Germany Day 14

So today was really a travel day so this blog will be pretty lite.   We got up and had to have the bags out by 7.  So I got up at 6:30 and went to help Mama, then came back and helped her then came back and got ready myself.   We then headed down for breakfast which was ok before getting in the bus to head across Germany.

We stopped at a gas station along the way to have a bathroom break - then drove on to Leipzig.   Leipzig is where Bach lived.   We went to the church where he is buried and also where he lead worship.  It was a pretty church and we enjoyed walking around it.  They also had an open air market that we walked around a bit.   

We started to go into a Germany Cafe to get lunch, but they didn't speak English at all and we didn't feel like getting something unexpected so we ended up going to McDonald's and got a hamburger.  Mama tried to order it with only mayo, lettuce and onion - she needed up getting a plain hamburger... we couldn't get them to understand.   It was hilarious.

We scarfed the food down and then ran to catch our bus.   The driver wasn't there yet so I ran back and I mean RAN to go to the restroom before we left.

We then drove for a while longer before stopping at another convenience store for a 30 min break.   They had a machine that would cut and juice an orange - making fresh OJ and putting it in a 20 oz bottle; it was awesome.   I really liked it and wish we had them in the states.

We then drove on to Nuremberg.  We really wanted to see this town as they said it was the toy town of Germany, but we arrived after all of the shops closed which was a bit of a disappointment.   We rested a bit and then drove to the top of the city where there was an incredible view.   We then strolled down through the town taking pictures as we went.  The town was an old fortress and it is surrounded by a wall.   I enjoyed meandering down taking pictures though I wish we would have had a bit more time.

We then ate dinner before walking a back to our hotel - I really wish we had a little bit longer here.   I'm super tired though and look forward to whatever tomorrow holds.
