Village House Prague

... some seem to have gone from summer green directly to late fall dead without much color in between. Looking at the parks around town through, you can see some lovely colors in the trees.

Now we have a morning to fill and we had not visited the Loreto which is on the list of Prague’s top 10. Took our usual tram to get up the hill. As we are walking towards the palace, we duck into the gardens and wander ...

... off when you buy a ticket worth 50 cents (or so) with a bill that is worth 50 dollars. Now times that by 20 with all the other travelers that did it before you and you get one angry lady! I ended up taking the tram in the wrong direction and had to back track, but I finally made it. The hostel is a little further away from the old town, but it is on a tram line that will take me straight there. I had asked to be put in a female dorm, but there ...

... some pictures before too long. Oh and the experience of a lifetime for me... the astrological clock that goes off ever hour. It is a must see! Little statues do subtle movements a cookoo goes off oh, I tell you it's an experience not to be missed. But the statues and churches and castles are just amazing. Well back to Gemany tomorrow and into Munich.

... were just packed with tourists and really kind of expensive. The castle was nice, but I would not recommed paying the entrance fee to get into the buildings, as they are pretty boring and all the signs are in Chez which is impossible to read (unlike german, where you can fake it a bit). The old town is beautiful but it's a lot of the same, Barouque and Art Neuveau style buildings. The cafes and restraunt in the old town have ...

... The city itself is beautiful. Within the old town so many historical sights are still kicking and the average flat is over 60 years old. Within our neighborhood each floor of the buildings boasted a different style of window, a quirky architectural design that I admired. The city held a certain air of romance as the seasons changed, which I thought was best seen from one of the beer gardens overlooking the city. Then there ...

... dance them across the stage as if they are floating. Very simple yet amazing show. The story was called "The Yellow Submarine" so was about the Beatles - very simple and easy to follow (there was no dialogue). Our last night there we did a night cruise on the river complete with dinner buffet and live band. The food was great, music not bad but the actual sights seen from the boat not that stunning. Travelled through 2 locks total 3 ...

... place to stay. The busker, who it transpired was her companion, came inside to join the confabulation. In no time we were heading in convoy to another hostel, exchanging life-stories and making plans to meet in the evening and head to a jazz bar that they knew. The Travellers Hostel, on an island in the Vltava, was ideally located with very friendly staff. The room, however, was a thirty-bed dorm with wafer-thin mattresses stuffed with rocks. I ...

... seen and a ride only costs 50 cents or so. Prague is an old city, that has not been ravaged by war, only communism, but is still pretty authentic without the commercialization of Western Europe. It has grand plazas and small brick roads, old buildings and heroic statues. It is definitely not as cheap as we had expected or hoped, but we are still enjoying it a lot. Last night, we started by meeting Jed and Seth (Phil's roommate Jed from ...

... a key. I must admit, we got a little irked when we went into "our" apartment and found 6 bags on the floor and the place in a right state as somebody was already staying there. So, back out into the rain and we waited until somebody came to sort out our problem. An hour later, just before midnight, we were into our home for the next 3 days, an apartment with a terrace and views of Prague Castle and the Old Town square from the ...
