Old Town Square (Staromestske namesti) Prague

Nice breakfast before 3.5 hour tour including castle and town area. Photos from the mini bus challenging but good orientation given. Truly lovely city with heaps to see and do. Tour ended at the square. Lunch at the astronomic clock where 100s arrive on the hour to watch a not very exciting display. Walked through the markets area and wencellis …

Exploring Prague from our apartment …

Praga este un oras de o frumusete nebanuita; un amfiteatru natural prin care curge raul Vltava. Situat in inima Europei, acest oras iti ofera un spectacol inedit prin combinarea mai multor stiluri arhitectonice, care creaza o unitate aproape perfecta.

He discovered the water cart at the back of the plane toward the end of the flight.

According to my calculations, it's only been about 9 days since I wrote about Berlin, but since then we have jumped all over Europe (even aptly staying in a backpackers called the Kangaroo Hop hostel - would recommend it!) - we have seen so much in a short time! After we left Berlin, we went to Leipzig, home of one of my favourite composers, J.S. …

Much has changed here since Graham and I first visited in April 1983 (or was it '84?)? I admit to having a shocking memory but more than anything else i remember that- THERE WAS NO HOT WATER IN OUR HOTEL!

Greetings everyone from Prague! Matt here. We arrived in the city of Prague Saturday afternoon after a long and semi chaotic train ride from Berlin. When booking the train tickets in advance, the website failed to mention the importance of paying for a seat reservation when purchasing a regular fare.

So we arrived at the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague. It is a place I have wanted to visit for years and we have finally made it! And yes we did stay at a hostel called Czech Inn, in spite of its cringe worthy name it turned out to be great value as we had a huge room to ourselves with a view and ensuite, more a hotel than hostel. We hit all …
