... the Old Town square. A highlight was the Jewish cemetery where, in a sparse building like a small farm house, the names of every Czech Holocaust victim were inscribed on the walls. Outside, the cemetery - set in a tiny plot of land - was packed so tight ...
Czechin' Out Prague
... plane (thunderstorms) in Milan on our way to Athens. For the last 3 nights we stayed at the Sir Toby Hostel in Prague, Czech Republic. We arrived in Prague by train. The trip took around 6 hours and was thankfully uneventful. After arriving at the hostel ...
Hilary and Geoffy in Prague!

A city once rich from silver

Washing Machine Update and Walking in the Rain
We booked the tour of Punkevni Jeskyne, the huge set of caves leading from the Macocha Abyss. The tickets sell out by lunchtime, so we booked for the next day. We peered over the edge into the abyss. Below us, misty tendrils of what looked like clouds ...
