Visits to Prague and England

At the end of this month I will be visiting Prague in the Czech republic. I am very excited at the thought of visiting this wonderful city. I have wanted to visit Prague for many years, since I first discovered fabulous pictures of the magnificent buildings on the internet. I will be travelling with my husband, who is a professional digital photographer. With his images and my words we hope to capture some of the bohemian atmosphere of this marvellous place. We will visit the restaurants, from the five star splendours to the little backstreet local shops. We will explore the Jewish quarter, and I will try to capture the story the locals tell of the Golem. We will sit with the local characters sipping coffee in Wencelas square and soak in the atmosphere as the people walk past. We will try to capture the essence of Prague so we can share it with you. From Prague we move on to travelling around England. We will visit the North of England first, then slowly make our way South to catch our flight from London back to Athens. We are travelling in the winter months of course, so have to fly back to our home in Corfu via Athens. There are no direct flights in the winter months. We will stay with family and friends sometimes, and at other times in a caravan, in a bed and breakfast, and in a hotel. We will travel by plane, bus, train, car and no doubt, on our own tired feet. No doubt our experiences will be funny, sad, chaotic and unusual if past experiences are anything to go by! Watch this space!
