Hotel Palacky Karlovy Vary

we finally arrive, after twisting jules arm relentlessly, but too late for the bus, cannot wait for two more hours, so we jump in a taxi only to find we have booked ourselves into the gulag, no i mean it. we are staying in prisoner cell block F. we think of crying, but dont want to show fear to the locals.<br><br>we do manage to find a ...

... 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 ...

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 ...

... then enjoyed a lunch of duck,dumplings and sweet and sour cabbage. I swear Greece and Czech Republic have the best food in the world. I am going to miss it. We will return tomorrow to Amsterdam to connect with our flight home. We are hoping to make the Anne Frank museum if the lines are not too long.

... The standimg room tickets were $4, a hot dog was $1 ad a 1/2 litre of beer was $1.56-CRAZY! The calibre of hockey is high and the atmosphere was awesome-lots of singing and chanting. 80% of the attendees were sporting team colors and the most popular accessory was a scarf with the team colors which was waved wildy after a goal-unfortunately, we scored one lass goal than the other team and lost 2-3 in overtime, but what fun despite standing in concrete ...

... are flat crisp wafers filled with a hazlenut/sugar flavoring about 10" round. They are exported around the world but here is the only place you can have one fresh hot off the press, so we did, several in fact. (my parents used to buy them for my sisters and I on the promanade, and the same shops still exists) We'll continue with more exploits from Karlovy Vary in the next update.

... few days which was awesome, then we flew on to Amsterdam for a few days. That place is beautiful. We ate some fantastic food and had a great time looking around the canals and seeing a few sights like the Anne Frank and Van Gogh's artwork. Craig met us in Amsterdam and we then took a flight to Denmark to go see my friends and family and show Craig a little ...

... to walk a very long distance to find ourselves at the train station, board on the train which was basic to say the least..... and arrive in Prague OVER 3 HOURS LATER grrrrrr You may want to issue return tickets when visiting Karlovy Vary... Before leaving, do try those big round wafers. You may also buy special cups and try the thermal water, but it may get messy as they advise it may be tough on your stomach... Even so, the place is crawling with WC about every hundred meters...

... by overweight Russian and German women, complete with furs, little yappy dogs, oversized sunglasses, and the most amazingly bad hair dye jobs, you'd swear they were wigs from the Communist era. These spas promise weight loss, cure of digestive problems, skin conditions, and probably even pledge to cure homicidal tendencies and Russian citizenship, if you look closely enough at the fine print. My spa experience at ...

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 ...
