24 hours in Prague, and the Meta-Dog czechs another city off her list.















my little brother might have also been in Prague.... or was he?


a game of "spot the meta-dog"




Landsberg. The Lech runs through it…
(this is the town where Hitler was imprisoned. While he was stuck in the prison here, he wrote Mein Kampf. Maybe he didn’t have a good view from his prison window?)












Meta-dog has been in a state of winter-induced Torpor, and so we apologise for a dearth of exciting posts lately.
BUT. to make up for it, she stopped by Valhalla to hang with the other heros and gods. Although, she was not led by winged valkyries, and really it was Walhalla, the German version, and well, if you want to be picky it is also a copy of the Parthenon rather than being modeled after a Norse building despite being named Walhalla… but still.


hanging out with some of the other local heroes or gods




contemplating the blue Danube

Straubing, we learned, was “Once one of Bavaria’s most important cities”




Inhabited first by the Celts around 500 BC, then by the Romans around 180 AD, Regensburg was one of the largest cities to escape wartime destruction.




the Meta-dog always related to David, in the David & Goliath story

sitting on a bridge built in 1146... take THAT, Mr. 21st century!
