#group travel – Self Employed Again

Oops

The problem with managing two blogs sometimes it causes a glitch. My apologies as I developed my final Prague post on my local trail blog. You can find it here: Special Prague moments, and what I learned.

Prague cobblestones

The cobblestones of Prague are artwork unto themselves. Some, a standard design. High heels not recommended. Art is under foot. Needless to say, all these cobblestones require maintenance. Beautiful, creative, and the added bonus is the stoccato traffic music. Please like, comment, subscribe, and let me know what you enjoyed about Prague. Check out myContinue reading “Prague cobblestones”

Prague. Walk along the Vltva River.

I love to wander. Whether in the woods of NH, USA, or the streets of Boston. One sees so much more ambling along. Walking down from the castle, (see blog post on Vysehrad castle), is a tricky descent. As an aging American, even hiking down from a mountain top requires focus. The long, steep trekContinue reading “Prague. Walk along the Vltva River.”

Vysehrad Castle – a MUST visit.

The artist from whom I purchased my two lovely watercolours recommended a trip to Vysehrad. So glad I listened. My travels have taught me to always get advice from locals.

We did not stop to see the Crown jewels as the line was long. We did get to see the changing of the guard. TheContinue reading “Prague Castle”

The building itself is a monument to Modern Architecture and was built in the 1920s. Until the 1950s trade fairs were held here, hence the name Trade Fair Palace. The building was then transformed into an administrativeContinue reading “Prague – Trade Fair Palace”

Prague, up the hill

Behind the hotel is the Kinsky Garden, providing this country girl with a break from roadways, trams and buildings. National Museum-Orthographic Sadly, the building was closed as I explored the area. The lawn in front is a haven for dog owners, complete with a pup pool. The dogs of Prague are very lucky. Dagmar saidContinue reading “Prague, up the hill”

Prague, Architecture

This is an “Art and Architecture ” tour, day 3 was devoted to the Architecture theme. But first. A word about breakfast. “The most important meal of the day”. The Petr hotel provided breakfast, and an afternoon snack. Upon arrival on the first day I had a chance to interact with a Chicago couple onContinue reading “Prague, Architecture”
