This is where you can keep track of where and what I am up to during the next couple of months while I'm away.

Trip to Praha (Prague)
Another travel day, we both never seem to sleep well before we change house! Woke before alarm and finished packing. Was sad to leave as it was a wonderful place to stay and the staff were very helpful. Headed underground and that was where the fun began! Ended up going above ground and getting a taxi to cut a long story short! But we caught the right train this time and all was good. There was a lovely German man sitting across from me and I asked him all about the trouble people were having on the train and he said it is a bad line as they have made no improvements to it since it belonged to the communist. He was saying that he was in the west and his wife was in the east when the wall happened and that they used to meet in Prague. He said that it was history to us but he still lives it. Was very interesting seeing the destruction from that time and how so many places are just wrecks including train stations still to this day. We don't realise how lucky we are! Just before we hit the border the armed police wander through the carriages checking things and we start to follow the Elbe River which had all these lovely little towns along it banks. Tried to get some photos but the train had dirty windows, so can't really show you what it was like. We followed that all the way to Prague. We were suppose to get off at the first stop but we stayed on to get closer in. I have no idea why the booked us to get off at the outskirts of Prague. Not much trouble finding our way to home. Then we went out for a wine and something to eat and now getting all set for bed. Prague looks a beautiful city looking forward to exploring it tomorrow.
