Germany--Days 5-8

We slept in, then had Euro yogurt for breakfast. I love their yogurt--it's delish! Lancer surprised me with a massages for us later in the day--whoo-hoo!

We got up and did Mediterranean for lunch. Lancer had turkey cutlets with a creamy cucumber sauce, and I had tuna stuffed tomatoes. Tasty-shmasty. After lunch, we visited a museum, walked around Cologne, and then hit a street fair. We had great success when we did this in Paris--we got some of our fave things there--an old teapot and some cool antique French food tins. We got the coolest sign for the party shed--it's now a Euro shed. Pics to come.

After our massages and a swim, LJ ran out to capture the sun as it went down over Cologne.







We headed to this little unassuming restaurant for dinner. Little did we know--we were in for a Michelin rated meal. It was so good!!

My good friend Coca Light. It's not as good as Diet Coke, but we're friends.

Lancer got a dish with turkey, cheese and tomatoes on a bed of spinach.

I got Argentinian beef with mushrooms on a bed of mushrooms, topped with a bacon Béarnaise sauce. It was served with piped potato cakes.

The earlier referred to mullet. It's like a Euro mullet-hawk.

The next morning, we walked around Cologne some more, and then shopped. This is the bridge connecting our hotel and the cathedral. It was filled with these locks where people declare there love on them (Heike + Mathias Forever!!) and then lock them onto the bridge. Weird.

I stopped by the Nutcracker House. My sis is a big nutcracker freak. Imagine my Christmas village...and then times it by 2.

Hopped on the train to our next stop--Nuremberg. This guy was the train ticket checker. Check out that stache!

After arriving a little late, we checked into the Hotel Maritime, which was really close to the old city. We were excited to check it out the next day.

The next day, we explored Nuremberg. We saw a few historical places, including the main castle. We also hit up the toy museum for fun. We were out all day long.





This "wig" shop was located in the train station. I especially like melanoma Ken, and the creepy dude in the lower right hand corner. Nice beard. And glasses. And rug.

We did a day trip to Anberg, known for its two tunnels known as the "town spectacles." While there, we kicked back in a traditional Beer Garden and chilled for an hour.

Stopped and got a yummy Euro snack...

In front of the famous specs...

At night, we returned to Nuremberg, and had dinner in the old town. I finally went for a "traditional" Bavarian treat--a city sausage with sauerkraut and friend potatoes, while Lancer got a turkey salad. Below, he's noshing on pretzel bread. I dream of such a thing.

After dinner, we walked around for hours, eating ice-cream and smooching. It was dreamy.
