Day 5 - In Prague, Czech Republic

It was a very early and frosty start from Bamberg. There was ice on the outside of the tent, and my sleeping bag was only just up to the challenge. I'm not really worried about that - they days are warm and this is the coldest part of the trip.

Bamberg is a small and typically German town which luckily saw no damage at all during the war, so it is very old with fascinating architecture. Pictures to follow. Spent a few hours walking around, looked at Bamberger Dom (Cathedral) and had a lovely tea and cake. Germany really is civilized.

It was a very long drive to Prague in the Czech Republic from Bamberg, and there was only a slight difference on crossing the border. Czech Republic is not as wealthy as Western Europe but does appear to be catching up fast.

Will compose a more detailed post when I'm not clocking up the money in a web cafe...
