The final part of our anniversary trip was a little closer to home with a couple nights in Nuremberg. For dinner on the first night we visited a place recommended by our hotel and was really quaint inside. We were seated at a teeny-tiny table, but it was a great experience!
Charles ordered the special drink. We think it's the area's version of Vienn'a strum. It was sweet and had a low alcohol level. I liked it better than the strum we had in Vienna, but I did not try the white version there. I had a Riesling from Wurzburg that was tasty.
For my dinner, I had Nuremburg sausages with potato salad. Yum!
The next day we visited the Toy Museum and saw all kinds of great displays about toys through the ages. I love visiting toy museums and we have been to several now including Basel, Switzerland and Kansas City. This one had a really great theme throughout that talked about racism shown through toys. They have several toys in their collection that are racist and the displays did a good job explaining the origin of the toys and why they prove problematic. The doll displays were fun and I just loved the face on the one pictured above.
A tower of Playmobile figures!
Our hotel was located within the old city walls of Nuremberg and was really nice. It was so convenient to be able to walk down the street to all the restaurants, shops and sites in town. The hotel had a nice breakfast spread, parking (although we had to pay extra for that) and a nice comfortable room.
It's not an old European city without some churches! We saw a few while visiting.
On our last night we decided to try a "Tex-Mex" restaurant that was down the street from the hotel. Mexican food is not quite right over here, but the reviews were decent so we thought why not! We sat inside where the music was pumpin'. My Bahama Mama was delicious, but the food was definitely lacking the Mexican kick. But you don't know unless you try!
