Nuremburg- Stop #1

Beth and I decided that we really wanted to go to Germany to see a concentration camp and I really wanted to go see castes. Ryanair had a 15 euro flight into a place called Nuremburg so we decided to fly into there. Since our flight didn't get in until 7:30, we had planned to spend the night. The hostel was super cheap and it was probably the nicest hostel I have ever stayed at. I was so glad that this was Beth's first hostel experience because my first one was pretty gross and sketchy. 

Nuremburg is the cutest little German town. 

It might sound familiar because it's where the Nazi trials took place. It was a precious town and still had the old German look because it wasn't all bombed to pieces during the war. Parts of it had modern buildings because the original ones were bombed but the majority of it was original architecture. Most of the pictures of it are on my real camera but these sort of show it. It honestly looked like Epcot. Disney did a good job recreating a German village. That night, we went to a beer hall and then back to the hostel to go to bed. 

The next morning, we met one a guy at the hostel and he was planning on going to see the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Since we were planning on doing that too, we went with him. It was a very surreal place to be. We saw the place where Hitler stood to give speeches and looked up at the spot where he would use been. 65ish years ago in the same spot there would have been people standing where we were honored to hear him speak and to see him. It was odd.

 The area surrounding it was a beautiful lake and park where the Nazi's would hold picnics. 

After this odd experience, we went back to Nuremburg and our new friend was able to show us around because he had been there for a few days. We saw some pretty churches, found Karoline street (my name in German!!), and walked to the castle grounds. 

After this, we went back to the hostel to catch our train Munich! It was a great first stop.
