Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-?

ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

Czech Republic - Hitting the ground running!

There are [23] photos in this gallery.

Prague! The City of Spires. We will never tire of seeing this sight. Views[152] We set off to Prague from Stuttgart, armed with our survival kit from Mig & Dijana - and boy did we need it in the Ghetto! Views[171] Cocktails for Brett's birthday on the rooftop of Hotel U Prince, overlooking Prague's Old Town Square. If you come and visit us, we'll take you there. Views[158] Brett on the set of Mary Poppins. Chim Chimminey, Chim Chimminey... Views[179] The Ghetto - our home for 24 hours. Views[163]
 
Dining table - a.k.a. primary school table on pineapple tins. Classy. Views[152] See, we weren't lying. They're real pineapple tins. The previous tenant was obviously well prepared for Y2K. Views[180] Ahhh, errr, ever wondered what a pile of, errr, bodily hair looks like? Views[168] A Czech version of Bathroom. No description required. Views[152]
 
Brett looking quite at home. All he needs is a wifebeater singlet top to really look the part in The Ghetto. PS the plastic plants don't need watering - instead they survive on about 46 years of accumulated dust. Views[207] The bedroom suite. See description for Bathroom. Views[174] Camping out in The Ghetto. Views[152] Our carpet picnic. Views[183] Nightwatchwoman. Maria at home in the office of Mike's Apartments in Prague. Views[173]
 
The Church of Bones, Kutna Hora. Eerie but fascinating - but don't get caught napping. (Blog to come!) Views[244] A local patriarch's coat of bones, I mean arms, I mean skulls... Views[180] Our favourite cafe haunt in Prague. Located in a gorgeous ambient courtyard, with no passing parades of tourists or locals. Views[199] ... and the ambience is thick with free Wifi - allowing us to blog away to our heart's content. Views[166] Michaela from Kava Kava Kava - our other favourite cafe haunt. The most delightful waitress you'll ever come across. Consequently she's fast becoming one of our great friends in Prague. Views[161]
 
Brett's first start in an Aussie Rules footy game - playing for the French team in the Central European Australian Rules Football Championships in Prague. We attended as spectators but the French were short in numbers, so a kit was soon found for Brett - it didn't matter that the last time he'd run onto a footy field was about 9 years ago. He's considering a few contracts that are coming out of this recent appearance... Great to see this unique game spreading across the globe. Views[159] Making do with no tv - watching some cheesy euro dubbed dvd on our laptop. This is our third abode in 2 weeks and we now know how to make do with what's at hand. Views[161] Brett and Maria going underground at Staromestska metro station - loving it in Prague! Views[1121]
