... 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>

... an instant head ache so didn&#8217;t have any more. Len seemed to enjoy it.<br><br>The town is very beautiful, lots of fancy painted buildings, beautiful flowers, and flower boxes. Lots and lots of restaurants for all those tourists walking around with their cups drinking the water.<br><br>There are also an incredible number of spas treating digestive system diseases, metabolism defects, diseases of the locomotive organs and ...

Sitting in the living room of the house that will be 'homebase' for the next few months. Weird to think that this time last week we were just pootling around Sydney doing our thing!<br><br>Trip via HongKong was great - 2 nights and two days of shopping overwhelm and yummy food. We managed to cram in quite a bit pulling a marathon 12 hour day seeing the sights. Jarrad had the benefit of my shopping expertise and made some good purchases!<br><br>Arrived in Munich on my ...

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 ...

... We also were treated to a dinner at the same castle with Mirek's cousin and girlfriend-I of course had the suckling pig......not! But Mirek did have castle goulash with bacon dumplings and says it was yummy! One of our goals was to get to a hockey game and we were fortunate enough to take one on last night, the top league in Czech is the 'Extra Liga" which many former NHL'ers play in including Roman Chechmanek who was playing in net for the team Karlovy Vary ...

... 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).

Speaking of food, one of our visits in Prague was to my aunt Liba's, who lived through communism as a ...

... why I love going back so often. It was the most amount of food we have eaten so far and the parties weren't too far behind either. Denmark to Berlin where we stayed a few days and did the touristy sights. Neither of us realised what a cool city it was before we arrived. It is a place to go for sure!! From Berlin we took a train to the Czech Repbulic ...

... trees, walnut trees, a vegetable garden, an acre of clover and hay, a courtyard, a stone barn, and a well. The neighbors regularly bring us wheelbarrows of potatos, baskets of strawberries and cucumbers, fresh eggs, slaughtered rabbits, ducks and various cuts of pork. Most sunny days we try to get out into the forests and go mushroom picking and run into the occasional wild boar or deer. The area around us, the region of Zatec, is world famous ...

... people approach her for directions and she said never. I haven't actually heard the 'spa orchestra' but I did walk by a hotel on Sat. night and could see people ballroom dancing to a live band. And the foreign languages are mainly Russian as there are busloads of tourists every day from Prague and as well most guests are Russian in the hotels. I have not had any sustained conversation with anyone since I got here, as most English is rudimentary and only ...

This day trip to Karlovy Vary is a must.<br><br>It is such a beautiful city famous for its hot springs. Nice beautiful houses, and the river running through the city makes the place a paradise.<br><br>Don't forget to buy (a rose).....it is about a real flower rose which is left for quite a time in the hot springs and the result is amazing ...
