Viking Today... 6/30

The boys have a bit of a drive today. Over 4 hours according to google maps.
Großlittgen to Nürnberg

Scenery along the way.

Nürnberg is quite large. Population of 500,000, it's a pretty big city. It's got quite a history. All the way from the middle ages to WWII. It was heavily bombed during the war . The famous Nuremberg trials were conducted there. A much less ugly topic is the beautiful scenery in the city.

Here's a map with pictures overlaid... way more pictures than I could ever link to.

The address in the itinerary is for "Bereitschaftspolizeiabteilung" translated, that means "Riot police department" (Translated official site) I'm not sure what to make of that one! Here's a picture of the address from space. We'll all have to check the journals when they come back to find out about this place. Stacy claims to have found some info but, I'm not coming across it right now and it's time to hit Chicago again. If anyone comes up with more info, use the "comments" link below and share your links!
