October 2, 2016: On Sunday morning, we continued our journey, and it was our first Sunday in Germany. We were struck by how eerily empty the streets of Nuremberg were. It was quite unusual compared to Russia, where weekends are a lively affair with people flocking to cafes and museums. In Germany, even the grocery stores were closed! Thankfully, the trains were running on schedule, and we enjoyed a smooth ride to our next stop, Stuttgart.
