We are taking a day trip to Kromeriz today. The Archbishop of Olomouc built a chateau there and we are going to tour it. Besides, Olomouc is not very big and we get to see another small Czech town this way. It is only about a 40 minute train ride including a short connection in […]

We sleep in past 0800 and Jiri has already left for work. We did say our goodbyes and thanks last night just in case this happened. We pack, get our plan for the day organized, and I figure out how much money we will need for our last two days in the Czech Republic. Debbie […]

Our plan for today is to explore the Jewish Quarter of Prague. We have another nice breakfast but do not run into anyone we know. We do see our new friend Vaclav working the front desk. We give him our card which will entitle him and guest to free room and board,,free tour, and free […]

One thing that was nice about our tour yesterday is that everyone is staying at this hotel. We have a nice breakfast talking with Avi and Judith from Israel.

We are going to make our way to Prague today. The locals call it Praha. Many places in Europe are pronounced and spelled differently than we say them. I am not sure why that is. But if you are looking for Prague on the train board, you will not find it. Another example is Venezia […]

We sleep in today which has become a rare thing. Carol makes a lovely egg sandwich and cappuccino breakfast. I help, of course, by eating and drinking said items. We leave the apartment around 1100 and do a self guided walk around Cesky Krumlov. We start at the Horni Bridge which makes me want to […]

NOTE: we have been having some problems with our server. I could not get on to post for a few days. Also, some have said that they are not able to leave comments and bring up larger pictures from the gallery. I think these problems still exist and we will try to fix them but […]
