Rodebud-
Enjoy your trip to Prague! By the time you arrive the weather should be beautiful.

Just posted the last day of Vienna if anyone is interested, plus photos.

Go for the apartment and go outside for the view! Do you really want to spend a lot of time in your room looking out the window instead of out walking around?

Hi everyone, I'm back!

In a jet lagged induced fog and back to work tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have the first part of Prague posted later (maybe when I'm wide awake at 2AM?).

It's good to be home.

Oops, does anyone know to correct typos once it is posted? I know, I know, I should have pressed Preview My Reply button. I am new to this forum and am learning how to navigate.

Unfortunately, once you post there really is not good way to edit it. I think some people have had luck using the "back" button, correcting errors and reposting, but I think that sometimes results in double posting as well.

If you have questions, ask away. I hope to get more journal entries posted tonight.

I managed to sleep about 12 hours yesterday, so no new posts last night, sorry!

Wow, I did't expect the jet lag coming home to be so harsh this time. I just haven't had any energy at night yet to write about Prague.

I did, however, add more Vienna photos yesterday.

More soon, I hope.

Kristina,

Enjoyed your blog very much! After much reading and talking with others I am now reconsidering my travel. Right now I only have one day in Budapest and 2 days in Krakow (including a trip to Auschwitz). I'm wondering if I should make Krakow/Auschwitz one day and Budapest for two days. Any comments on Budapest? Thank you!

Well, I liked Budapest. We spent 3 days there, so I can't imagine squeezing it all into 1 day.
I can't comment on whether or not it would be better than Krakow since I've never been to Krakow. Seems like a long way to go for just one day. Maybe better to save for another trip?

mypup,You may want to stick with your original plan for two days in Krakow. I'm not sure it's possible for you to do Krakow and Auschwitz in one day. Auschwitz alone will take most of the day when you consider travel time to and from the camps.

If you only have one day in Budapest, you may want to save it for another trip.

Great stuff Kristina. I was in Prague in 2005 and stayed in the Hotel Clementin! We really liked it...the rooms were on the smallish side, but very clean and well appointed. The location could not be beat, and the staff was very accomodating. Loved the adorable building as well.

Kristina,

I thought that blogs were amateurish bulloney. Yours is a professional site. I love your pictures of the food and compositions in general. You must be an artist.

This link from one of your pages is excellent.

Rachele-Yes, the Clementin did look cute-glad to hear you had a nice stay there. Great location too.

Hopscotch-Thank you so much for the nice comments-I really appreciate it.

I've posted more photos and journals today. Only one more day to go...

Kristina -- Terrific blog! I am sad there is only one more day to report. Did you tour inside Karlstejn Castle? Was it worth it?

Woody-
Yes, we did tour the castle. That's still to come on the blog.
I think it was worth it. If you want to see the inside, you have to go on a guided tour-they have them in English every half hour or so. It would be worth it to go in summer because there's half of the castle that's only open then. You need a special reservation for that part of the tour.
It was a nice, short day trip out of Prague.

Whew! Finally the report is done. It's all up and posted now.
Hopefully someday I'll get it posted on my "regular" website so it can be read in a more linear fashion.
