Day 5 - Sunday june 14th After a quick tour of the Cathedral across the river from our campsite, we left Prague around 3pm heading to Minich (Munchen) . Jay drove again to the Czech border, then I made a sorry attempt at maneuvering the 6spd stick shift! First gear and I really don’t get along, but at 130km in 6th, I did ok. Once again the cars were flying by at 200km. I saw my first Ferrari on the Autobahn!! Just when I was getting the hang of the road, we hit road construction, and slowed to about 20km for [View Full Entry]

Day 6 - Munich Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Munich
Day 6 - Monday June 15th Today we toured Munich. Lots of history in this town, as it was where Hitler began his reign of terror in WWII. Most of the jewish houses and businesses were ransacked & burned down by the German SS, posing as townsfolk. This was Hitlers’s way of rallying for sentiment and hatred toward jews.

Knowing the bombs were coming, the inhabitants had the foresight to go around and take photographs of every building, street, and cobblestone pattern. After the war, Munich was [View Full Entry]

Well, we successfully conquered Prague!! We arrived at 11pm Thursday June 11th after a very long drive from Heidelberg. On the way, we stopped in a little town called Rothenburg. (Thanks Teresa for the tip on the Midevil Museum there!) It was an AMAZING old town surrounded by a wall. Took TONS of pictures inside the Kriminal Mueseum. Actually ran the camera out of battery, and had to run back to the RV. So, the drive to Prague was about 5 hours, and Jay had to drive the whole way, as I was a little hungover! However, I did learn the [View Full Entry]
