Nuremberg is delightfully German. It's an old, walled city with cobblestone streets, gothic cathedrals, and triangular thatched or mansard roofs. Lots of old gothic stonework.
I was able to find an open pharmacy in the Nuremberg train station. I am now in possession of contact lens solutions, toothpaste (sensodyne pronamel!) and a toothbrush. Still urgently needed is an iphone/ipad charger.
Lunch is nurnberger bratwurst, a soft pretzel (from the bread basket), potato salad, and the local dunkel. At some point I am going to need to eat something other than sausage. Or at least maybe try weissewurst. Waitresses are dressed in lederhosen, or whatever the female equivalent is.
Just ordered an apple strudel and coffee. The coffee in this country is pretty shitty. But can't argue with the strudel.
There is load karaoke being played somewhere in the distance. A version of "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)" just ended, but now someone is performing "Eye of the Tiger." [Update: Turns out it wasn't karaoke at all, just a really shitty band playing live.]
