Today! I'm finally caught up now!!!! Yeah!
This morning we were up at 6 in Dresden to take in the sights on a very quick tour with the goal of being in Nürnberg by 2:30 so we could get a tour of the castle there before it closed at 4. Whew!
In Dresden we watched to Zwinger and then around town taking a lot of pictures of old buildings. We also found the Frauenkirche and a nice statue of Martin Luther.
By 9:30 we were on the road to Nürnberg. Matthias drove first and then about halfway I took over to drive the rest of the way. My first driving experience on the autobahn was pretty good. We ended up renting a Mercedes because the rental car place didn't have the Volkswagon we had requested. It's still a pretty small car but cool. I drove about 130 km/hr max. Matthias got the car up to 99 miles/hour but for some reason couldn't get it to register higher than that. Kind of funny. Anyway. As soon as I took over driving from Matthias it started snowing again. Oh yeah, it's been very cold here in Germany. Snow and hail at least for a little bit every day we've been here. It was supposedly the coldest Easter here in the last 18 years. Lucky for us!
We arrived safely at the hostel in Nürnberg and went on a tour of the Kaiserburg Castle. The tour guide only spoke German. Matthias translated some stuff for me here and there but otherwise I just got a close look at everything.
After that we walked around town and checked out a famous statue (who's name escapes me right now) and a giant Glockenspiel and did some shopping.
We're both totally exhausted (2 days without taking a nap!). It's about 9 pm now, I think Matthias is already asleep and I'm heading to bed shortly. Tomorrow we're off to Munich.
