign, or deposits for keys. This was going to be a good couple days.

We had seperate single rooms here, with sinks in the room, and a bath/shower on the hall. I was on the third floor, Erin on the fourth, up a creaky, ancient staircase. I stowed my gear and went to check ...

... than the Tryp Hotel in Munich. Our room on the first floor faced the road and we quickly realised that we were going to have to listen to the traffic all night. Fortunately there wasn't much activity in our area once peak hour was over and we weren't kept awake as we had feared. After settling in we walked towards the old town in search of sustenance. It was a Sunday and just about everything was closed. Once through the city gate and inside the Altstadt we found a cafe. I hadn't ...

... told me I should unzip my jacket because they don't let everyone in. (this was bizarre i thought) He checked my ID too. It cost five euro as a student to get in. It was so crowded in there. It was mainly kids my age dressed pretty nicely. WE had to check our coats which cost two euro. We waited in a long line to use the gross bathrooms. Then we searched for her friend who actually wasn't very hard to find. They talked for a bit and then we went to the ...

... Bratwurst for lunch (the best in the world!) and then after a fierce passing wind/rainstorm we head to the Bauhaus museum. I’m not sure how familiar ya’ll are with the Bauhaus movement (I didn’t really know much), but it basically seems to be the roots of modern architecture and functional household objects and designs. It’s just another important area that puts Weimar on the map. Wow, this city never stops amazing me ...

... trials which were held after the war ended and the prosecuted where exacuted. Back to the vans for lunch and decided to drive to Plzen in Czech Republic. Crossed the border with no troubles and bought a toll sticker to last us the whole time. In Plzen found the info centre and then drove to a nearby lake to have a swim as temp was mid 30's. Parked up and walked to the lake, got charged when entering which was weird, we soon ...
