Somewhere in Germany

Last night we sampled the wonders of Prague, and despite the
distinctly underwhelming outskirts, came to the conclusion that it is
an architectural and cultural wonder. The old city is beautiful, the
beer is cheap and plentiful, and Ray ate himself into a meat coma with
his mixed-pig platter for about two quid. Overall it was a triumph.
Unlike Germany, which we unanimously agree is a shithole.
Honestly, we are seriously dissappointed with the endless procession
of light industrial estates, Lego built warehouses and an
extraordinary range of ramshackle falling down sheds. The wind farms
are by far the prettiest thing here. The high point was the snow storm
in the mountains, as it meant we couldn't see the wastelands of Mordor
around us. It has got slightly less bleak the further west we go, but
i don't think any of us are putting a road trip around Germany at the
top of our holiday list.
At least now we are seeing signs for Amsterdam, so are on the final
leg and have only a couple of hours before we can relax, have some
funny cigarettes and giggle helplessly into the night whilst eating
the contents of the local 24 hour garage..
