Today, I went to the town of Nuremberg, Germany. I took a cab to the city and stared out my day by visiting the Reichsparteigelande. I got the audio guide; it was a self paced tour that took us about 2.5 hours to go through it. The grounds themselves were huge, we walked around the entire area and it takes a good hour to do. Being able to stand where Hitler did was very eerie when you looked out and imagined the stands and field being full. After visiting that, I went to the DB Museum. It has a very informative tour of the development of the rail system in Germany, including a sensitive account of its role during the Nazi era and of the network's division and reunion in the post war era. I then went and had a surprisingly good dinner, Hasenpfeffer and Baumkuchen for desert. After dinner I went to the Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelaende. It was a museum that had many displays, newspaper articles and videos which were all excellent. I went and checked in at my bed and breakfast the Schindlerhof.
