[Leica] OT: Trip to Austria & Czech Republic

[Douglas Barry]

Hope it goes well, Peter. There's certainly plenty of music there, and the 
beer is quite acceptable too! I agree with your rejection of "maximum 
efficiency" which I call "minimal retention" Liminal things like food, wine, 
travel, and, if I remember right, there just might be something else too, 
should be savoured :-)

It's a while - 22 odd years - since I was in the Czech Republic but I found 
it friendly although even back then Prague had tourist trap areas where you 
could find yourself gouged pricewise. Nowadays with the internet, there are 
reports and warnings posted so you should be fine. Austria is a lovely place 
too, but I only know west of Salzburg. I've been meaning to try and get to 
Vienna, but no joy yet.

Have a good trip
Douglas
