Checking out the Czech Republic

I am not going to drown this posting in the potholes that surrounded Jo and my trip to Czech. Instead I have decided to post some lovely pictures of our good times spent in Prague and Cesky Krumlov.

Prague and Cesky are beautifully preserved medieval places with towers castles and many spiers and bridges. The architectures is so detailed and glorious and I loved how the streets (especially in Cesky) just wind in cobbled mazes.

Some sights we saw in Prague were the Charles Bridge, Prague Castle complex, Old Town, New Town and a charming tea room not far from our pristine hostel (seriously, if you go to Prague stay at Miss Sophies!)

In Cesky we went up to the castle complex and gardens, lazed in another tea room and then just strolled around the town, absorbing this quaint and charming little town surrounded by a meanding river moat.

So despite all our hiccups and drama, we did still have a good time and we plan on visiting Hungary next year esp Ozora festival that we had to miss out on :( boo hoo

But such is life and I thought I would include a few travel quotes that have rung true on this little journey of ours:

* "Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey. " - Babs Hoffman

* "The rewards of the journey far outweigh the risk of leaving the harbor." - Unknown

* "For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints." -Robert Louis Stevenson

* "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." -Yogi Berra

* "Tourists don't know where they've been, travellers don't know where they're going." -Paul Theroux

So ahoy I shout from my travelling ship, its off I go again, back home to Africa on Saturday for a few weeks before I begin the student life - horray!

Love, Light and Safe Travels
