Nuremberg and the Continental Divide

Wednesday the 13th we docked in Nuremberg early in the am.  For our tour we did the ring around the city by motor coach ( BUS!!).  Julie, Diane and myself have had enough of castles and churches so we went shopping which was right in the middle of town and it was charming.  The stores are like any other major city and they were having street markets everywhere.  We really did not have a lot of time in the city because one if the highlights of this cruise is crossing the Continental Divide where you go through 3 locks that are 81 feet deep!!

  In the afternoon there was a lecture about the locks and how they were made by a Dr. Urban.

Dr. Urban said he had no relatives in Carrizo Springs, Texas that he knew of.   
Through the locks we go!

This is the marker for the Continental Divide

Today is Regensburg and the Danube River and the Gorge.
More to follow! The unfortunate happening today is Ascension Day, a Catholic holiday so all the stores are closed! But the town looks beautiful from the River.
