Second Day, into the Czech Republic

After breakfast we meandered through some charming East German villages, but met with some heavy rain showers so we did not stop to take any photos. At the Czech border we were waved through without them even checking our passports. But we had to stop and pay 9 euros for a motorway tax. This is for 15 days, but is the minimum charge.
We are now in Plzen, or Pilsen in German, the home of Pilsener beer and Skodas. We are about to look around the central city, and have some lunch. Then we will be off to the east of the Czech Republic. We are intending to camp tonight, and maybe head into Slovakia tomorrow.
There are interesting old buildings here, including a 13th century church in the main square.
