Sun 10 Aug- Nuremberg, Prague

Sun 10 Aug- we got up early for the buffet breakfast and disembarkation as the ship arrived in Nuremberg. We went into town for the city tour, which included the site of the Nazi party rallies, and the site of Hitler's planned Nazi complex (which never got completed due to his political and military failures). We also saw the building where the Nuremberg trials were held.
We had lunch a famous sausage restaurant, the Bratwurst Roslein, and had their famous Bratwurst [http://hutchings.smugmug.com/photos/351260651_HLXow-M.jpg]. It was quite good, especially accompanied by a Tuchen draft beer.
After lunch we left for the Czech Republic, with a stop at the border, and then in Pilsen, where Pilsner Beer was developed, and is still very popular today. We didn't have time for a beer then, but since then, we've had many steins of draft Pilsner Urquell, it seems like every restaurant features it, and it's actually cheaper than any other drink (including bottled water).
We arrived in Prague and checked in to the Prague Hilton, a very nice 5-star hotel close to the center of town, but not in the very busy noisy center of the old town.
We went for dinner at the U Ceskeho Lva, a typical Czech restaurant. Kiyomi had a sausage and bratwurst dish, and Stan had goulash. Both meals were very good, and the portions were so large we could not finish (although the 1/2 liter beer we had were pretty filling, too).
