After a lovely dinner in a local brewery restaurant and one or two pints of Tucher Dunkel, a few of us decided to have a walk around town. Although it was raining, we wanted to see Nuremberg Castle, which we were told offered a stunning view over the city. So we headed off with cameras and umbrellas at the ready. We were quite close to the church of St. Sebaldus and were rewarded with a view of the church lit from below.

We came full circle and arrived back at the Church of St. Lorenz. What a lovely city Nuremberg was. I will definitely have to go back, to see all the things I know I have missed.
