22-Aug – We arrive in Nuremberg, Germany for a full day of touring Old Town Nuremberg, the area inside the walls. The present city wall was completed in 1400 as a five kilometers long, crooked parallelogram. Four gate towers were built at its four corner points. Even though it has been heavily restored or rebuilt in parts, the city wall has been almost completely preserved and surrounds the old town. While touring on our own in Old Town, we actually got lost for about 40 minutes even though we had a map. We had about 30 minutes to get to where the bus was picking us up . . . it seemed nobody could help us until Dave went into a Holiday Inn where the front desk personnel spoke English and directed us to the location we needed to be. We boarded the bus, went back to the Longboat for lunch and then had another tour back inside Old Town in the afternoon where we were exposed to part of the town we didn’t see earlier. At dinner time we were transported back to the Viking Skirnir for dinner and sailing to our next port which would be Bamberg, Germany.
