Mitera Hotel Harrachov

... the euro. I can't blame them really. From what i could gather, Poland was becoming more and more expensive, yet wages hadn't kept pace. It was a similar story in most of eastern Europe. The barbecue Anita's uncle put on that afternoon was by far the best meal I have had in years. It was just barbied bits of flesh, but the meat was so tender and delicious. Something hard to find back in London. <br><br>Three days went quickly, and before we knew it ...

... Mountains is part of the larger Sudetes range. Its highest peak is Sniezka which stands on the border between the Poland and Czech Republic - at a height of 1602 meters above sea level. The mountains are wonderful for trekking and ski. Large areas of the mountains are preserved as National Park.<br><br>To see photos from Jelenia Gora and Mountains please click here:<br>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =7KSPFn6p9Y0

... Germany the food and especially the beer is great and expectedly even cheeper. I think the beer here is probably our favorite tipple in the world, its that good. No matter how much Czech beer you drink its always light and fresh and never leaves you with much of a hangover, I think it has something to do with the local water. We stayed on a proper camp site filled the fridge with cold beers and had a evening sampling the local brews, bliss.<br><br>The rest of ...

al the former eastern bloc countries make for good travel,, but the one that i return to is the czech republic,, mainly to the north [north bohemia],liberec,harrochov,cesky raj, but a trip or two to moravia is also worth taking,,. during the communist times it was an eye opener, now also as the people wish for the return of those times,they knew where their bread was coming from, and the upgrades fron old skoda to super fast motorcars,, ah they stilll are crazy on the roads

Tento vikend sme s kamosmi v Liberci na severe Ciech. Prisli sme sem rovno zo San Diega, tak je to trochu teplotny sok. Ked sme s Dzozim odchadzali zo San Diega bolo krasnych 26 stupnov, ale ked sme prisli do Liberca bolo len okolo desat stupnov a poriadny vietor. Ale ako sa hovori, poriadne planovanie robi ...

... together, that I think it is a miracle we did not kill each other. We had enough of each other from time to time, but I reckon it`s pretty normal when you`re spending with someone 24 hours a day. None of us has an easy going personality. Marcin is this kind of a person that takes one step forward, e.g. he`d tell me sth personal, then he takes two steps back - for instance he`d be teasing me all day long. Considering ...

... church in the Sudetes, situated at 886m, and was well worth the visit. We left Karpacz around 2pm, and after snaking our way through the scenic winding roads of the former Sudetenland, we decided to have a break at Ksiaz castle, near Walbrzych. This is the largest castle in Silesia, and I imagined we'd find a nice quiet place in the gardens to rest for a while and take in the view. I couldn't have been more wrong, as we stumbled upon some kind of festival once we passed through the gate ...

9/10/07 Day 71 Today we travelled into the Czech Republic to a town called Trutnov just across the boarder near the alps. it's a cold day but the roads were gratefully uneventful and we arrive in the afternoon. Having no currency we headed off to find a bank and the shops, we get out 2000 Zakona and only get 2 notes, the problem is we have no idea what the exchange is, and can only guess. We do the shopping for just over 1000z and wonder if it was a ...

... tourist office with an odd accent. We will be camping on the outskirts of Liberec in the little village of Januv Dul. We bought a camping book of Europe and discovered this off beat campground. As we embark our drive over the mountain pass the rain launches itself in hard, massive drops! I begin thinking that rain is not the best alternative at this moment. Tom is already hesitant about camping and the rain ...

... Spindleruv Mlyn, my intended stop for the night. I say intended stop, as it was only 1.30 by this point. I rested my feet for a little while and had some lunch, and then made what was probably quite a bad decision. I figured Harrachov was only about 15km distant, and I could make it by nightfall. I overlooked the fact that there was a bloody big mountain in the way, by the time I set off I only had 6 hours before dusk, and it was actually over 20km to go from where I was, not 15. I should ...
