Aquapalace Hotel Prague

... landed we went through customs and he stamped a blank page, grrr, I only have so many pages left. A bus took us to a train where we came out of the station to a gorgeous church. Our hotel was just a few blocks away and our room turned out to be great; we even had wireless internet in our room with more than one ...

... we ended up next to the towns ice hockey stadium and wandering happily through the old town of baroque frontages and towers before reveling in the new cities Art Nouveau splendours including the gorgeous East Bohemia Museum designed by Kotera and the hydro-electric plant and mosied through the gardens contained Ukranian wooden church transported whole in the 30s to the confluence of the Elbe and Orlice rivers. Again ...

... avoid some expensive drunk phone calls the prospect of them reviweing video footage was a little scary! We spent our last day eating and sleeping and wandering through a park! Of course nothing is ever normal for us and this park turned out to be one where every druggy and homeless man goes to shoot up! Ha ha! Very scary! Anyway the flight home was delayed and our hotel made us wait to get in and by 2am we were in bed and stressing bout what will come of us the next day......

... VIDEO taped the entire concert! I went to the concession stand and asked them to write down on a piece of till tape in Czech "Can you please send me a few of your photos or videos". He looked at me very odd but happily obliged. As I was copying out what he wrote a few more times the entire concession crew was looking at me funny when suddenly a light bulb clicked for them and they all said at the same time "What did you want to write ...

... onto the luggage racks. We settled in for the 12 hour journey. The first part of the journey was pretty slow but after a while we were into the Julian Alps of Slovenia. We went through the border checkpoint at Austria and then we were in the Austrian Alps. The mountains around us began to take on awesome proportions and the snow got deeper and deeper. We passed pretty mountain villages that were neck deep in snow and pine forests laden with a frosty covering. It was all ...

... to catch the Tourture Museum.. that was more interesting than expected. Oh i have pictures to upload from there... Including the super scary.... The big signs on all the doors in the museum told the saavy consumer to avoid picture taking. However... as I am NOT a Saavy consumer.. i took pictures anyway.. I know what your thinking.. a rebel without a cause.. and what can i ...

... in before our 2am bus to Prague, and I arranged for us to meet a few people through the hospitality club website for some drinks. It wasn't long before we had to find our bus though, and I slept for most of the journey, waking only when we crossed the Vltava River in Prague. I knew we'd arrived, as the apartment buildings lining the river were of the sort I'd only seen in movies. Even though it was still dark and only just gone 7am I was pretty excited to be there. We had a ...

... here. The people I had met before coming here said it is not to be missed and they are right. I'm back, fire alarm went off in building, they claim something got extremely hot and set it off???????Extremely. Now it was not the regular sounding alarm, so went to the door, a women was walking casually down the hall - I ask "is that a fire alarm?" She answers "must be it is not your phone" -smart a--. Went back to room to grab some things, guess ...

... liter of beer. You know how much that cost? 240 coronas...muwahaha....with an exchange rate of 1:24 that equated to $10. Man, being in England right now, where every dollar is only worth 50 pence, I would kill to go back to Prague. We were going to head to Budapest from Prague, but we had our fill of Eastern Europe and the shadiness that coincides with it. We were ready for civilization again.

... travel every month from Prague, and we should, because that's pretty much the point of being here. So our long term plan is a trip to Greece when Marty hopes the wild flowers will be blooming in late March. And we think we should get back to Rome or Venice or both while it is still much warmer there than here. And at roughly that point, when it's warming up here, we'll start going east and west and north more than south. It is beautiful here now for a few days. We were too ...
