After Salzburg, we went to Nuremberg to catch our cruise boat.

That picture was taken the next day. We were late arriving after our side trip to Salzburg. Did you know it is named for salt deposits? (No, we did not see any).

Our first town is of course Nuremberg, and we discovered how great a river cruise is! A bus took us to the top of the hill (which Brian climbed when he was here before) and informative guides told us stories. We each used blue-tooth devices to hear the guides, so the sound was clear AND we did not need to hover around the guides. Also, if we were too far away from the guide, the sound cut out, and we knew to find the group again. Fantastic!
