DAY ELEVENWe decided to take the freeway to Pernstejn Castle (where "A Knight's Tale" with Heath Ledger was filmed) to save some time. Again, it was lovely. We went on a tour in Czech and were given...

Quote:Last segment tomorrow. WHEW - you are probably all very glad.No, I'm hanging on to every word! Although I'm not sure about the pancakes stuffed with bears.

Bear-stuffed pancakes - that's a novel idea! It may even hurt. Obviously I should have said berries. Oops-a-daisy!

DAY FIFTEENWe had another great breakfast. It rained all morning (for the first time - I personally am enamoured with rain). We decided to go to yet another castle - Krivoklat. This one was easy peasy...

batraveler, your trip had many difficulties, and having extra trouble when coming home so late at night, was just the worst feeling, I'm sure.You have a remarkably calm attitude about everything, and...

Great report, ba! It sure makes me want to go to CR. The food sounds scrumptious, but awfully heavy. Could you have eaten lighter if you wanted to? Was there fish instead of meat, or any salads...

Cheech, I'll throw in my opinion. In traditional Czech cooking I think the whole idea was to fill you up at little expense, hence the soups, dumplings and other heavy food. I didn't even find that...

Elaine, I agree. Prague would not be a foodie destination alright. We were able to seek out some special places but looked hard and did advance research. We did have very good meals there, too. It is...

I'm not really a foodie. I like to eat well when I travel (actually, when I'm home as well ) but I don't travel to eat. However, I can't eat rich and heavy food all the time. It makes me ill. So I'm...

It IS wonderful, that's for sure. We found there to be several sides offered on menus as well. We had a delicious leek and potato gratin once (forgot that one in the trip report, I think) but that...

Really enjoyed your report batraveler. We spent a week in Prague a couple years ago, enroute to Cyprus for a couple months. We LOVED Prague and wished we could have spent the couple months in CR...

Glad you enjoyed the lengthy report. An adendum - we had read numerous times about the warnings about pickpockets in Prague. We are always very careful when we travel but at no time did we feel in...

Same here, batraveler. By contrast, while I was in Paris, I personally witnessed two pickpocket incidents.
View ArticleRe: Czech Out This Trip Report
Really? Wow. We saw a few things happen in Rome, too. I read that Prague is even worse than Rome for pick pockets!

HII just realized that you didn't mention anything about the Charles Bridge undergoing renovation. Was it?
View ArticleRe: Czech Out This Trip Report
How could I have left out that important detail? The only thing that was being done on Charles Bridge when we were there was one of the statues was under scaffolding. We were told by people there...
