Nuremberg, Last Day

We're tired. No idea why, but we are. We were thinking maybe we'd take the train to Wurzburg today to see the palace there and et cetera, but we're kind of Baroque-d out.

We decided we'd just walk around, take some more pictures. We did want to see the Wöhrdehr See, a lake south of where we were staying, and just outside the Altstadt. We also wanted to walk through the park areas near there, and then down to this place I saw on the map, the Zeltnerschloss. No idea what it is, except that a schloss is palace, sometimes also used for castle, so why not?

This all turned out to be less thrilling than I'd hoped. It was drizzling. The paths through the park were fine. We should have walked around the lake some more, but didn't. It was very much an urban spot, and would have been much nicer in better weather with things opened. (Ooops, Sunday)

We found the schloss. It was an interesting walled structure in the middle of a swampy area. Later, when I looked up what it was back in the apartment, I learned currently it's a cultural center that holds various events. Before, it had been a private residence, typical, it was said "suburban fortified manor house".

After that, we walked back towards the Altstadt. We passed some interesting buildings, then ran into some major construction that took some time to get around. Finally, we made it back, coming up alongside the main train station.

We walked along the walls, along the river, looked at the various towers and bridges. Neither of us felt much like going to a museum, and the art bunker wasn't open, so that was our day. We were so lackadaisical, we had hamburgers for lunch. They were good, so were the fries.

For dinner though-- Mexican food. Not bad, but lacking in cumin.

We cleaned up the apartment and packed up. We planned on a quick breakfast, then one last run through of doing breakfast dishes, etc. We had to take the tram out to the west side of the city to pick up our rental car. It's supposed to be an automatic, and I really hope it is.En savoir plus
