Apollon Prague

... down the side of the church – or one can go through a classical music store (!) to get there! Given this awkward location, it’s actually easier to see the church’s façade from the opposite side of the square. The church was built in the 15th century as a Hussite (Jan Hus) stronghold. Inside, the church has an amazing rococo altar. Interestingly, it also contains two tiny windows on its south wall that once looked into the bedroom of the teenage ...

Our hotel has a free breakfast and we were surprised at how much food they put out and how good it was. So we loaded up before heading out to explore more of the city. The artwork is interesting and unlike what I would expect in such an old city, I guess it is constantly reinventing itself.


We chose a neighborhood we hadn't seen before and climbed the crisscrossing steep hill to find rose gardens at the top and beautiful views ...

... experiences to mention, one was the gut-warming, lip-smacking hot mead sold at a market at the base of Prague Castle (I may introduce it to Canada, it could become a national obsession), and two was the Country Life vegetarian restaurant which was like heaven descended to me in a continent obsessed with sausage.

To be perfectly frank, I don't see the typical grouchy Czechs that tourists seem to complain about. My experiences have been that Czechs are definitely a reserved bunch... however, beneath the stoic facade, I've found them to be warm, hospitable, and ...

... has become an end in itself...to lure people to a place just to make money...devaluing the natural beauty that existed for all of history. Exploitation of God and man's creations...I guess I am in part to blame as I buy into it and travel about here, despite the expense and despite the twisted motives... I loved Salzburg. It has rained for the last 3 days of our trip, and yet in Salzburg, the rain did not seem offensive, whereas here in Prague, it ...
