Our curious feet and Christmas-market-whetted-appetite brought us to make a pilgrimage of sorts to the birthplace of all Christmas markets. Taking advantage of cheaper fares with group travel Bavaria ticket, we spent another day trying new foods and getting plump on wurst and mulled wine.
Nuremberg turns out to be the second largest city in the Bavarian region (who knew?). It also looks like a city out of the pages of a fairy tale. From the train station, it isn't difficult to follow the trail leading to the markets. Not even the dampness of the rain could stop us from reaching peak energy skipping our way through the town.
This shish kebab was absolutely divine. The curry sauce over the kebab itself was sumptuous and tingled every last tastebud on your tongue. And the pork meat... fall apart tender juicyness, what more can I say without reminiscing with drool threatening to spill over my keyboard?
At the of the day, we were exhausted and our pockets ran a little shallower. But we loved it, something magical intoxicating us. Maybe we just needed the break from our quaint university town, and the festiveness of Bavaria served as a perfect cure. Nevertheless, I'm sure a visit here would make any heart flutter just a little quicker.
ps lack of photos due to hands busy occupied eating food! Germans know their way around these things :)
