• Munich to Prague

    May 8, 2024 in Czech Republic ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Rode from Munich to Prague today. Started off the day by getting from more vacuum seal bags from the same supermarket as yesterday. Tried taking the more direct route as indicted by apple maps to the supermarket but every route seemed to end in a cul-de-sac or otherwise inaccessible route. So ended up retracing my steps to go the route I had gone last night. Problem was apple maps wasn't working - or only working with offline maps which was unhelpful. Not sure why. Anyway once I'd stocked up with more bags and returned via a Burger King breakfast, vacuum sealed my remaining stuff and set off for the apple store to get a new lead and charger - a snip at 80 euros. Thence onto Prague. This ride was a long motorway one so not much of interest happened. I listened to some Agatha Christie on the way and then moved on to the audiobook of Silence of the Lambs - not sure why.

    Arrived into Prague at the Czech Inn (good punning) about sixish and went to get some food at an Indian. So much cheaper generally than Germany or Switzerland although for some reason the price of dorms which today and tomorrow is about 20 odd euro equivalent skyrockets to about 70. According to the receptionist the reason is that Rammstein are playing here over the weekend but that can't be the reason the whole city has put its prices up. They're not that big a group.

    So after two nights I plan to head to Vienna instead where it's actually cheaper much to my surprise. Will explore the city for just one day tomorrow then. Would like to stay longer but don't want to spend so much on accommodation.
