I spent my second and last day in Munich on a tour of the Bavarian countryside - King Ludwig II's castles and the Romantic Road. It was nice, although you can only enter the castles through a guided tour, and they each were only about 20 minutes. Wish I'd had more time in then but I knew what I was getting into.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - the amount of money that royalty had and had at its disposal is completely disgusting. I take a perverse sort of pleasure in going from castle to castle and marvelling at the craftsmanship, but also at the waste of it all.
I didn't expect to like Munich as much as I did. I really only visited because everyone said I should, and you guys did not lead me wrong. Bavaria is beautiful (duh, post title). I would definitely like to return at some point and see more.
After a 6 hour train ride, I arrived in Prague late this afternoon. I haven't seen too much yet (just Charles Bridge and the Lennon Wall), but even just walking to my hostel, I was struck by how beautiful the architecture is. I've never felt so positively about a city on first glance. Kinda wish I had more time here now than the measly day I gave myself while planning this trip.
Tomorrow I will be touring the Old Town and Prague Castle. I'm really looking forward to it; Prague seems to be even prettier than everyone says it is. Look out for an update then.
