The long walk

25 07 2008

I walked the entire glorious route from Hag’s Head to Doolin (via the Cliffs of Moher) a few weekends ago. While not for the vertiginious, the route was not closed then.





Try Olomouc

17 07 2008

The city of Olomouc in Moravia has a population of 100,000 people and is an important historical centre for arhitecture, including an atronomical clock from the 15th century, which definitely makes it worth a visit.





Local concerts

14 07 2008

While in Prague, do not hesitate to check out the concerts held in cathedrals like St Nicolas and St Vitus at the Prague castle. You will be treated to something very special. We saw a concert in St Vitus that blew the doors off a Stones concert. It really did! With the acoustics resonating off the cupolas inside the church and the sound of that huge organ and the female sopranist’s voice, everyone in the room was crying with emotion. It cost about CDN$16 each.

Even better than Carlsbad is a city no one seems to know about. It is called Marianske Lazne, about 45 minutes south of Carlsbad. It is more beautiful than Carlsbad and has half of the tourists.
