Day... uh... I have lost the days... nice feeling that.
We spent 2 days in FFB and then hit the road.
We made it to an increadable campsite that was right by a river - I have noticed something on this trip, we always seem to sleep better when we are by the water - and spent some time cooking dinner. The next morning we headed out towards Burghausen, the longest castle in Europe. Well, just across the valley from the castle we took a break from driving - Arianna took a break from driving, I took a break from navagating - and stopped for lunch. We had lunch within sight of the castle and have some great pictures from that location. Then we headed to the castle.
We have some really nice shots of the castle while walking through it and then some more once we were in the museum... We have some nice shots of weapons and costumes... nice stuff. The castle was 1 k long... and was a major hike in some places... I can understand why castles were built on hills now... after climbing up as far as you would have to you kinda loose the will to take a gate, except the fact that you cannot rest due to the volleys of arrows and rocks falling on you... I got a few nice shots of the guard house and took a few pictures of really defensable locations. It was all very nice.
Then we headed out towards Chesky... we did not make it as far as we would have liked and camped the parking lot of a truck stop with really good food - Lendzeit. We headed out in the morning and arrived farly early to Cesky Krumlov... very nice place... the castle is stunning. I am again getting lots of pictures... we actually got rooms at the Ubytovani that Arianna§s parents told us about. The room is amazing and we have the one that I have seen on their home movies... very nice and again right by the river. We had dinner where I had another nice steak... one thing I will say about being over here is that I don§t starve. Last night was a good rest and today is the first day of the festival... it does not actually start for a few hours but I am sure we will enjoy it.
I have seen 4 countries in less than a week and I am loving every minuite of it. Italy, Germany, Austria, and the Chez Republic. I can now count to 10 in 5 languages... I am also learing new phrases as I travel and am doing farly well at partial translation before having to say, Mine Deuich est Nicht zia gut, Anglase... and in some cases they have not known English but between the partial German and English we manage to make it through a transaction... it is very fun every time.
I am starting to make sense of the money here as it is in cz rather than dollars or Euros... it seems that it is about 30 cz to the Euro, which is about 21 cz to the Dollar... the dollar is a little less than 1.50 dollars to the Euro. So zea things are a bit more expensive here but I am getting a handle on the money.
More travels to report at a later time.
Hugs to all,
