Praha
This is a top pick! Arrival in Prague. We feel the freedom. We feel the difference. The world is not so shiny anymore. Not so much color. Just old things. Old trains. Old signs. Old benches. Old train station. Somehow lovely. The sun is not shining. Rain is about to fall. ...
nite nite, sleep tight....
... in Paris, as well as a giant metronome sculpture that doesnt work... but I think that might be more of a memorial thing for the Czech composers instead (Chopin, Dvorak) but the jurys still out on that one. To its credit, it has a cool castle up on a ...
Prague
Praha was beautiful. We had tons of free time in Prague and it was great. I do have to say that on the first day I got separated from my tour and was left wandering around Prague on my own. I know, good job...chalk one up to me but it was actually a ...
First Hike near Srbsko
... and we arrived at the destination with plenty of energy, excitement, and beer. If I have failed to mention this so far the Czech Republic does not have any laws on open carry containers of alcohol nor do they have any laws concerning: Public urination, ...
Po strastiplne ceste jsem dorazil do Prahy (Prag)
Cesta prostě nikdy nemůže začít na pohodu, to je takovej můj první poznatek. Což o to, zabalení věcí za hodinu podle předem připraveného seznamu bylo na pohodu, ale to že nově zavedená ...
Snowy Capital!
January 24 It's another slightly snowy day, that's lovely! I missed snow so much! So later on today I will be meeting with Daniela (hc: dadla) in Prague. Its great as we have been exchanging emails but never met so far, so I'm quite looking forward ...
But wait... that's not all!
... feel the city and hear its sigh. Enjoy while you can, in some hours it will be dead again, trampled by the tourist herds... Praha is overcrowded and is overhyped, but in the end it still is the most beautiful city I have ever seen. Getting ready to fly ...
Landing in a foreign land.
... Halloween with the Visa application process as well as choosing the place I would want to live for the next 5 months. I chose Prague (Praha); and from what I can tell so far I think I made a very good decision. The flight from San Francisco was ...
Praha-ha-ha-ha
... no go experiences but we've enjoyed most of our accomadation choices. We thought Polish roads were very special until we hit the Czech Republic. We've worked out how road repairs are handled. First, a pothole or sunken area of decrepit old cobbles is ...
Prague...rough halfway point of the tour
Used up an Austrian phonecard we had before we crossed the border into Czech. Was good to hear my mummabears voice, even though it was only briefly. Prague it is then, and the rough halfway point of the tour. It took us an amazingly long 6 ...
The First Night
... at all. We then went to a restaurant and ate with the whole group of around 60 people. They served the traditional Czech Cuisine shnitzle and beer with a side of potato salad. I have quickly learned that it is very customary to be served beer ...
Czechy Us Out!
Entry to follow (I AM kind of travelling here, you know?). Thanks for your patience. Check back ...
Paying Attention to Detail
... we became tired and headed back for a peaceful Sunday and got ready for the next week of classes. This week our Czech language class became a little more difficult with the introduction of numerous verbs as well as all the tenses. The pronunciation of ...
...To Czech Pont Charley
So we got off the train in Prague, and were immediately struck by the language/currency barrier. The ATM only gave cash in huge bills (2000 crowns, or whatever the currency is here), and the ticket machines took coins. Buying Fanta at a local shop didn't ...
Prague and Beyond
... Simen in Norway, we left on the night of the fifth on a twenty-four hour journey to the beautiful city of Prague in the Czech Republic. After passing through towns such as Berlin, and making friends with some Germans, we finally made it to the city on the ...
It's The Little Things
... You learn to use the cross walks and actually look both ways here, just like mommy taught us ha ha. I am only 3 days into the Czech intensive course that is 9 days long of 5 hours each day, but so far it is going pretty well. It is very similar to ...
Paris of the East
... that stuff from St. Louis) was excellent. After lunch we ambled over to the famed Charles Bridge, another landmark of Praha. I'm not sure about it's engineering pedigree, but I do know it's one of the most artistic bridges around. It is lined on ...
Predcestovni potize
Co se muze pokazit se pokazi, zejo. A hlavne ze jsme o tom vcera s Frantou mluvili. Franta povida "to se mi stalo, ze mi normalne z baglu vypadla to zelezna podpera." Ja na to "me se jako prorezala ven, ale nevypadla". Franta "ty mas bagl Doldy ne? No ...
fun wif night trains
We left on a night train from krackow to praha. The night train thing was something that takes a bit of getting used to.. at least on some of these eastern european trains. \we got on earlz enough to get our own box... but unfortunatelz ě more ...
You are nothing without Slovakia.
... cheaper than Prague, too, and felt much less overrun by tourists. I regret that the only time we were able to spend in the Czech Republic was in Prague (besides the one day in Kutná Hora)—the same could be said for Hungary (Budapest) and Poland ...
Trip to Czech Republic
Participation to the World Goldpanning Championship. Learned to goldpan the same day. I did quite ...
Another touristy day
... Damn you, Lonely Planet! You said that there were tonnes English speaking people in this place! Not that I can complain, I am in the Czech Republic, not the English republic! That pretty much sums up my day in Prague. Sunday should be interesting, I have ...
Wow... exhausted
Well i flew into Prague yesterday... I was going to write my daily blog but I got to the hotel and was like hmmm i will just put my head down for a nap, then ill go out. Checked in, got into bed and bam... was out until 4 oclock the next morning... ...
Rach's wonky walk that offends Danes
... so the drive was very pleasant. We both marvelled at how beautiful Bavaria is. We decided that rather than taking the motorway into Czech Republic, we would take some of the back roads. Once again, true to form, Helga was struggling, although this time it ...
Prague Walking Tour.
... interesting aside as we made our way towards Charles Bridge. Two animatronic figures, pissing into a pond in the shape of the Czech Republic. What do you think he is saying??? Another amusing aside on the walk to Charles Bridge was the traffic lights on ...
Sex Machines and a therapeutic clean
... up with the plan to offload most of it tomorrow when we get back to Dresden (trust the German postal service a bit more than the Czech). In spite of having downed our beers, we were still thirsty when we finished packing up after 8 o’clock, so it ...
A trio in eastern Europe - 1
Set off with Ronan and Nico for a little tour in Eastern Europe. We rented a car (a smart !) for the 3 of us, and that proved to be a nice option, for the freedom it granted ...
Praha
... of Telc. Frankly, I found it much more enjoyable to drive about the countryside stopping that places that caught your eye rather than pacing about Praha--and there are no speed limits in the Czech Republic's motorways (at least none that I could ...
