Got another card
OK. ON Wednesday I moved on to Nurnberg, more or less on a whim (the train was ready and waiting).
I went to the tourist office and got a room. Small, washbasin only, called 15a - the landlady was terribly apologetic. However, only 25 Euros a night, and very near the centre. After having contacted friends, I went to see the Germanisches museum. Marvellous collection. Not only a good collection of musical instruments and old masters, but a superb folk art collection in the attic.
Yesterday, having contacted another old friend G, I went to the Documentation Centre on the outskirts. In other words the Third Reich history museum, which uses part of the monstrous collection of buildings and parade grounds. The museum plotting the rise and fall of the movement was interesting, as was the walk around the remaining buildings (this is paralleled by an environmental walk - if you can, read both sets of boards). The weather was beautiful, and my sprained toe behaved quite well.
This morning, in a few minutes, I go to Plauen.
