Bamberg has been one of the places on my list for a long time. Some time ago on TV I saw a documentary of travel show of some sort about Germany. Bamberg was one of the place it showed. Famous for it's greatly preserved old town which is UNESCO heritage listed and its Rauchbier (smoked beer). I only did a day trip here (left Nuremberg in the morning and returned that night). For whatever reason I had put the marker for the old town into my Google Maps in the wro...

I'm falling behind on these blog entries. I'm in Prague right now, but must write about Nuremberg and Bamberg first before I forget what I did there. It's almost already a week ago that I first arrived in Nuremberg. So I left Dresden on Tuesday morning to catch the bus to Nuremberg. It was about a 4 hour trip and I pretty well slept for most of it which was nice. I was around lunch time when I got into Nuremberg. My first order of business was to find the hostel...

So I kinda really want to write about Nuremberg and Bamberg, but I suppose I should get Konigstein out of the way while it's still somewhat fresh in the mind.

And the walk back down via the freeway was interesting and pretty bloody scary, but everything in between was ...

It's been over a week since I last wrote an entry. I was hoping to write this one yesterday but they cut off my Internet early. I'm not really sure why I've taken this long to write another one.

In terms of doing some more touristy sightseeing kind of stuff I haven't really done anything, but I've managed to be quite busy most nights. The language course ended up being quite pointless in ...

A couple of days ago I got to tick off one of the very first items I added to my Google Map when I started thinking about this trip. And that was to see the Bastei Bridge. I went along with Genaro, Yavuz, Patricia and Boci. It was only a 40min train trip to get there. But from there we had to take a ferry across the river, the trip being a total of about 10 seconds to get across. Then we wandered around the little village on the other side for a bit trying to fi...
