After the few days in Zagreb we finaly moved to Prague, which meant back on the beloved autocar, but this time our
sentence it was only 12 hours- this thrilled me! Once in capital of Czech republic we had to change currency yet again
and try and figure out the prices and sings again...
I was a little worried when I saw and smelled inside of our hotel.
And fine it was - we lived in the luxury for two weeks days in a nice cozy appartment at no extra money.

We explored the town by subway and on foot the first day and took a walking tour the next day. My favorite parts was
eating more Goulash and (they really love to eat) potato dumplings.
One great surpirse was the falling of snow on the first night in the city. We all felt a romance and wished we
had a cute someone to cozy up to.The next morning we awoke to a white blanket of snow out our aprtment.
It suddenly became very cold - which resulted in my purchase of a flashy winter hat.
World War II left Prague slightly unscathed in comparison to the rest of central and western Europe. The city looks like
disney world (and felt like it too with all the crowds of tourists!!) with its colorful fairy-tale style architecture.
Did you know that The Czech republic has the highest beer consumption in the world?? You need to make a stop sign in a pub,
if you don't want to be completely wasted - NO MORE.
Well now we both do, and I can say that the beers there are VERY good, try one some time!
And of course, yours truly did a sampling of the desserts in the Czech Republic and the conclusive report is that the yummy
apple strudels are to die for...
One of my favorite memories is crossing the infamously beautiful 1000 years old Charles Bridge, with all its street vendors
Richard and I took a stroll through Wencelas Main Square where Mozart premeired his opera Don Giovanni.

Of course it was easy to find net cafes to buy my favorite phone card from justphonecard.pushline.com bizon or penny boss
and I was set for couple of hours of talking with friends and relaties.


We had beautiful time at opera in National Theatre. Aida was just simply flawless.

To all of you out shopping in central Europe is lots of adventure! Clothing and traveling equpment are products of the
Czech republicand I could not resist buying myself a new backpack since it is my birthstone the currency is not the
Euro yet,
Cathedral of Saint Vit has a massive history, it took many four centuries to complete it and its architectural style spans
several centuries. You can eat a four courser with a few beers ordrinks and dessert and pay the same price as one would
pay for a salad and water in London!
