Germany 2013 - floods

Remember all that rain I mentioned? It has caused massive flooding in parts of Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.  The day we drove to Berlin, the authorities were evacuating some parts of Dresden and the news yesterday showed flooding in Prague.  There are cities along the Danube that we remember well from our trip in 2009 that are having terrible problems with flooding, Passau and Melk, and we heard that even Vienna may have flooding. The sun has been shining in Berlin for the last 2 days and the good news today was that the rivers seem to be starting to go down.  We hope so because the people in those towns along the rivers have really been suffering due to all the rain.
