The story · 10 days

For us it was a lovely trip, we saw many interesting things we won't forget: - the castles, those of Fussen and Rosemberg Castle, in Ceski Krumlov, beautiful outside and richly furnished inside - the churches, the one that struck us most was the one in Steingaden, - the landscapes both in Bavaria and in the Czech Republic. For photography enthusiasts, like me, I can say I took over 500 photos, digitally (512MB). Of course, what may appeal to us may not appeal to others…… everything is subjective. Anyway I hope I've been helpful; if you need any other information, I'm at your disposal.

Total km 2,700 It's a not too tiring trip, with short daily drives Total cost € 1,120 Bear in mind this figure is for two adults and two cats — they eat too, and in some campsites THEY pay as well. The cost breaks down as follows: Food € 326.98 Newspapers 24.99 Bars 22.62 Restaurants 64.98 Diesel 210.98 Campsites and parking 184.73 Entry tickets and visits 115.11 Fine 34.36 Telephone 55.00 Motorway 36.14 Sundries 43.60
