      Day 5

      Eins nach dem anderen

      March 1, 2023 in Germany

      Wir kommen mit unseren Erledigungen hier im Großraum Nürnberg gut rum.

      Die Tage hatten wir erst einmal Willi ausgemistet. Hatten wir nach 5 Monaten on Tour doch festgestellt, dass wir so einige Dinge dabei hatten, die wir nicht gebraucht haben.

      Also einmal durch Wohnzimmer, Küche, Spa Bereich, Schlafzimmer und Keller.

      Wir konnten richtig gut was ausräumen und einige Fächer sind nun fast leer.

      Weiter ging es dann mit der Bestellung von neuen Brillen für uns beide. Normale Gläser als auch Sonnenbrillen in Sehstärke sollten es sein.

      Auch Emma stand im Mittelpunkt: wir brauchen eine geeignete Transportbox für den Flug nach Toronto, da sie im Frachtraum reisen muss.

      Ganz wichtig für unseren Willi: er hat neue Schuhe bekommen, also einmal bitte 7 neue Reifen, einschl. des alten Ersatzrades, bitte wechseln.

      Die Mitarbeiter in der Werkstatt hatten zwar erst abgewunken, Lkw machen sie nicht, konnte dann aber im Gespräch doch noch überzeugen und so wurden die 16" Räder getauscht. Das ganze Team hat sich ins Zeug gelegt und spitzen Arbeit abgeliefert.

      Jetzt rollen wir auf Michelin Agilis CrossClimate als M+S Reifen mit Winterzulassung (Bergsymbol). Irgendwie sind die leiser als unsere Pirelli Reifen.

      Zwischen den Erledigungen findet sich immer wieder mal Zeit, Freunde und Familie zu treffen.

      Jetzt aber genießen wir einen ruhigen Abend und arbeiten an unserem letzten Video zu Italien.      Read more

      Day 7

      June 6, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Jen is not been well now, she has sinuses so had a quiet morning in bed and dosing herself up on Panadol. We docked at 1.30 and left for our tour at 2.30. The guide was so slow and very boring, it was driving us both nuts so we ditched the tour and wandered around Bamberg by ourselves. Not that we were alone very long, we crossed paths with a number of groups from the ship but at least we could look at the shops and do things at our own pace. It was a beautiful town and we enjoyed just looking at the shops, the buildings and the bridges. I also managed to get so pictures of 2 locks today the last one was huge it was over 36 metres high.Read more

      Day 8

      June 7, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Jen is feeling better yoday. Today we docked early and our tours started at 9.00, I did the Nurnburg old town tour and Jen did the Nuremberg World War ll tour. The old town tour was lovely we started at the top of a hill at the Castle they were setting up a Beer festival in the moor, luckily it was a dry moor. We wandered our way down to the market square where in December they have the world famous Christmas markets. There was a Church convention in town so there was lots of stages being erected and tents being set up so it was very busy. We had an hour and a half free time before heading back to the boat for lunch. I wandered around the town and checked out the shops, I found a shop with some interesting shoes & handbags, a crazy cookie store and souvenir stores selling pretty much the same stuff as the other towns. I stopped at a restaurant for a coffee and asked for a Cappuccino and the waiter said no only Espresso so I said ok, I will have a Coke then. He came back with an expresso and a coke so I tried my very first expresso. I actually really enjoyed the expresso, the coke may have been an overkill on the caffeine but I drank that too.Read more

      Rally Grounds

      February 26, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

      More snow and bitterly cold wind this morning, so we rugged up and caught the train to the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds, aka Zeppelin Field (named after the landing of one of Count Zeppelin's airships there in 1909).

      From 1933 the area was used by the Nazis Party for their annual party rally, with up to 200,000 attendees. During World War II it remained largely intact. On April 22 1945, the US Army held its victory parade at the main grandstand, and after the ceremony the swastika atop the building was blown up. In 1967 the pillar galleries were demolished because they were unsafe. The shortened grandstand remains, with the area still used for an annual motor racing event and cultural events.

      Across the lake from Zeppelin Field is Congress Hall. This huge building was to provide undercover seating for 50,000 people, and would have been almost twice the size of the Colosseum in Rome. The outside looks complete, but the interior is an unfinished shell, 39m in height. Construction work was abandoned in World War II and it remains unfinished today.

      We walked back to the city via a number of caches and had dinner at a local restaurant.      Read more

      Day 78

      Nazi Rally Grounds

      November 20, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      It is difficult to get your head around the size of the site and how big the Nazi party had wanted to make this place... 16km². Walking between the sites that remain, the Zeppelin Field was by far the most imposing.

      Standing there where Hilter stood... a very strange feeling.      Read more

      Day 4 Nuremberg, Germany

      December 11, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      What an amazing day! We left Frankfurt at 8am and travelled by autobahn for two hours to reach Rothenburg, a medieval walled town. It was truly beautiful and the Christmas decorations outside many of the houses added to it. There were lots of little shops and a particularly stunning Christmas shop with room after room of quality Christmas things. Added to the atmosphere was the Christmas market. The weather was lovely and mild - about 12 degrees with the sun shining. The only disappointment was that we needed more time to explore, and an hour and a half later we were back on the bus, heading for Nuremberg, about two hours away. On arrival there we went on a guided walking tour of the old town, ( actually reconstructed after the Second World War) and the castle. The view down was over the city and really beautiful. The streets were typical of German architecture. The day ended with time to be spent in the beautiful Christmas market there. It too was set in front of a church in a square and many of the surrounding trees were covered in lights, making it all very beautiful. The only downside was that it started to rain and we really were pleased to be back on the bus and heading for our hotel and dinner. We loved our day but ready for an early night.Read more

      Day 9

      Pyykki- ja saunapäivä

      July 6, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Joka päivä ei voi vetää kuin kaheli eteenpäin, vaan täytyy tunnustaa fyysisen maailman rajoitteet kuten kaikki se tauhka mikä tarttuu ihmiseen ja sen päällään pitämiin vaatteisiin. Siispä päivä Nürnbergissä vietettiin itsepalvelupesulassa, kuntosalilla ja uimahallissa.

      Pesulassa oli ihan mukava istuskella ja koodata sen lomassa kun odotteli pyykkien pyörimistä. Sen jälkeen matka jatkui kävellen kohti Südstadtbadin uimahallia. Saksalaiseen tapaan palvelutaso menee suomalaisittain nurinkurisesti, eli sauna on se kaillein optio, sitten tulee kylpylä ja pelkästään uiminen. No, kesätarjouksena vedettiin pitkän kaavan mukaan, saunaosasto ja uinti 4h kahden tunnin hinnalla. Koko rahan edestä.

      Ja todellakin palvelu toimi. Olutta ja limpparia sai tiskiltä, jonne pystyi vaikka kävelemään ilman uima-asua. Saunaan virvokkeita ei kuitenkaan saanut viedä. Suomalaiseksi tituleeratussa saunassa kahden tunnin välein sai saunamaisterin esityksen, joka sisälsi tuoksun, jäätä kiukaalle ja eeppisen pyyhkeenheilutusshow'n, joka kirjaimellisesti ei jättänyt ketään kylmäksi. Korvat melkein palaneena pystyikin sitten hyppäämään altaaseen.

      Südstadtbadin erikoisuuksista mainittakoon avaruusmatkailua yli valon nopeudella muistuttava liukumäki, jossa Avaruusseikkailu 2001:n erikoisefektit jäivät ehdottomasti kakkoseksi. Kokonaisuudesta puuttui ainoastaan teknomusiikki. Avaaruuslennon lopussa tapahtuva veteen putoaminen tulikin yllättäen ja kokematon tähtivaeltaja saikin pyytämättä nenänsä ja korvansa täyteen vesimolekyylejä.

      Illan lopuksi olutterassilla oli hyvä palautua rankasta palautumispäivästä.      Read more

      Nuremburg (Nürburg)

      May 19, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      While driving from Baden-Baden we were engulfed by a thunderstorm. It was raining cats and dogs occasionally and the speed dropped to around 70kmh. The roads were amazingly efficient at diverting the rainwater, but the mist from other drivers reduced visibility to 50m. Sky was constantly lit with lightning close and afar… so that’s why we saw temperatures above 30*C before.

      Nürburg was strategically placed stay-over spot on our way back.

      From here onwards we hope to have our last night in Warsaw - and then already sleep at home 🏡

      We did not plan to visit any sights here or to spend here any more time than necessary, hoping to have a few hours to spend tomorrow in Dresden instead.

      We stayed at Radisson ParkInn - an affordable and a dependable bed.

      —

      When a car enthusiast thinks of Nürburg, he imagines the Nürburgring (https://www.nuerburgring.de/) - so did I.

      And I really wished to drive one lap on this world-famous racetrack where car journalists have ordered all kind and type of cars by speed and handling. There are open-track days, accessible for everyone.

      Not one, but THREE, “known” unfortunate conditions inhibited us to enter the track:
      1. We would not arrive at open hours.
      2. The car is full of stuff which would fly around
      3. There seems to be a minor puncture in one of the front tires - there’s weird noise coming from it at certain speeds and I would really like to drive the car home myself…

      So maybe on another day… ☺️      Read more

      Staatstheater Nürnberg - Don Giovanni

      March 10 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Heute Abend besuchen wir nun im Staatstheater Nürnberg die Oper „Don Giovanni“. Die Musik von Mozart begeistert. Die Geschichte des Verführers welcher bereits vor ca. 400 Jahren selbst gewählt in die Hölle gefahren ist bleibt aktuell. Wir sitzen ganz vorne und können sowohl das Orchester als auch die Sänger aus der Nähe geniessen. Es wird die Urfassung, wie sie erstmals in Prag uraufgeführt wurde, gespielt. Die Inszenierung ist neuzeitlich und gelegentlich auch etwas gewagt. Am Schluss der Aufführung sind das Publikum wie auch wir begeistert.Read more

      Weerbericht

      September 10, 2022 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

      Tot nu toe hebben we zo goed als niets aan de weerberichten gehad. Voorspellingen van de hele dag regen (was de hele dag droog), stortbuien (paar spetters) en bewolkte dagdelen (zon en af en toe een wolk).

      Gelukkig kwamen we gisteren een Duits weerstation tegen dat wèl werkt! Zie bijgevoegde foto.      Read more
