It's True What They Say About Prague

This city is stunning! The multi-color buildings are decorated with interesting classical designs, lavish gold trim, and unique statues. The fine details could keep you busy looking for hours. Even the smog leaves a romantic mist on the city's gothic spires and medieval rooftops.

We arrived in Prague on Monday and enjoyed the breathtaking archiecture for the last 3 days. After carrying our overweight backpacks through many tiny streets and alleys, Marc let me rest a while in a beautiful square while he went off and found us a place to sleep. Our Lonely Planet guide from 1997 wasn't much help for accommodations in 2004.

On Tuesday, after touring the castle walls and cathedral, we settled down for some lunch at a cafe called Mount Steak. On offer were crocodile, cobra, zebra, ostrich, kangaroo... We just had the daily special (fried cheese for Heidi and steak and rice for Marc) by candlight in this cozy converted cellar.

After our fill of sightseeing we went to see the Bridgit Jones movie and had pizza for dinner.

Today we have arrived by train (and bus) in Cesky Krumlov.
