There are also an incredible number of spas treating digestive system diseases, metabolism defects, diseases of the locomotive organs and ...

... sausages for lunch. Was half cut - half a litre of beer with jetlagg...interesting combination.

Flew from Prague on the dodgiest little plane, Jarrad was pulling sticky tape off the cabin and announcing outloud that we might not make it alive. Hmmmmm they also made the mistake of asking him to complete the customer survey...

... No joke. Needed to get this long one out now so the others can follow soon enough after. After an interesting year and half in Doha, Qatar I thought it was time to hit the road again and see what else is around the corner. As it turns out once again there is heaps. I arrived in London and spent a week seeing mates and going out to Wimbledon for a look ...

... and the dogs. It was at this moment that Charles is credited with discovering the healing powers of the Karlovy Vary mineral springs.

In the morning we rode the funicular (a train that goes up the mountain in Karlovy Vary) to the top and got some great pics of the city...we had lunch up there ...

This day trip to Karlovy Vary is a must.
