Hotel Vivaldi Krkonose National Park

... stone bridge with views across the country. Once again the trip getting there and back was just as interesting as being there. Amazing, beautiful countryside. The hike up the mountain was fun – about 1.5hours to get up. When we got to the top the views were magnificent. My pictures really don't do justice to the views or the landscape:

... the scenes but know all and manage all and are the real bosses.

Upon arrival at our hotel in Prague, we got a free basket of fruit. Most of it was not ripe so we ate a couple of pieces and left the rest to ripen and have in a day or so. When we came back to the hotel after our first day out and about, our fruit was gone. At 6:20 P.M. we called guest services and ...

... with little things inside. The son also begs for money. Hope this is not the normal situation in Czech, cos I find it difficult for them and me to deal with begging children. Love to help them all, but cannot of course. Money I never give, some candy I do have. Not the best as well I know, but wanted to give him something. On my way to a bigger dot on my map: Horsovsky Tyn This is a lovely little town, with an information center, where a girl speaks some ...

... watch them bump and grind. It was so weird. People I never would have thought would be really into "dancing" were all over the place. People who seem so shy can completely surprise you. We ended up going both nights which was so tiring but a lot of fun. Plus we were in completely different groups both times. The first night I went with Neal, jess, matt, kellen, Emily, Katie, mike, and ashlee. The second night almost everyone from IBI was there ...

Wow! What a time here. Met up with Rip after a couple of weeks of doing our own thing, Fell in love with this beautiful town. Was told to go here because my mum saw a travel show on it. A quaint town surrounded by a looping river and a fairytale castle. Here we: Went rafting around the river 4 hours! Pulled over for ...

Wow, I just couldn't believe that I was entering my final country. My final continent for that matter! Once in Czech we made our way to Czesky Bouvencia, the hometown of the original Budweiser. A tour of the brewery made it clear that they were not pleased that Anhieser Bush is using the name Budwieser, which means good beer, for their beer. A long lasting legal battle continues this day. While I did not find the light beer to be very tasty, their ...

After 3 months of living in Prague, I finally made the decision to leave. Small problem - when booking my bus ticket, I couldn't get a reasonably priced ticket until a week and a half later, which left me with plenty of time and nothing much to do to fill it. Simple solution - go hiking for a few days! This also allowed me the opportunity to try out some new gear before my next month of hiking around various parts of Europe (I'm taking a small diversion from what I (increasingly ...

... guirlandas, casticais imensos e outros adornos, TODOS FEITOS DE OSSOS HUMANOS. Os ossos pertencem a 40 mil pessoas cujos despojos foram enterrados no cemiterio de Sedlec desde o Seculo 14 (somente em 1318, cerca de 30.000 pessoas foram enterradas no local). Em 1870, Frantisek Rint, um escultor da regiao foi encarregado de reorganizar os ossos do antigo cemiterio, e teve a criativa ideia de fazer as belas (sao belas e minuciosas, sem ...

... Cough. Fiona is soft spoken, polite, and until we have known her for a week, pretty distant. She and Ashley seem like an odd match at first, but as we get to know Ashley outside of the din of the crowded hostel in Prague, he shows his more docile personality and the match makes more sense. He treats her with concern and nurturing attention when she is sick,protects her (allegedly beating the **** out of an attempted pick pocket in Paris), and always making sure she's happy. Still ...

... hotel Strelnice is ideal. Czech out these foods & drinks: I remember their houskové knedlíky (bread dumplings) a side dish that was served with gravy. This is something I haven't ever seen anywhere else and it was quite delicious. Palacinky - these yummy crepes are filled with fruit or jelly and topped with whipped cream and chocolate. It's so hard to choose, so they made it easy ...
