Bratwurst Will Never Be The Same...

Well, I've officially had my fair share of sausage here. Apparently Nuremberg is one of the capitols of Bratwurst--here they are small little ~4 inch sausages served in 3,6,8,10, or 12. That's pretty much all we ate here, we had Schnitzel once though, also delicious--food porn to follow in pictures. We actually ate at the oldest Bratwurst place in town, which starting making the tasty little sausages in 1419.

Yesterday we walked all around old Nuremberg (within the old city walls) touring be ourselves. We saw a few churches, St. Lawrence being the oldest with construction starting 1250. Basically we just hung out and looked around whilst drinking at a few Biergärtens. It was pretty incredible walking around a city where medieval buildings were still intact. Oh, Zach and I also took a tour of the Nuremberg Dungeons used back then-although the tour was only in German, so we didn't understand a fucking thing. But it was creepy all the same--video of me being stupid to follow.

Today we took an English speaking tour of the entire old town, including the Imperial Castle, where the views of old town were amazing. Other than that, we just kinda Biergärten hopped our way along--drinking 1/2 Liters of delicious Weizen beer.

Zach and I were able to learn a little German which was fun, although most people knew enough English to understand us if we spoke slowly. In all, German people rock and were really friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, we learned the sad part about Nuremberg. The tour guide said the 80-90% of the city was destroyed in WWII, but luckily some of their old medieval structures and works of art remained in tact.

That’s all for Germany—we’re off to Amsterdam in the morning for 5 days of debauchery and fun!
