We arrived around midday after sailing along the Main-Rhine Canal where the leaves keep getting more and more vivid! Nuremburg is a rather somber city, most notorious for the post-World War II war trials. Much, 90%, of the city, was destroyed during the war, but a section of the 13th-century wall remains, as well as the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, Zeppelin Fields, the Documentation Center, and Palace of Justice. This city is also known for his handicrafts, particularly toys and fancy metal work. We were lucky enough to see the Market Square packed with local vendors.
The beautiful Christmas shops, featuring "Smokers" and Nutcrackers, were fun to visit.
Back on our ship, the entertainment,featuring three fabulous opera singers and a pianist, included an audience participant, Rob, which was hysterical! Everyone on board now knows his name! I'll edit our post later to include a picture taken by one of the other passengers.
