Praha!
... of peppercorns on top, and deliciously dense rye bread is all the go. It's been lovely but I wont be sorry to turn my back on the doing the dishes!
Tomorrow we are booked on the train to Krakow, Poland. We expect to spend about 4-5 nights there before catching the train on to Berlin. Then it's Russia (yay!) and Cairo - where I'm sure we will collapse from heat exhaustion after all this negative ...
