Homer Returns to Holland

On December 21st 2011, we took our first drive in Homer from Amsterdam to Cologne. Exactly fourteen months later on February 21st 2013, we took our final drive in Homer from Cologne to Amsterdam.

But before we get to that, let's see what Nuremberg has to offer. From 1927 onwards the German Nazi Party held huge rallies at the city's parade grounds.

Unfortunately the grounds were closed for renovation so we looked at a nice partly-frozen lake instead.

After the war, the city became famous again for the Nuremberg Trials, in which many high profile German political and military leaders were indicted for their crimes against humanity.


And of course, the town has a pretty medieval heart, having been central to the Holy Roman Empire and home of Albrecht Dürer.

The Schöner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain)

From there we returned to Cologne. When we were there 104 blog entries ago, it was our first experience of  love locks. Having seen them all over Europe, and having become a little bit European ourselves, we couldn't help but finalise our trip by padlocking our love to a bridge.


 And with that we arrived in Amsterdam for the final time.
