... communist leadership) was really great and definitely worth the fifteen or twenty minutes it takes to watch.

We ended up being quite late to the walking tour (a Sandeman’s New Europe Free Tour) after spending much longer than we thought we would in the museum, but we joined it anyway and it was pretty well-done. Certainly better than the Budapest one, and the guide did not tell us how much we ought to tip. The guide was some American dude with extreme amounts of energy ...

... j'ai eu quelques éléments de réponse, et je comprends un peu mieux cette gare. Ensuite, j'ai passé de longues heures à marcher dans la ville, empruntant les ponts moins parcourus par les touristes, déambulant dans des rues superbes mais presque désertes, me reposant dans un parc avec vue sur la rivière Vltava, qui sépare physiquement Prague... avant de revenir finalement vers l'Auberge, avec dans l'idée de me reposer un peu pour mieux aller prendre des photos de nuit de la ville, ce soir.

... we´d seen on our travels, and the weather we had was perfect. We even went to an ice hockey match which was really really good and with a great local atmosphere. Unbeknownst to us, the security when going to the ice hockey is extremely strict, complete with high level bag scanners and full pat downs. Luckily we were able to stash our bottle of green fairy in the bushes outside (had a laugh when ...

... we all are the type to just pick up and go travel for no good reason (and many of them have been for years). The age range is about 23-33. After we went out last night everyone was on there way home at about 1130 (because public transportation basically stops at midnight even on the weekends except for cabs which cost about as much here as they would in NYC or Washington).

... effects were cool and I liked the music too. One day we did the Ultimate Tour that took us for a four hour walk around the Jewish quarters, the palace, the beautiful main squared and Wenceslas Square. With our ticket price we also got a boat ride along the Vlatva River, lunch, and a ticket for the evening ghost tour. The cathedral in the royal palace ...

... bargain! We stocked up and proceeded to cashier where were realised we would have to carry it back to the hostel and all the steps. It was hard and we got to and through it. With our purchases we planned a little party in our room, but after an hour we were asleep surrounded by masses of, oh well, we saved by getting it cheap even if we did not eat it!. We were up early to pack all our food items, or try and stuff them in places it would never fit in our bags before heading off and to ...

... we caught an overpriced cab to the right one. We were a bit frazzled, but made the train in plenty of time in the end. I was surprised to see that the first class car seemed to have been overbooked (or some people were in the wrong car?) Luckily, we had seat reservations, so no problem for us. And on the train, we heard a couple other groups talk about going to the wrong train station as well. So word to the wise - if you are taking a train from ...

... automatically. At the end, we were given a set of six Stella Artois glasses and three German Soccer Team commemorative glasses in anticipation of the World Cup. Next was a very short stop in Pilsen, the birthplace of pilsner beer. Driving past the brewery, we saw a very old, Roman-esque entryway into the facility where the very tasty Pilsner Urquell is brewed. Nearby was a famous restaurant pub which introduced the beer. Otherwise, the Town Square was beautiful, as ...
