We arrived yesterday by train, yet another awful ride on the German trains, and were delighted that the hotel was as cute as the pics on the internet and that we had a great location for walking to all of the sights in old town. Dave is also in Germany for the next 10 days. We are having Christmas and New Year together. It is fun to be in another country with friends - have really only ever done it with GB.
Last night we ventured to the wall - well a part of it - which has now turned into the red light district of Nuremberg. Very strange place indeed. We managed to be completely weirded out in a very strange bar where the older bar tender lady offered to strip for Dave at a cost of 60 euro. We politely finished our drinks and made haste out of the venue. Lots of girls hanging out of windows wearing very little, offering...well who knows, we are in Germany after all...
We went for a Kepab and some water instead.
Today was the last day of the Christmas Market. It didn't have the same party atmosphere of the Hamberg or Weimar markets. A lot of tourists and not a lot of charm. We did try new glühwein flavours though - cherry and blueberry. My recommendation would be the standard with a hearty shot of rum - its the best. Everything now is closed for Christmas. We couldn't find anywhere open for Christmas Eve so we are having a throw together meal in our hotel room of cheese, olives, sausage, bread, sauerkraut and a nice organic Franconian red wine, recommended by our friendly and passionate Deli / speciality store owner.
