30 April 2022.
Breakfast was another leisurely affair in greater Hohenfels capped off with homemade sourdough bread provided by one of Glen's colleagues who has definitely mastered this particular skill.
Eventually we got ourselves together, loaded into the car and headed off to the Parsberg train station where the six of us caught the train to Nürnberg.
Exiting the train station via an underground passage we were immediately confronted by one of the original main gates of the old city. And just inside the gate was a small group of shops just behind the tower and wall. Leaving the gate we began our stroll heading toward one of the city's main attractions, the Kaiserberg Castle.

From the brat
haus we continued out trek upwards to the castle where we had not only superb views of the city but also enjoyed a stroll around the castle walls.

Walking down from the castle it began to rain lightly and the group opted to stop for ice cream. We waited out the downpour in the
gelateria while the kids enjoyed some truly stupendous ice cream treats.
Eventually we had to leave and so we headed back out into the light rain, making our way back to the train station. The train wasn't as crowded as our morning one and so we all got to sit (more or less) together.

That evening Christina fixed a delicious supper of boiled weisswurst (white sausage), a Munich specialty, blanched spargel (white asparagus), a Bavarian spring specialty, and roasted potatoes, while Glen grilled a half dozen slices of pork (from the vending machine).
Tomorrow it's Sunday, May Day in Europe and we plan to be lazy before driving into Regensburg. Stay tuned!
