I left off one layer of clothes this morning but ended up coming back for my one hot weather top. It felt much warmer than 25, especially walking in the sun. Today was HOHO bus day and I sat up top just under the shaded part where I could catch any breeze. The tour was very interesting and covered all the major parts of the city but I wasn’t tempted to hop on and off as it’s a very long time between buses. Any photos I took tended to have window reflections so sorry about that.
The old town covers a very large area. I entered by the round tower opposite the station. Had a wander through the Craftsmen’s Courtyard and was able to get a map in the information centre. It has a suggested route through the town so I decided to do part today and more tomorrow. But first I felt the need for a late lunch/early dinner under a shady umbrella and the place I chose had that delicious asparagus on the menu so I opted for it again. Back on König Strasse to the Lorenz Kirche (church) and then across the Museum Bridge, along to the Fleisch Bridge and back through some minor streets to “The Way of Human Rights”. This is a sculpture with a gate and a row of white concrete pillars, each of which has an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Nuremberg wants to shake off its Nazi era reputation for party rallies and become known as a city of peace and human rights.
This brought me out at a gate in the wall just near the opera house and my building. I had seen an Aldi not far from there so I popped in for a couple of provisions before returning to my room to recover from the heat. Am now cool as a cucumber.
