December 19 –Nuremberg, Germany

Everyone was able to get up in time for some breakfast
before it was time to board our bus for the drive to the boat.  There was a lot of snow on the ground…looks
magical.  Hopefully we will have a white
Christmas.

We met Tara and Claus and were off right on time for the two
hour drive to Nuremberg.

We were on board the AmaVerde by about noon.  The boat had some food and drinks available for a light lunch.  Tara arranged for a taxi to pick up whoever wanted to head into Nuremberg.  Liam wasn’t interested in going so Mary stayed on the boat to look after everyone’s carryon luggage. 

The group went in to Nuremberg...

to the Christmas market in a central square.  As we remembered from our last trip to Europe for the Christmas Markets...it was magical.

The market square had a large fountain at one corner, the Schoner Brunnen

At one end of the plaza was the Fruenkirche.

From down the street they could see the St Lorenz Church.

They also had some famous Nuremberg sausages at a sausage
house.  Nuremberg sausages are about the
size of a large finger.  The story is that
they were made small so that they could be pushed through a keyhole to feed
prisoners.

The group was back late afternoon and we were all able to
check into our rooms.  There are three other couples in the group and we will met up with them in the lounge before dinner. 

 After dinner we were all quickly in bed…jet lag certainly isn’t fun. 
The boat is staying overnight at Nuremberg so we will be touring there
tomorrow.
