Our last and final day in Prague. We decided to take a tour to Kutna Hora which is about 70 miles from Prague. It is one of the oldest towns and used to be a huge silver mining town at one time with a population greater than Praguersquos. Now it is a small town of 20000. Probably the main reason that people...

Yesterday was a complete and utter right off. I was so tired after all the exercise of the day before and the drinking session that night that i was basically a complete and utter zombie.

Amber's Journal Today was another busy but beautiful day in Prague. We have only been here a short time but I love this city. I really hope we have the opportunity to come back here again.

Im gonna start a bit earlier than the day we went to Prague. On Thursday night some of my fellow students and I went to small little bar here in Vienna. We went to this bar for a certain reason.

Greetings everyone. I made it home ok but had my brief stop off in Prague. I managed to take many pictures however not all came out well.

I have been wanting to see the architecture of Prague for quite some time. As an American living in London I took advantage of three days off from work and headed to Prague. Easyjet landed me there safely and I found the public transportation to be very simple... after a bus train and tram I found myself at...  

Praha is a city full of interesting juxtapositions. Monolithic traditional buildings stand alongside contemporary postmodern structures. Old cobblestone roads turn into new tarmac superhighways or supertunnels. An interesting mix of ethnic minorities from Thais to Indians to Greeks share subway journeys with...

Anyhow Dietrich knew a lot...  

First of all OP. We did not get to go surfing and I am still a little bitter about it. But we did get to do some indoor climbing. I did enjoy climbing a lot because it was a great challenge but the fact that we werenrsquot surfing made it worse. At the climbing site there were all sorts of elements and...  

Dobry den again. I really like Prague I have to admit that this is the biggest shock of my trip so far. I really didn't know what to expect upon deciding to come here.

I know I'm horrible at updating these kind of things...I always have been. But there's really not too much going on in good ol' Konstanz.
