Some stuff we did that hasn't made it into the blog...just playing catch up quicklyWent to the old Jewish quarter and saw Europe's oldest synagogue the Old New Synagogue and then the old cemetery. There are thousands of people burried here apparently one on another...it's so old. Went through Pinkas...  

In Saxony there is a massive 2 week school break so a few of the English assistants in and around Dresden decided to head off for a week in Prague followed by a few days in Berlin. We stayed in an awesome apartment right next to the Tyn Church in the centre of Prague which was very luxurious and cheap...  

Thousands of people will set out for an annual track from Prague to Prcice tomorrow to enjoy the walk and the beauties of the Czech countryside. This track is the oldest and most most famous track in the Czech Republic. It was held for the first time on 17th April 1966 when a group of people decided to master the distance of 100,000 ells. Now this traditional action is attended by more and more people.
