I've been back for a month and finally finished going through my thousands of pictures of Venice, Salzburg and Prague and have them posted up on my website: http://lynnsview.com/Gallery/
I'll add more later but here are the basics:
I flew to Venice and stayed at the same hotel I've stayed at before in Castello, I love this hotel because it's easy to find and it is in a real neighborhood, yet still just 10 minute walk at the most to San Marcos, Hotel Ca' Formenta http://www.hotelcaformenta.it I was there from Sunday, 9/6 through Thursday, 9/10
Then by train, I went to Salzburg, Austria...going through the Dolomites was amazing. I stayed at Alstadt Hotel Weisse Taube, great location near Mozart Platz, I would definitely return http://www.weissetaube.at I was there from Thursday, 9/10 to Monday, 9/14
Then another train ride took me to Prague. Wow, what a great city, I stayed at the Hotel Rezidence Lundborg, http://www.lundborg.se it's right next to the Charles Bridge. It's really more a small apartment with a separate bedroom, 2 burner stove, a computer with large monitor with internet access is provided in the room at no extra charge. Highly recommend it! I was there from Monday, 9/14 and return home on Saturday, 9/19
On my website with my pictures, I put comments on most pictures so it's almost a mini trip report in itself. But I'll come back and give some information on what I did and my impressions for anyone who might be considering going to these cities. I know that trip reports have helped me in the past.
Meanwhile, enjoy the pictures.

Your pictures are STUNNING!! You are a wonderful photographer! The photo journal is a great way to post and so interesting. Were you staying on the Kampa Island side of the Charles Bridge?? We stayed at the Hotel Kampa Garden for 6 days in 2007 and thought the location was perfect!
If I go back, I want to go with you! Also loved Venice and Salzburg!
Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful photography. Your pictures of Prague made me want to see it, but your pictures of Venice made me CRAVE to go back.
thank you very much everyone....now that I've been back for over a month and I look at the pictures, it sometimes feel like it was just a dream...thank goodness for pictures.
I truly recommend Prague and Venice, well.... I don't think I'll ever get enough, as I say in my pictures, it is the 'love of my life'
lyb,
I love your photos. You are an excellent photographer, great eye for composition. We were in Prague in 2003 & this past August. What camera do you use? Your evening photos came out better than my husband's photos. We never made it up to Petrin Hill - guess we'll have to go back. If you return, you must go to Vysehrad.
Thanks for the memories!
Kwoo,
I have a Fuji FinePix S100, I got it only about 3 weeks before I left on vacation, so I had a lot of learning. I did use a tripod for some of the night shots, but even without it, some of them came out pretty sharp.
Unfortunately, when I went to Petrin Hill, it was the one day that it was overcast and rained a bit, so the view from up above wasn't as good, but I'm still I went.
I didn't get to the Loreto which I wanted to go to, good reason to go back
Where is Vysehrad?
lyb, thank you for posting this! Your pictures are wonderful!
Thank you for the beautiful pictures.
Thanks, getting ready to go to work. I'm 67 and work so I can travel. the Sacher Torte really brought back fond memories of my trip with my sister. Thanks for the pictures.
Nice pictures, lyb! Can you help me out by identifying the palazzi featured in this one: Besides the fanfare on the Grand Canal... and in the one of Francesco da Mosto, which you said is by Rio San Toma - but could you be more precise?
Bert, I'll take a look at my notes and a map I have and see if I can find the name
Beautiful pics! And my husband thought I was the only one who photographed the manhole covers in Prague!
Lyb,
Your pictures are so great! I'm planning a solo trip to the czech republic and austria myself this winter and your pics just want to make me go even more. Can't wait for your trip report.
Jean,
The manhole covers were so good, how can we pass them up?
Traveler,
I found both Salzburg & Prague very easy as a single traveler.
I'll be filling in the details this weekend, but in the meantime, do keep on planning, they are definitely places to go!
