Day 1 Travel to Nuremburg.
We boarded our KLM flight from Toronto to Amerstam. The 747 was the equipment used and proved to be a most enjoyable method of getting to Europe. Six hours of flying time passed quickly as we enjoyed a failrly good airline meal, compimentary wine and spirits, and friendly service. An hour before landing a small breakfast snack was served.
Amsterdam's airport is a fabulous option for European connections. We were through passport control in just a few minuites and had time to shop in the vast array of shops located in the terminal. It made us want to return to see what the city has to offer.
Our short one hour flight to Nuremburg was efficient and comfortable. The Nuremburg airport is small which means you get you luggage quickly and there is no problem getting a taxi. It costs 15 euros to get into the old city where our hotel Victoria served as our pre cruise base.
The hotel itself is located within the old city and provides a great base for you to explore the city. The room is typically european sized but clean and modern. The reception area is stocked with hot tea to welcome you back from your adventures. There is an Irish pub located in the basement which serves only beer and wine. A good option for food is a restaurant located beside the hotel - "Gasthaus Pillhoffer". Solid German food with some local dishes at a reasonable price. English speaking staff will serve you promptly and the locals were more than willing to help us Canadian plan our next day. We are heading out to wander the old city before retiring for the night
