Default A Trip With Preacherman : Hop Aboard (8)

Hi there faithful pilgrims. Are you ready for Nuremburg. We are there today, but just for a short while, then on to Luxembourg and then sadly our trip will be over. Enjoy our walk around this historic town.

This is the River Pegnitz which flows through the town. As it meanders along it's course, the photo opportunities here are endless.

The streets are lined with this typical type of construction, with so many colours and patterns in the buildings.

Of course, most people know of the trials which took place of many of the holocaust perpetrators. This building is near to the place where the trials took place, but this one houses an exhibition of the story of the holocaust. There was a very slight breeze and I waited a long time before it was sufficient to disturb the Israeli flag. I felt how poignant it was to see the flag displayed in this particular town.

This is a cafe next to the old city wall. The heat necessitated 2 coffees here. You can see the grey block paving which all the roads comprised of, making the whole town feel almost like a model.

Hope you enjoyed this visit to Nuremburg. Luxemburg tomorrow then our journey ends. See you all tomorrow. Good night, God bless for now. PAUL

Yawn....brrrrrrr. What a great wake up call. I love the flag shot. Poignant indeed. I love the road pavers. What a great sensation feeling them through the handlebars of your bike. Thanks, Paul. See you tomorrow in Lux!! Ride safe, my friend!

I've been waiting patiently for today's journey! Well ok, impatiently, but I wasn't too noisy....More lovely scenery, I just love the brightly patterned buildings here as well as the lovely architecture around the river. The flagged building shot is a great one for the memory it signifies.

On a lighter note, I love how the coffee house is embedded into the old wall! Very cool. And the coffee here was great! Can't wait for Luxembourg tomorrow Paul.

Paul, I'm really loving touring with you. I have felt the breeze through my hair, and enjoyed strolling cobblestone streets through your eyes. Thanks for the trip.

There is a theme running through this selection as there has been throughout the excellent trip with preacherman episodes, the pictures are both relaxed and relaxing, from the lens flare over the waters of a quiet bay to this charming roadside cafe.
Enjoy your coffee Paul, mine's a vanilla ice cream with double choc topping please

Morning Jim. So whats this Brrrrr. That doesn't sound like "Hot, I mean like Africa hot" to me. Hope the day in Nuremburg warmed you up. You got it with the sensation thing. I remember that so clearly. See you tomorrow. PAUL

Hi Nicky. Sorry I'm a bit late. I met up wiyj UKGlyn today face to face and we had a day out just clicking away. It was truly magic, and what a great guy. But all that and a trip around Nurmburg all in a day. This internet thing is wonderful. See you tomorrow. PAUL

You of all people know only too well Mike about the breeze thing, and the feeling of freedom, and the involvement you have with a bike. There is no sensation like it. Glad you are on board and enjoying. PAUL

And well deserved too Steve. I have enjoyed your company all the way. I might even treat you to a hard boiled egg. PAUL
