Nuremberg - Don't mention the War!!!

Nuremberg had just had a huge musical festival where people camped out - similar to Glastonbury or BDO I guess..... and the city is still cleaning up the mess that the "kids" left there - tents, chairs, bikes, rubbish, rubbish and more rubbish. It was disgusting. Also the security fences were all still up so I couldn't help but feel that Nuremberg wasn't quite ready for the 4 bus loads of people that were coming to see Hitler's rally grounds and surrounding touristy things. The gasps of the people on the bus were of horrific proportions.

Jen with a bit of chewy on her shoe!

Seeing the podium where Hitler made his speaches from during the rallies was really creepy - a big fence stopped us from getting a realistic picture of how many people could have filled the area and how many he spoke to - but it was a bit creepy just knowing that Adolf himself had stood where we were standing.

After the last couple of tour guides not being terribly interesting we decided to give this one a 1o minute window to impress and if she didn't come up with the goods, we'd go off on our own - however - the whole tour was done by coach and we couldn't get off until the very end when it was free time anyway - only 30 minutes to look around, buy a fridge magnet and back to the bus. You certainly do see some things on these trips - but you sometimes feel like you're being herded!
