Checked out of the Central Hotel this morning. Continued to chip away at work. Making progress with the product in the field environment is challenging. Most of day we could not get to the system we needed to, so we worked on documentation.
Left at noon to transfer location to Weiden - basically three hours East of where I was and near the Chek border. Apparently Prague is about 3 hours east of hear by car. Long drive as I followed Carl. Ate at a nice rest stop (better than in states). I had spaghetti and pesto for lunch - with a Coke instead of a beer so I would not fall asleep.
Carl lead me right to the hotel and wandered in to get my phone number. Picture is Carl with a flat stanley, which is sorta like taking a picture of the traveling gnome.
The hotel (Klassik Hotel) is attached to one of the gates to the old walled city. I will add a picture - part of the hotel walls date from circa 1340. Definately oldest place I've stayed!! Being a hotel on a wall its long and narrow. It has stairs everywhere and is really pretty cool.
Since this is at the gate to a walled city, it means I'm on the fuzgangerplatz - meaning the central walking place where cars don't go. Think of an open air mall, but built over 500 years ago. There is a church you actually walk underneath (there are shops down there). All cobble stone, really cool. I have to force myself out to the restraunts there to eat.
Friday is alway Pizza night, so I went to a pizza joint. Turned out to be very upscale. The Germans are nice because they let the little kids run around and play - making them easier to keep quiet because they have something to do. I had an excellant 4 cheese pizza - I'm definatly coming back here. (Oh, yeah, the beer was good too.)
