Nuremberg was the first visit, and we opted for the tour focusing on the Nazi regime. We saw the building where the Nazi leaders were tried, and where 12 were hanged, interestingly by Albert Pierrepont from Oldham. We spent the bulk of the time in the Documentation Centre which presented extremely well Hitler's rise to power, his amazing propaganda programme which gained him such popularity among the German people, the concentration camps, and finally the collapse of the Nazi regime and the Nuremberg trials. Full marks to Germany for presenting it so honestly.
Bamberg, our afternoon visit, is a World Heritage town, very old very beautiful and very wet. We were drenched and like hundreds of other tourists escaped into a warm dry cafe for a latte. Much nicer today though, a lovely day to spend relaxing on the sky deck watching the world go by. So tiring, these cruises.

Huge amphitheater built by Hitler to address the people, never finished
Beautiful Bamberg.
Sounds exhausting :) I wonder what your earlier Canadian (?) dinner guests made of the presentation. It must be interesting finding out about historic events in so much detail.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. We are enjoying following your travels on the blog. :-). I hope they have a bar on the top deck. It would be very tiring to have to walk down below to get another champagne!
ReplyDeleteIts as if you had a great grasp on the subject matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from more than one angle. hotel Nuremberg
