Klub Habitat Hostel Prague

... We then had a
beer in my room that we had bought when we bought breakfast supplies.
The beers were 0.5L and cost 10 koruna (60 cents). After our beers we
headed back to our favourite spot for dinner. I had a curry chicken
plate with garlic potatoes and a beer. It was amazing. Denis had pasta
with a Greek salad. After dinner we headed back to the hostel and
shared our pictures we had taken ...

... the drunkenness some how! After a few more bars and a lot more drinks we ended up in a club which is where my memory begins to get a bit hazy.

Having a bit of a chill out day today as Isy is especially hungover and we have to be up stupidly early tomorrow. All in all Prague has been a great time. The main reason to come here was the night life and I think we've explored that just enough. But there is another side to Prague which isn't very hard to find: beautiful ...

... bell. Mydlar drank at The Green Frog, the only restaurant that would give an executioner a pint and meal. We tried to find the restaurant, somewhere off the Old Town Square. Apparently the chamber where he ate is still there. Would his ghost still linger, drinking some of the fine Bohemian lagers on offer such as Gambrinus or Pilsner Urquell? We never found out. The Green Frog seemed to have vanished, replaced by a tacky frankfurter stand. "Green Frog?" I asked, pointing ...

... to middle level. From Trubsee and Jockpass, you can access the Engstlenalp and Tannalp valley. Good hiking. See my notes Hiking in Engelberg. Recommended in Walking Easy in the Swiss Alps. Altdorf (Uri) Altdorf is just off the main road that goes to the Gottard Tunnel (going through the Alps to Italy). We visited this town a couple of times in 2002 and loved the town, but I don't think it would be a good base for hiking. You have to drive out into the mountains to smaller ...

... was one of the few times I sent home postcards in the whole year. Train tickets were cheap as well. But only if you bought them yourself. If you had to go to the Intourist office (government run travel agency) and tried to buy a ticket on the Trans-Siberian railway for a ticket to Irkutsk (Siberia), the cost was over $100 for the 5 day train trip. But, if you could speak a little Russian (I always attempted to learn as much ...

... cream for desert. This goulash was a little more up-market with carrot, beetroot and onion shredded on the side of the plate and an unidentified round meaty type thing that was sitting with the dumplings. It tasted good so we ate up. Trent again had a half litre of beer, and along with my juice the total was under 500kc (around 20 Euro), so seeing that was all we spent today we were well under budget, and full!!! We then headed down to the ...

... as it has involved a tour of the Jewish quarter and the holocaust memorial (a mite solemn) and a relaxing stroll in the palace gardens in the evening sun. Of course, whilst climbing up to the palace and back (on a mountainous hill on the other side of the river) is hard work we are bot really enjoying it. Tonight we're off for a celebratory meal and some traditional Czech cuisine. See you in Vienna, Richard and Eleanor

... to our old buddies next to the strip club for some pizza. Having already checked out of Pension Tara, we grabbed our bags from the tiny reception area, which by that time was literally full of luggage, and asked the best way to get to the main train station. The woman replied, "which one?" to which we answered, "huh?" Apparently, Prague has two main stations, and while I was looking for our train ticket in my bag, I mentioned that while I couldn't remember the ...

... town across Charles' Bridge, into Stare Mesto (Old Town). We stopped in at a little bar for a couple of fine Czech beers, Golden Pheasant if you are fortunate enough to come across any - delicious!! On Monday the 3rd, we jumped on the ferry and headed into the main square in the Stare Mesto. The architecture in Prague is fantastic, so we spent a couple of happy hours wandering around checking out the buildings, powered by a brioche and an almond croissant. We ...

... It was the most highly recommended towns for its architecture and medieval buildings. When we arrived we booked a room in "Hostel 99" which I suddenly remembered being recommended to me by another traveler when I first arrived in Vienna three weeks ago. We wondered around the cobblestone streets and viewed an ancient baroque castle with battle camps and a mote. I am finally back home, and putting off studying for a test tomorrow to post these pictures instead.
