Susan Womble's Adventures: week 39 Germany Nuremburg room 600 and Newmarket Castle

week 39 Germany Nuremberg room 600 and Neumarkt Castle

Dear all:

Great news. We got our tickets changed to June 18th so even though we wont be home for Father's Day we will be home the day after. So at this point we are planning on moving out of our rental on the last day of school and spend three nights in Munich before we fly out.
But for now we are doing those last minute close to home travel activities. Saturday we took the train to Nuremberg where Gregg had wanted to go to the place where the Nuremberg trials were held. The trip from the center of Nuremberg was an experience in itself. It seemed that none of the taxi drivers knew where the courthouse was. Not sure about that--maybe they were just playing with us. We went to the information area and got the lady to circle where we wanted to go and I also had an address but to make a long story short the taxi driver took us to the wrong place. And we even gave her a tip. LOL And if you know GREGG that was something.We went into the building and asked where the courthouse room was and the lady showed us how far away from it we were. It turned out we were at Hitlers place where he had his parades and where he was making his auditorium and they had a big exhibit and we took all that in. It was pretty cool A definite Forest Gump time. The lady at the desk helped us by giving us a cut rate deal on the museums and told us how to use the tram and underground to get to the courthouse. We found it and had a great time. I bout couldn't get Gregg to leave. LOL

Today we ended up going to the Wolf stein Neumarkt Castle which as it turned out was only about 10 minutes from us. We are trying to take on a castle a weekend until we leave. It was nice. See pictures below the view was awesome.
There is also a picture of Gregg at the golf tournament he played at this past Friday.
It is fun to visit around our German home.
Have a great week. It was Armed Forces Day yesterday and it was cool to be associated with the armed forces for that day.
With that I will close. Until next week.
Hugs from Germany
Susan
