On hearing that my old friend from Adelaide, Carly, had moved to Nurnberg to live with her boyfriend, I decided to pay them a visit - and take Dean along of course. We spent a week driving the guys mad whilst we were busy catching up. We let them off the hook occasionally and went visiting a couple of near-by towns.
Nordlingen is a circular city that is in a 100km wide crater where a meteor once hit. The impact of the meteor was the equivalent to 250 nuclear bombs leaving Nordlingen with some unique geological rocks. (can you tell i'm no geologist??). This all of course happened long before Nordlingen was even thought of.
Now Nordlingen is a quaint little town with medieval town walls and a mini-golf course. Why should you care about a mini-golf course?? Because I won bragging rights when i beat Carly after she was killing me up till the 9th. All the sweeter when the come-back was led with a hole-in-one:) [Sorry Carly. Carly was the Fussball champ though].
Dragging Dean away from work (yes he works whilst on holidays!!), Carly, Dean and myself also checked out Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber. This little town was really nice. It is on the Romantic Road in Germany and again it has town walls, lots of nice old buildings and some gorgeous views of the Tauber Valley.
We also managed to see more of Nurnberg including massive podium Hitler had built for rallies and some local fans before a football match. Let's just say, they were singing, jumping on tables, and singing to hard rock... this is of course before the match! Was awesome.
Thanks to Carly and Woj for an awesome week.
