... pan and cook our first dinner this week, so not all bad.<br><br>in karlovy vary we buy the teeniest tiniest cup and try some water from every fountain. some taste like blood and we wonder if we have reached dracula country early. oh well, at least we will probably live a few extra years according to the, ah hem, medical advice.<br>

... br><br>We have experienced Manitou and the Dead Sea, since we are here, we are going to Karlovy Vary to try out the waters. We have been looking online as to where we can float in the water, but there only seem to be spas who do all kinds of treatment, some with Dr.'s prescriptions. They also drink the water.<br><br>We arrive at the tourist office and ask where we go to float in the water. Well, there isn&#8217;t any ...

Sitting in the living room of the house that will be 'homebase' for the next few months. Weird to think that this time last week we were just pootling around Sydney doing our thing!<br><br>Trip via HongKong was great - 2 nights and two days of shopping overwhelm and yummy food. We managed to cram in quite a bit pulling a marathon 12 hour day seeing the sights. Jarrad had the benefit of my shopping expertise and made some good purchases!<br><br>Arrived in Munich on my ...

... then enjoyed a lunch of duck,dumplings and sweet and sour cabbage. I swear Greece and Czech Republic have the best food in the world. I am going to miss it. We will return tomorrow to Amsterdam to connect with our flight home. We are hoping to make the Anne Frank museum if the lines are not too long.

Wow! What a gorgeous town this is! The accomodations and hostess have been amazing and there are so many neat things to see and do here. We have spent our time visiting family and friends and at each we have been enjoying reminiscing about Mirek's family's time living here and looking at old photos which has been so interesting! One of our excusions was to a look-out above the town and took a cable car to get there, the veiws were beautiful especially of the ...

... are flat crisp wafers filled with a hazlenut/sugar flavoring about 10" round. They are exported around the world but here is the only place you can have one fresh hot off the press, so we did, several in fact. (my parents used to buy them for my sisters and I on the promanade, and the same shops still exists) We'll continue with more exploits from Karlovy Vary in the next update.

... we are now. We've been staying with a friend of mine from work in Doha. She lives in a little town close to the border with Germany so we had a day of castles and canoeing yesterday and now it's almost time to head to Prague again before we travel to Croatia for a bit of island hopping and fun. Hope you like the pics. It's awesome being on the road again. Enjoy

... 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 ...

... buildings everywhere. The city is major eye candy. But the best part of Karlovy Vary is the mineral springs. Immediately after entering the downtown area of the city, there were tons of tourists and tourist shops everywhere. There were so many that the city did lose a bit of its glamour, but it was still really cool none-the-less. I started to notice people walking around with highly decorated Porcelain mugs. These mugs ...

This day trip to Karlovy Vary is a must.<br><br>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.<br><br>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 ...
