we do manage to find a ...

... an instant head ache so didn’t have any more. Len seemed to enjoy it.

The town is very beautiful, lots of fancy painted buildings, beautiful flowers, and flower boxes. Lots and lots of restaurants for all those tourists walking around with their cups drinking the water.

There are also an incredible number of spas treating digestive system diseases, metabolism defects, diseases of the locomotive organs and ...

... 5.30am. Not having had much sleep on the 11 hour flight it was a bit of a struggle to function like a normal human! But Munich was fantastic, a great combination of old and modern...everyone gets around on their bikes around the city which is pretty cool. Jarrad has spent a fair bit of time in Munich so was great to be there with someone who knew all the places to go. Felt obliged to induldge as the locals do so we went to a great gourmet market and had beer ...

We took a day trip to this beautiful crystal and spa town. It is noted for its water. People come from all over. It is suppose to help ailments of all kinds. There are several places in town that sell ceramic vases to use to drink from the fountains throughout the city. We strolled around for several ...

... 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 ...

... mother working 3 jobs and now overfeeds everyone (out of love, of course), she laid out a major spread for us and kept the food coming, and coming, and coming, you get the picture. Of course it is considered offencive to decline this generosity so needless to say I did not feel too well that night and had a restless nights sleep. After a couple of days in Prague, my uncle Otto (my dad's brother) came from Karlovy Vary to pick us up ...

... 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 ...

... places that have only but fame to save them from oblivion. There's nothing particularly special about it. A small town built at the banks of this river. Hot springs are all over the town, so are older people a lot of Russian crowds. At the end of the winding road by the river, there is the Hotel Pupp, where the latest James Bond movie, casino royal was filmed. Other than that, by 5.00pm the street is empty and only restaurants are open. The scenery is marvelous, the river, the ...

... at the lens I don't see anything blocking it - short and simple the camera is ****ed. Luckily, my faith in Olympus has greatly been reduced since I have had to return the camera twice already; I decided to bring a spare camera. When I fished it out of my bag the camera wouldn't turn on. The battery must have died. Now I am ****** off. I take out my camera, which captures images with a thick black bar through it and I ...

This day trip to Karlovy Vary is a must.

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.

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 ...
