Vienna

What bicycling fun I had!  Nearly free bikes rentals through Citybike rentals sponsored by the Green Party. Stations are sprinkled around town, usually near metro/bus stations. Beautiful town with a lot to see!

Zurich: beautiful and very expensive

Interesting place. $8 fish sandwich, $4.75 mcdonalds coke. $3 each donut. Hum... Pretty bad place to buy stuff. $2 for using the public restrooms. 

Munich

Prague!

Prague was the most amazing, timeless, beautiful and inexpensive city. It has cobblestone streets with Porsches and Ferraris running on them. The Vltava River is wide and has many bridges and boats on it. More later

Chateau Vinsenesse

What an amazing castle. It was Charles V 's hunting lodge. Later when the English kidnapped him, his son, John The Good fortified it to resist siege. John wanted no more kidnapping, as the French paid the ransom, but the English never let their king return. It is estimated that it would take 3,000+ troops to take the castle. No one ever tried to take it, as it was known for its heavy fortification. The main keep was over 65 meters tall and took 8 years to build. 

The cathedralwasbuilt later, within the walls of the Chateau.  

This is an archers window, designed with targeting and defense in mind.
