Absolutely freezing! Found out today that Switzerland reached their record snowfall for October. haha, lucky us! London and Germany were snowed on too, but we didn't get it.
Last night we had our first chocolate and peanut butter sandwiches. In the morning we road into town and actually had to go into a small butcher shop, which was the only thing open, just to warm up. we got two apples and took our socks off and everything. It was a small place so pretty weird of us. We had spent the night up in the woods off the main road.
We just kept riding and it helped us warm up. The road branched into a wonderful bike trail for getting us into the city, so the ride into downtown Nurnberg was actually very pleasant.
Made it into Nurnberg by 4:30 and found our new couchsurfing host. His name is Thomas, he's something of a hippy, but brought us out for an awesome night. First he rode us on bikes to the castle. Haha, he's so nuts and free. He wants to go live inside of a tree on an island off the coast of greece and backpack across india with literally nothing but his clothes.
He helped us steal apples from the castle, then showed us the Albrecht Durer house. We went to two bars with him, the second one was especially nice. It was kind of a go-go bar with 50's music. The people inside looked the part too! Greasers! with the jackets and hair and everything. They were really nice to us. Loved the tiger print velvet wallpaper!
Nurnberg is very beautiful by night. Great for night bike rides.
