Nürnberg

Here i was in Nurnberg with Simon Vella, whom you might know as Malta's upcoming electric violin star. I was staying at his place in Cadolzburg during the festival... not that we spent much time at home. Before the festival started, we went on a little tour of the city which is very picturesque with its old buildings, parks and castles. I was surprised to find bustling streets and a busy market square, as it was only friday morning. We had some Bratwurst and headed over to the local pub for a drink, before venturing off to the festival itself.

Worth mentioning was this small bar we went to. Its one of the oldest bars in the city (since 1050) and is Nürnberg's most famous brewery. We ordered some nice big pints of the dark stuff and tried out various beers of different flavours, which i must say were damn good. Couldnt help buying a few bottles and a giant 1 litre ceramic mug for those heavy viking nights. Talking about beer, dont forget to check out my Beer Garden page at http://thebeergarden.blogspot.com/ where i'm listing all the beer i've tasted around the world. Feel free to email me any i've forgotten!
