Heluan Karlovy Vary

... pan and cook our first dinner this week, so not all bad.<br><br>in karlovy vary we buy the teeniest tiniest cup and try some water from every fountain. some taste like blood and we wonder if we have reached dracula country early. oh well, at least we will probably live a few extra years according to the, ah hem, medical advice.<br>

... br><br>We have experienced Manitou and the Dead Sea, since we are here, we are going to Karlovy Vary to try out the waters. We have been looking online as to where we can float in the water, but there only seem to be spas who do all kinds of treatment, some with Dr.'s prescriptions. They also drink the water.<br><br>We arrive at the tourist office and ask where we go to float in the water. Well, there isn&#8217;t any ...

... 5.30am. Not having had much sleep on the 11 hour flight it was a bit of a struggle to function like a normal human! But Munich was fantastic, a great combination of old and modern...everyone gets around on their bikes around the city which is pretty cool. Jarrad has spent a fair bit of time in Munich so was great to be there with someone who knew all the places to go. Felt obliged to induldge as the locals do so we went to a great gourmet market and had beer ...

We took a day trip to this beautiful crystal and spa town. It is noted for its water. People come from all over. It is suppose to help ailments of all kinds. There are several places in town that sell ceramic vases to use to drink from the fountains throughout the city. We strolled around for several ...

... tale town, but it was so windy we couldn't stay long. The only way up or down was on an old squeeky elevator since they were re-painting the stairs so we had to wait like a herd od sheep to squeeze into it. Yesterday took us to a REAL castle, 750 years old and just like a fairy tale surrounded by a river moat. It was complete with torture chambers and dungeons,( our favorite part and the best haunted house ever!) and a tower to keep the princesses safe-pics to ...

... to find out that it is no longer in business. We also went to see the famous astrological clock that has a skeleton pulling the bell chimes on the hour (we'll post the video when we return). Celina also had some fun at another sekach (thrift store) and had fried cheese on a bun from a street vendor (and she didn't get sick). Speaking of food, one of our visits in Prague was to my aunt Liba's, who lived through communism as a ...

... 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 ...

... places that have only but fame to save them from oblivion. There's nothing particularly special about it. A small town built at the banks of this river. Hot springs are all over the town, so are older people a lot of Russian crowds. At the end of the winding road by the river, there is the Hotel Pupp, where the latest James Bond movie, casino royal was filmed. Other than that, by 5.00pm the street is empty and only restaurants are open. The scenery is marvelous, the river, the ...

So after spending a night in the city of Plzen, Karlovy Vary seems that much more glamorous. Here there is nothing but tourists, stores, spas and hotels, but in Plzen, I was the only tourist it seemed like. The hotel (if you can even call it that) was a room in some dorms. My suite mates were a couple old guys. I am really tired now from the walking I guess. I really like Karlovy Vary, everything that went wrong in Plzen is going right here. For example, the bus station is at the ...

... After remaining in the water the rose becomes hard and it looks as if it is made of iron.<br>And get one of those small pots they sell in the souvenir shops and try taste the water!<br>The pots are designed in such way that it is as if you drink out of a straw.<br><br>I would definitely like to visit this place again and probably spend ...
