Driving mad

Up early on Saturday for the drive to Prague via Regensburg. Cold wet weather in Munich left me with a sore throat and head cold. Hopes for a sleep on the bus were dashed by our tour leader Rob, who has an over active mouth. He kept up incessant prattle all the way, displaying his knowledge to one and all. Nice guy, but a little too eager!

Stop at Regensburg on the Danube was pleasant and saw plenty of traditional clothes as a couple of weddings were happening. Most towns in Alsace were more attractive, but few town like this escaped the bombing in WW 2.

After arriving in Prague we opted for a sunset/ evening tour. Our local guide, Andre was a scream, with some of the best one-liners I've heard. He took us to a ancient pub for some Pilsener and sing-along with a brilliant accordionist and a stroll across the King Charles bridge while the fireworks display to celebrate the good kings 700th birthday played over the river. Returned in a chartered old tram. Great night!
