Day 20 - Linz to Prague

Well I set the alarm for 9am because Noni said we would do breakfast, but I didn't really get up until my hotel phone rang (Noni) to say she was going down for breakfast now... So I did breakfast because it involved my friend coffee.... Then I packed up to check out but Noni had to do lots of stuff to pack up her stuff from the past 3 months so I chilled in her room until we had to leave for the train. Twas a lot of stuff, heavy stuff. Somehow we managed to get it on the tram and to the train...

Day 21 - Prague the tour

Noni's alarm went off which meant getting up because we wanted to do another tips only walking tour thing that I had done in Berlin and we had done in Dublin. We also needed breakfast after not having dinner the night before. It being a Sunday, however, many shops didn't seem to be open and the first I saw with a sign out was Subway. It was Subway, nothing really interesting there (except maybe that they still had the stamps system). Anyway, outside of Subway, the road was partitioned off bec...

Day 22 - Prague the castle

Well getting out of the hotel/hostel was a very slow business this morning - first there was the waking up, and then the getting up and then the getting off the internet and finally the going out of the door to get breakfast before lunchtime. I think I was slow because I noted the rain outside. Anyway, we had to take our dirty washing to a dry cleaners (we were told that there was no laundromats and both our dirty washing situation was dire) and then searched for breakfast, in the rain. It ra...

Pleasant Prague

Welcome one and all, allow me to invite you into the world of Noni as she ventures forth into the Bohemian Capital... So three days ago I wrote to you from the London airport. That night, I had dinner at an all-you-can-eat Mongolian restaurant with some people in Linz, and I was sad to say goodbye (again)... We didn't get time to see Linz or even do our laundry, as it took me most of the next morning to pack up my four months worth of **** and decide what to take home or leave behind. As we w...

Beer Me!

... plus a large hop warehouse fire and the worldwide hop supply was dwindling while growers had to replant. Now the hops are back and it isn’t quite a crisis anymore.

We are finally down to the cellars after going past the large copper covered tanks where the beer is mashed and hops added. Down here we are treated to a new beer. It has not yet been filtered and pasteurized but boy is ...

beer tourism...

... in it's main square.).

The brewery tour was 90 mins long and I'm sure the gentleman conducting the tour was the human muse for the creation of 'The Count' on sesame street, his hair didn't move, sadly there were no mirrors anywhere so I couldn't check for a reflection... He was a brilliant tour leader and was happy to answer any ...

The Riot

... I got squished. He thought of soccer matches where people are literally squished to death and briefly considered punching through the window to pull me out. But it seemed too dangerous and so he stayed there hands on the window watching and hoping. Then, he saw the cop take my hand and get me out of there. Relief filled him and he turned to run to the door and meet me.

But when he got there he joined a crowd of people trying to do ...

Visiting the Pilsner Urquell Brewery

Today we went to the Pilsner Urquell brewery in Plzen. Pilsner, the type of beer, originated here, where Pilsner Urquell was brewed from local crops and local mineral water. The tour was awesome. We saw the traditional brew kettles and the modern ones, as well as a very modern new packaging plant. We also tasted some unpastuerized beer directly from fermenting barrels.

Half Day Trip to Karlstejn Castle

Arrived in Karlstejn on the "City Elephant" train at 1.20pm and walked 2km to the Karlstejn Castle. Went on the 2.30pm English tour of the castle which took about an hour. No photography allowed inside the castle. Took in the views over the town before walking back to the train station and catching the train back to Prague.

Early days

... shopping cart in a grocery store. You can almost always see people walking their dogs. Pedestrians have right of way, though drivers may not like it. They should wait for you at every corner, but many will not if they can avoid it. Most busy corners have painted walkways, and you should be able to enter any time and cross, unless there is a cross light. But you want to keep an eye out for drivers who don't like to stop. In closing, let me mention that many people of all ages give ...
