    I spent a day in Nuremberg many years ago. It's a beautiful town. Hope to go there again one day.

    Until this summer Germany was a country I had always dismissed in favour of going to more exotic countries. I did a road tip in August to see the castles, and OMG I'm actually addicted to travelling in Germany now to see more. It's a beautiful country and I'm kicking myself for dismissing it previously. Thanks for a fab post. I've pined it for future reference for my next trip out there :)
