I'm falling behind on these blog entries. I'm in Prague right now, but must write about Nuremberg and Bamberg first before I forget what I did there. It's almost already a week ago that I first arrived in Nuremberg. So I left Dresden on Tuesday morning to catch the bus to Nuremberg. It was about a 4 hour trip and I pretty well slept for most of it which was nice. I was around lunch time when I got into Nuremberg. My first order of business was to find the hostel...

So I kinda really want to write about Nuremberg and Bamberg, but I suppose I should get Konigstein out of the way while it's still somewhat fresh in the mind. We went there on the Sunday of the Stadtfest to see the castle. And honestly, we probably shouldn't have really bothered. It wasn't really that great at all. The 45 minutes hike up there was nice. And the walk back down via the freeway was interesting and pretty bloody scary, but everything in between was ...

It's been over a week since I last wrote an entry. I was hoping to write this one yesterday but they cut off my Internet early. I'm not really sure why I've taken this long to write another one.

The language course ended up being quite pointless in ...

A couple of days ago I got to tick off one of the very first items I added to my Google Map when I started thinking about this trip. And that was to see the Bastei Bridge. I went along with Genaro, Yavuz, Patricia and Boci. It was only a 40min train trip to get there. But from there we had to take a ferry across the river, the trip being a total of about 10 seconds to get across. Then we wandered around the little village on the other side for a bit trying to fi...

So here I am in Dresden, sitting in my room where I have an awesome 75Mbps internet connection. Has really made uploading my photos a hell of a lot easier. What was before a potentially 1-2 hour job is now like 1-2 mins. There's a church not far from where I'm staying. At 7am and 6pm every day it rings its bell for about 5 minutes straight. Lucky I need to be up at 7am for my class anyway... I almost had a bit of trouble getting here when I was told that all the...
