Juno Prague

... br>We are staying in a hostel in the Old Town. It’s near the Old Town Square, which is a huge square that is popular with both locals and tourists. Really neat buildings and cathedrals surround the square. One of the main attractions is the Astronomical Clock on the bell tower of the Old Town Hall. It’s a very one-of-a-kind clock. There are actually two clocks, the one on the top is the real Astronomical one and the bottom is one that has a calendar with ...

It's midnight and our internet is sketchy, so I (Ryan) will do my best. We will update more in detail, probably after we are back in the US. <br>Our last two days in Prague were rainy and chilly, but we tried to amuse ourselves by finding bad translations on signs. It seems they struggle with english a bit more than they do in Germany.<br>Examples: At the Prague castle gardens-"Keep the grass"<br>for breakfast on May 29: Scrumbled eggs<br>On a ...

... away from the chocolate, it turns to concrete within seconds of being served!!! After the dancing house, we thought of going once again to the bridge and get some shots of it during daytime. At the foot of the bridge, we discovered the medieval torture museum which naturally couldn't resist visiting. 3 floors filled with stories of pain, not bad for an afternoon stroll. We then headed back at the hotel and tried to get some rest while ...

... our hour long cruise in more beautiful, sunny, warm weather, we walked through Old Town again on our way to the restaurant for lunch. Again I had a beer with my meal, and this one was certainly better than the boat's but still nothing special by a long shot. The two Aussie boys were now sitting across from us and they agreed that the beer was nothing to brag about so far. And it sounded like they had done quite a bit of sampling the night before. The meal, on ...

Our Departure was somewhere around 5:20pm and I was traveling back home from Daniels house 3 train stops away and the time was around 12:30 so I had plenty of time to get home, pack, and walk back to the station. The first problem I had and it's a problem I always have is that Balcombe has a small population and that during the day trains stop only once on the hour, at Burgess Hill its twice and at Hayward's Heath it's 4. I got on the ...

... however, they have learned well what feeds them, foreigners, particularly in the tourist areas and many locals speak quite good English.<br><br>Our hotel located on the west side of the Vlatava River was in a very quiet neighbourhood in Lesser Town, below the Prague Castle and across the river from the tourist infested Old Town. The interiors were reminiscent of a royal Prussian salon, even though it was a very small hotel of 10 suites. As we were to find ...

... city, but those of you who said I would love it...Rory...you were right. The people are interesting. There are a lot of women with mullets, and lots of women dye their hair wine red. I mean lots of them. It's weird. Czech is mostly meaningless to me, but there are lots of words that look like English, only missing a letter here or there. And some are the same as English, only with the plural 'y' at the end, making entertaining words like 'notebooky.' I heard that 27 percent ...

... It's horrible to think someone could actually pull something like that off!! we are also found a river side cafe, and market place.. and row boats may or may not be involved... so thats the plan for today, and as for tomorrow we are going to the Prague Symphony that is held at the castle, Laura is absolutely ecstatic and can't wait, and it'll be an allaround great experience, but I'm going to leave it there and she can let you know how that night turns out! love you all kate laura

Today dawned pretty drizzly - not that I was up anytime near dawn, clearly having been awake 'til ungodly hours updating this thing. Scratch my plans for walking through pretty suburbs. This was all about curling up in a nice cafe with a book. I followed my first day's tracks towards the Basilica, intent on finding one of those places I'd noticed and noted and lost. Success came in the form of a tiny wooden hole, two tables - one a tea ...
