After a wonderful breakfast in Cologne, we took our coach bus again for a brief trip to the train station, with a beautiful sunrise, where we boarded a three hour bullet train to Nuremberg.
We saw some beautiful countryside and arrived to Nuremberg. We walked through parts of the city and grabbed lunch at an open air market in the central square. The older part of the city had a great European charm.
Then we took a vigorous walk through the city and up a few hills, road the bus out to the Nuremberg rally grounds, propaganda museum and started to learn more about the impact of the Nazi movement before and during WWII.
Then we made our way back to our hotel, where we checked in and where we will be for three nights! Yay! After a little rest time in rooms, we made our way into Munich on the subway to dinner where we had what can only be described as a very authentic Bavarian experience in a massive beer hall where we had excellent food. It was the first dinner out of nine dinners where we did not need to “shush” the students because the whole place was much louder than we were!!
Now we are off to bed to rest up for another full day tomorrow!
