So, yesterday we decided to go into Nurenburg for dinner. We have gone to Nurenburg a lot, it is only 40 minutes away and it is where the IKEA is, where Hitlers stadium is and also a cool downtown section to walk in. This time we took the train. It is the first time I have taken a train since moving here in Oct.
So, we followed Kim, Jay and the kids down to the station and got our tickets. It cost us 28 Euro ($35) for all 8 of us to get on the train. Buying the ticket was super easy and reading the schedule was also. We got on the 3:50 train. It took roughly 40 minutes to get there and it was so nice to go through all the little towns that were along the way. It was Wickelsgrueth, Rostal, Sachsan etc.
The best part, where we got off the train was directly downtown in the walled city where you want to be at! So we walked across the street and into town. This week is Fasching, which is Germanys Halloween. So there were some little rides in town that we took the girls on. They all rode on a little helicopter and had a blast. There was even this awesome drum band that was all dressed up for Fasching out in the square. It was so fun to watch and the kids were mesmerized!
Then we walked a little further and found a great place to eat. It was great prices and really really good food! After dinner we went through town. Kim and I got some great scarves for less than 4 Euro. Then we grabbed some Starbucks on our way back to the station. I have not had Starbucks since I left the U.S. So it was fabulous to have some! We got on the 7:50 train back to Ansbach. That was pretty interesting as the 8 of us scurried through the station and made it on the train with 2 minutes to spare. No easy feat with 2 six year olds and a 3 year old. After a short 40 minute ride home, it was a quick 2 minute drive to our apartment! We were in our house by 9 pm- great night!
