Overseas travel plans

Quick review of Nuremberg, pretty good option for a long weekend visit - can do most of the sights in that time. Stayed just outside the old city walls (next to the railway museum) which was a good option - could walk anywhere in the old town within 20 minutes, and did a longer walk out to Zeppelinfeld which was just under an hour. Very Bavarian/traditional/conservative so not much chance to get into much trouble. Extremely quick and easy to get to and from the airport. Albrecht Drurer’s house/museum was very interesting although bit disappointing how few of his original pieces they had.

All of the Christmas markets and stuff was still up and running when we arrived…until Saturday when the entire city was shut down. Turns out that Bavaria is one of only three states in Germany where Epiphany/Twelfth Night is a public holiday. Who knew…
