We rented bikes in Old Town and rode them around the city. Turns out, bikes are a great way to get around Prague (except for the cobblestones), and we got to see parts of the city that we'd never seen before on foot or by public transport. Here's Leon with his bike and his Lance Armstrong face....
Weird day. Well, weird night, too. I had a dream about driving to work, only I took a route past my regular drinking haunt, which is actually in the opposite direction. I was anxious about something (probably going in the wrong direction) and focusing hard on the road ahead when someone crashed into...
Ahoy! Every place I visit, I seem to compare to my previous destinations and come up with some kind of judgement. Amsterdam is the place that I most want to live, Berlin is the place that I would go on weekend trips, and Prague is the place that I would to think retrospectively. Prague itself is a...
Historical facts, blah blah, things we did in the moment, blah blah, PICTURES! Yeah, I suck at getting pictures posted and stories told. So in completely half ass fashion, here are just pictures from the remaining cities of the Mom & AmyH Eastern Europe Extravaganza. First Vienna - full of big and...
That was a pretty common answer to MomH's frequent questions "Who is that for? Why are we going here? How do you know about that?" etc. After meeting DKN, Cranky and the Cap'n in person, she knows my 'hood is a pretty good group of peeps. Even if Cap'n is a weirdo. :-P I've been so late in getting...
i was so close to almost blogging on a regular basis. so close! now we're back to once a month or so. so recap...the rest of april was me trying to catch up in school i feel like we had another week off in there somewhere... oh no we didn't because we'd just had feria. right i remember now, we had...
The view from L & G's place, originally uploaded by shinwha. Last weekend, an older couple we know in Prague invited us to dinner at their home. They have this amazing, top-floor apartment in the middle of Old Town. Besides the lovely dinner, we were treated to the wonderful views from their...
One week left of vacation! Prague is hot and cute. Hot, as in I'm wearing a halter top and at 10am I'm already too warm. The beer is good, the tourists are annoying, and wtf is up with the tacky crystal goods and marionettes?? Anyway, I am starting to think about things I will be coming back to in...
I'm writing about this way after the fact, but on May 1 Leon and I crossed our first thing off from my list. A friend told me about this Czech holiday/tradition, which I will let the internet explain for me: In the Czech Republic the first of May traditionally marks Labour Day, a national holiday...
This is hurting my head. I have started in earnest to learn Czech. I lived in Vienna for a while and took German classes, I did not find it easy, however it did seem possible and I did start to understand what people were say and I could speak a little. But Czech - big sigh, hang head... Nothing...
Woke up early to go on a tour of Terezin. On our way to meet the tour we miraculously happened upon the National Gallery that we had been searching for yesterday (not worth the search). We spent most of our day on an amazing tour of Terezin Ghetto through Wittman Tours. Our tour guide was a survivor...
Slow start to a rainy day. After a block in the rain, we turned back to the hotel to catch a taxi to the Prague National Museum. Two problems. One, the National Museum is closed on the first Tuesday of every month. And two, we didn't actually want to go to the National Museum, we wanted to go to the...
We arrived in Prague after midnight and got a late start to the day. First things first, I found a cafe that actually had soy milk. We walked through the old town square, walked through the cathedral, watched the astronomical clock strike one (I told you we got a late start), happened upon a...
Dear Diary, Last night I came from our 3600 km trip. It was amazing! I’ve visited 6 countries: Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia. My all-time dream was to visit Germany … and it came true! We went to Prague – cool city, after to Nürnberg, Germany, at my friend...
Shot in Prague few days ago.
Another Nokia N82 macro-pic.
Spent the weekend in Prague and back here in Ireland for about ten days now - and still don't feel like I have got back into a routine yet. The weekend was busy, as it always is, any time we head to the Czech Republic. Thursday landed late, Friday hotels problem - ah the idea of service in many...
