Today we ditched the bikes and played tourist in Prague - maybe the best tourist city in the world. We took the tram system down to the main square and visited many of the iconic sites including Prague Castle. To say the castle was impressive would be an understatement - it was that good to see in person. As the saying goes, pictures cannot do justice to this almost 1,500 year old castle. Not to mention all the other interesting buildings, churches, monuments, etc. we passed by on the walk up to the castle. This city is something special for anyone who appreciates old world archeticure. There were crazy crowds of tourists most everywhere but I still enjoyed just walking around this unique city.
Tomorrow we ride to Munich to hopefully secure a camp space at a campground on the city outskirts. Oktoberfest starts on Saturday so hopefully a couple of days early will be enough to score a spot at the campground we are targeting - it is on a first come basis so no reservations accepted. We looked into hotels, hostels, apartments, etc. a month ago and what wasn't already booked was stupid crazy expensive. We like to camp anyway because we are cheapskate travelers on a budget.
Here are some more pics of Prague - but you really need to see and experience this city firsthand. It is amazing and my new favorite city - that's right San Francisco, you've been punted!
