Ringhotel Loews Merkur Nuremberg

... meet up, we headed for the high-speed ICE train of the Deutsche Bahn that would get us to Frankfurt in no time at all.<br><br>Pam and Glenn Said:<br><br>We both enjoyed this medieval town dating back to 1071. We walked the old town within the walls and saw vistas of the town from the old castle. We enjoyed great espresso, one of Chad&#8217;s favorites at a little café. We now get to ride the DB train to Frankfurt.

... then lay the finished piece on a conveyor belt that runs each piece, one after another, through an oven that cools the pieces down at a very slow rate (over all taking 12 hours if I remember correctly). Then you have the finished piece.<br><br>We also got to see a guy working on stems for already made glasses. The stems ranged in shapes and sizes, the most interesting being the ones that were filled with Swarovski crystals (shiny! Haha). After the demonstration, we wandered around in ...

... 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. <br><br>

... There was even an ex hab on the team (Andre Nasredine) who scored a goal for us! To make the night even better we won 6-2 with some awesome goals and awesome saves!<br><br>Very happy with our decision to return to Nuremburg for the hockey game we left the following morning for Vienna. It was a long trip so we cut it in half and spent a night in Linz, Austria. Another gorgeous place to pass right on through!

... The cheering was intense and we could hear it all from the campsite&#8230;pretty fun! The campsite was very nice except for the fact that it was surrounded by acorn trees and we were constantly in fear of our lives! Lol&#8230;well just getting a bump on the head! We did get a few nice donks on the camper but it survived. One thing we did notice&#8230;no squirrels&#8230;very odd!<br><br>We explored the ...

... to do it, so we paid the 3 Euro. And boy was it worth it! We liked the exercise and didn&#8217;t think it was that much, and the views were way better than from below. We could even see all four towers along the city walls.<br><br>After we descended the tower stairs, we also went to see the deep well, which came with the ticket. It was 150 meters deep, and the German guide dropped some water into the well. He started with just a couple of drops, which were much louder than I ...

... fine view of the entire town, and we took many more pictures. I spotted the airport I would be leaving from in just 2 days, and figured the subway ride out to it wouldn't take long. Next to the tower was the well building. We got to look down the 140 meter deep well, as the tour guide poured some water in it, and it took 5 or 6 seconds for it to hit bottom. Then, he lowered down a metal tray with four large candels on it and used a mirror to direct sunlight ...

... 1.06.<br><br>We had crossed the Neckar River on the way in and went a short distance to find a nice spot next to the river and a fountain to stop for a picnic. We had bought a couple of cans of weissbier (white beer) from the petrol station. Afterwards, we walked the short distance to the old town and looked around the town hall (Rathaus) and cathedral. We had a break of a couple of hours altogether, then drove on to Nurnberg. We were using only the GPS navigation ...

Nuremberg was awesome. We stayed with a friend of Burgies, watched the Turkey v. Croatia game which was really boring until the very end where it became ridiculous. Afterwards we went to a 2 story, 3 dance floor club which rocked this world. We were supposed to be on the train for Munich at 9 but ended not getting up until 11:30

... sections of buildings for the different functions of the castle. it was built around 1050 and used by royalty through the 1500s. we had dinner at a really cool restaurant where you watch them make your food from scratch and later we went to a big beer hall and taught Chris how to play Spades. we could have spent a lot more time here. i definitely will come back here and see all of the museum instead of rushing through, take a tour of ...
