Germany and Czech Republic – Day 2 [Amsterdam to Hannover to Hameln]
I arrived early on my flight from Houston, so I didn’t need to rush through the Schipol airport. My flight to Hannover was on a puddle jumper, but I was only on it for about 45 minutes. After arriving I got my luggage and walked to the train station… where you would expect to find…
Germany and Czech Republic Day 3 [Hameln, Germany]

Germany and Czech Republic Day 4 [Hameln, Germany to Kralupy, Czech Republic]
I spent most of the day riding in a van on the autobahn. Luckily I have T-Mobile and was able to send emails and read some news along the way. The hotel I stayed at was SPORT HOTEL (which actually also has a hostel as well). The rooms were basic with very thin wooden doors,…
Germany and Czech Republic Day 5 [Kralupy to Prague, Czech Republic]

Germany and Czech Republic Day 8 [Prague, Czech Republic to Munich, Germany]
My last day to explore Prague… I checked out of the hotel at around 0800 (sunrise) and left my luggage at the hotel. I walked to Charles Bridge first to take photos since the only other time I visited I didn’t make it across the bridge before I lost light. I walked to the Astronomical…
Germany and Czech Republic – Day 9 [Munich, Germany]
I drove on the Autobahn from my hotel near the hotel to Wolfrathausen. In the evening I decided to park at a Park & Ride and take the metro to the Christmas Market in downtown Munich. The Christmas Market was not huge, but had a good selection of crafts, Christmas ornaments, food and of course…
Germany and Czech Republic- Day 10 [Return from Germany]
Early start today. 0700 flight to Amsterdam. I checked out of the hotel, paid for the parking, drove to a petrol station, filled the rental car with diesel and drove back to the airport. I had no problem finding the rental car return, I think. I left the car in the parking lot with a…
