To Market to Market Europe » Czech Republic » Prague
Akira and I went to the markets today. It wasn't bad apart from the 100s of stalls with the same identical ugly clothes in them. We found a great antique shop, shoe shop and we finally tasted Charis' so-called fried camembert burger which is actually called Smazenı sır. It was very nice but it would have been better with no mayo. [View Full Entry]

Angels of Ikea Europe » Czech Republic » Prague
We went to Ikea today to check out what cool things they have that we don't and to try out their food. It is set out in exactly the same way so we felt right at home. Much easier to get there than it is to get to ours. :( We also went to a massive second hand clothes shop. Very cheap and mostly crap but what a stunning building. I wish I could ship it to Australia so it could be appreciated like it should be instead of being treated like a warehouse. [View Full Entry]

Up the hill Europe » Czech Republic » Prague
We finally have done all the touristy things that we need to or want to do while we're in Prague. Today we went on the funicular to Petrin Hill and saw some more beautiful views of the city. We went to a really gorgeous little asian/Vietnamese restaurant for lunch but the food wasn't as nice as we're used to. St Vitus' Church in the castle grounds was really lovely, the highlight of the day would have been the Mucha stained glass window. [View Full Entry]

Lazy day Europe » Czech Republic » Prague
Didn't do a lot today. Went out to look at cheap ski gear, if there is such a thing. It's supposed to snow today, I wish it would. [View Full Entry]

Glad to be home Europe » Czech Republic » Prague
We had a pretty good today. Akira got his computer back, the airport arrived from home and we found an excellent and reasonably cheap second hand shop. [View Full Entry]

Home to Praha Europe » Czech Republic » Prague
We went to the Old Museum and saw a lot of lovely ancient Greek urns and statues. Well worth the entry fee. After that we hung around and ate cheese and bread until we met Martin to come home. By 9pm we were happy to find our warm apartment exactly as we had left it. [View Full Entry]

Today we did a lot of walking around what was East Berlin and found some great souvenirs. It is interesting to see Berlin from Iris' point of view. She is an East Berlin native who grew up with the wall and doesn't necessarily find the west to be better. I don't know much German but I did find it nice to actually recognise words and be able to say thank you etc with confidence. We're a long way from that point with Czech. [View Full Entry]

Praha to Berlin Europe » Germany » District of Berlin » Berlin
We left Praha at midday with Martin, through 'Town to Town'. Even though he had a lot shabbier car than we expected, we were crammed in and he had a blow out, it was much more interesting and cheaper than a bus or train. Iris met us at Berlin Alexanderplatz which was interesting considering that was the only place in Berlin I knew by name, from the Fassbinder TV series. We crammed into her small flat in Neukölln which, an interesting area with lots of good Turkish food, which of course we sampled. [View Full Entry]

Plzen Europe » Czech Republic » Plzen Region » Plzen
All went well getting to and fro from Plzen. I walked for hours down the river, climbed the cathedral tower, ate pork, dumplings and cabbage and looked at some very dull second hand shops. It's not a bad place but I wouldn't want to spend more than a day there. Milada, the Czech girl who showed me around likes it much more than Prague but i can't think why. [View Full Entry]

Decisions Europe » Czech Republic » Prague
We're going to Berlin on the weekend so my quest today was organising transportation. I found a car-sharing agency which turns out to be a lot cheaper than bus or train and hopefully a whole lot more interesting. I requested a trip online and the agency called me 1/2 hour later with a lift going and returning at exactly the times we wanted. A and J have decided not to go to Plzen with me tomorrow which actually suits me because it will be better by myself than going with them if they haven't got their hearts in it. J was [View Full Entry]
