From its mythological inception to the present, benefactors have placed Prague in high regard. This is truly the city of 1,000 spires. The architecture is a dream comes through for any lover of the Gothic time period. We were fortunate enough to spend an entire week in this city and even got to see it snow! We booked a room in one of the <A HREF="http://www.prague-hotels.org.uk/" REL="nofollow">Prague hotels</A> right in the center of the Old Town - wanting to be close to everything. The Charles Bridge was magical but make sure you get their VERY early. 10,000 other people and 100 street vendors DOES NOT make for a romantic stroll.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625242814447234079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-57679118788800600582007-09-14T14:21:00.000+02:002007-09-14T14:21:00.000+02:00By now, and not remember how my head was born the ...By now, and not remember how my head was born the idea of the visit in <BR/><BR/>Bohemia. But in April this year she finally emerged and led to <BR/><BR/>cool 10-day adventure! ! ! <BR/><BR/>Hard and close to train Czech villages selected for the Czech guide - <BR/><BR/>Prague yearly at dawn, and it was unspeakable feeling when <BR/><BR/>we, vysypavshimi of its compartments in Tamboor, suddenly stay city, yet <BR/><BR/>awoke, but friendly Winking fireflies light <BR/><BR/>in the windows and apparently forthcoming found us! ! ! <BR/><BR/>Before the hotel brought us the penultimate. :) But was an excellent opportunity during the <BR/><BR/>moving a little rhythm Prague embrace life. At first glance, the city <BR/><BR/>as the city. Here, people go to work, here's someone cleaned pavement, with a child <BR/><BR/>school food stands behind him crossings, slowly <BR/><BR/>open shops ... Normal morning, in general. But when our bus from <BR/><BR/>cross narrow streets of old road, we first saw a tape <BR/><BR/>The Vltava, many across the bridge, yet graceful spires <BR/><BR/>strangers cathedrals, red tile roofs and many, many charming <BR/><BR/>against the backdrop of delicately shaped blue sky and just started moving from amazing! <BR/><BR/>Glare beauty! ! ! <BR/><BR/>Passing make advertising FLORENC hotels, which we very happily settled <BR/><BR/>street Krzhizhkova. First, it is only 50 meters from the entrance to the subway. ! ! <BR/><BR/>We, as human beings, who spend half a day in traffic crossings, it <BR/><BR/>thought luxury. The hotel itself is very pleasant, small and cozy. What <BR/><BR/>man tired of firecracker new adventure, a sense of information and legs <BR/><BR/>a not feeling of walks? Correct! A soft pillow and light as light as a feather <BR/><BR/>blanket! :) Hotel Florenc, it just all right. But over lunch <BR/><BR/>modest. And this fact had to be philosophical explanation: here we go <BR/><BR/>for spectacle, but not for bread! <BR/><BR/>The first day after some inconsistencies in the program and sends <BR/><BR/>host was absolutely free. And starting with a perfect 2 - <BR/><BR/>time to walk on the Vltava river tram and the first sip of this (!) <BR/><BR/>Czech beer. :) The city liked me at first glance. In his charming <BR/><BR/>city going fun, enjoying, love and an unbearable lightness of being:). <BR/><BR/>I want to smile, laugh, believe all very bright and think to themselves: "That <BR/><BR/>it happiness! "Prague every plethora of mysterious legends and stories <BR/><BR/>then we will learn throughout the trip. Just urban tale! And <BR/><BR/>still, it was difficult away from the feeling that I know everything here, as their five fingers, <BR/><BR/>just remember the names of streets, and people around somehow speak fee <BR/><BR/>language;) <BR/><BR/>So pretend to be local residents, we could not. <BR/><BR/>First, the Czech girl seemed to me Azira. They are boldly <BR/><BR/>fifth, combine uncountable are some unspeakable things, but it looks like <BR/><BR/>very stylish and original! And by the way, quite a few shops with interesting <BR/><BR/>things. <BR/><BR/>Second, Czechs of all ages, people without complexes. We walked, walked, walked around <BR/><BR/>all Prague, I thought, and at a great found large fleet. And such a-a-s ... so <BR/><BR/>called, businessmen and busyness women climbed to their feet at the shop, removing close <BR/><BR/>shoes and relax because, without the slightest attention to the others! Or <BR/><BR/>yet ... people studded age does embrace ... Love, I know, do not know <BR/><BR/>borders! :) <BR/><BR/>Thirdly, smoking rooms, which at every turn as signboards Pilsner walk while not <BR/><BR/>made to order full meals from 3 x dishes. SL is a saint. There <BR/><BR/>after coming to a beloved beer mug to discuss with friends last <BR/><BR/>news and play dominoes. No soups, salads and huge portions <BR/><BR/>bramboraks "potato" with <BR/><BR/>stewed cabbage, which, perhaps because of healthy men ... <BR/><BR/>Fourthly, the Czechs are not a good knowledge of English. <BR/>Fifthly, the Czechs, we have found hospitality and generous soul. They <BR/>very nice people, but rather neutral in communion, polite, but cautious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-51214548457505835802007-03-13T14:37:00.000+01:002007-03-13T14:37:00.000+01:00Francesca, wow, swerte nyo naman dyan. aba, yayain...<B>Francesca</B>, wow, swerte nyo naman dyan. aba, yayain na buong pamilya for a weekend getaway no.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-46563033464956514662007-03-12T23:47:00.000+01:002007-03-12T23:47:00.000+01:00uy, talaga? tatlo? goodie! teka, apat pala, kasi s...uy, talaga? tatlo? goodie!<BR/><BR/> teka, apat pala, kasi sa Monaco, may formula 1 Car race, grand prix sa May 24-27, 2007<BR/>eh declared holiday yun ni Bestfriend nating si Prince Albert!Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991611152447546569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-24096697832790523322007-03-12T09:45:00.000+01:002007-03-12T09:45:00.000+01:00Francesca, 3 ang long weekends sa May: labor day, ...<B>Francesca</B>, 3 ang long weekends sa May: labor day, may 8 and ascension. good time to spend a weekend somewhere di ba.. <BR/><BR/>hirap yatang mag spa with louna in tow hehe.. manggugulo lang yun.<BR/><BR/><B>Christianne</B>, that's long enough.
