Wow,
That was a cool trip. It beat all expectations. I had been to a few Czech border towns, but never in the heart of. And I thought Nuernberg, Frankfurt and the like had impressiave old city centers, but my gosh-diddly-osh was my butt awed.
The language was impossaible for me to get a handle on in just 2 days, but the wife got the hang of the mass trans in a few hours. I had Chinese food daily, fried duck, rice, vegitables, beer (Budwar-oridinal real strong Budweiser before the split over 100 years ago) and an eggroll for the total cost for two persons was a grand total of 10 Euros or $15=/- a buck or so.
It was a cool challange...fun, a great birthday present to my self, and me and the missus actually got along the whole time (I'll notify Guiness tommorow

)
