About half an hour north east of Nurenburg is the very small town of Hersbruck. We only have a couple of nights here to break up the drive from Berlin to Munich, but it has been an enjoyable stay. The weather has been atrocious so that put an end to the bikeriding / walking plans, so we spent some time in Nurenburg. Of course a very significant place in the German history books, but on this occasion we mostly walked around the town taking in the very beautiful ...

Hackerberga Slott near Genarp, gorgeous. We forgot to mention a highlight in our last blog, we visited a town named Boras. We went to see this nine metre sculpture named Pinnochio, it was just as good in person! The town was lovely, great coffee - next time we'll st...
