My
stay in Nuremburg was short. Just a night's stop as I tour on. I had been told
by several people that really this was all I would need. The train rolled in
midafternoon and my bus rolled out mid-morning the following day. Arriving it
struck me that this was the first time I had visited a new city where the
language was foreign and I had no one with me or meeting me. A new type of
isolation. After hitting tourist information for a map I wandered to my hostel.
It was a strange mix of a town. I was walking along the old medieval city wall
passing old brick buildings when every now and then it would change, an
ultramodern glass building breaking up the old feel.
In the
hostel I met an American girl doing the same as I was, so we teamed up to
explore the town. We wandered along the walls, through the town and up through
the castle. Grabbing dinner on the way home, we were suddenly surprised by the
red light district as we walked the walls back to the hostel.
The
next morning began the trip to the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague.
