I'm walking in Prague
... 8217;s we walked past the Museum of Torture. As it was open quite late, we decided to pop in for a look. There were lots of interesting and horrible things. One interesting thing I’ll share is that the Hapsburg Empress Maria Teresa, who everyone had said she’s so lovely, had actually authored a book on torture! That was a surprise. I’m not sure why we went in there as we both came out horrified, had to walk back in the dark and I was worried I’d have ...
I chickened out on the bike ride

Write again soon. Hope you are all well and happy. Love D-M (and Pete) ...
Prague in the (almost) Springtime
... ankle deep in mud and smack bang in the middle of this homeless squat. That was when we started to realise something was amiss and we beat a hasty retreat while hungry beggars looked on like villains from “The Road”. It took us about an hour to get back to the Bridge, which was quite nice by twilight (yes, we left for the bridge at midday.) We flitted about on the other side of the bridge for a bit, which was a bit posh, then went home for the second ...
