Going to the mountains is always associated with a risk of having rain, cold, and not a very pleasant day for photography. Specially when you have to drive about 4 hours. Yes there are weather forecasts, but as more weather "forecasting" becomes almost common place (all you have to look is your smart phone and there are hundreds of apps trying to tell you what the weather is going to be like), the quality of said forecasts diminishes exponentially.

Walking around old town of Prague can be quite rewarding if you like street photography. There are interesting people, tourists, political rallies, musicians and many others. It's never boring.

Fuji in Europe Part 22 - Falling in love with Prague
One thing I have to say I like about the Czechs. They know how to play up to tourists. The old city hall tower has an observation deck, which is accessible and the views are stunning. Now, all the German towns and cities also had towers with observation decks. The only difference is that the Czechs were smart, and installed a nice elevator in the tower, Germans are a little more primitive, and if one wanted to see the top, one had to use the old way of climbing, namely stairs.

Fuji in Europe Part 18 - Hidden little gem
Right next to the cemetery, hidden from view, is one of the most beautiful little parks in Nuremberg. It's surrounded by 4 story buildings, and it's very easy to miss. It's a perfect little quiet spot away from the busy traffic of everyday. It has a little restaurant at the entrance with a lovely patio

The Nuremberg Imperial Castle is an impressive building dating from around 1150AD. It was restored to it's original shape, as it was almost completely destroyed during the last war. The main Luginsland Tower is open to visitors, and can be climbed with a promise that one can actually see the Bavarian mountains.
