I can imagine a very satisfactory evening could be spent there. I had some nice beers on one of the sightseeing boats on the Vltava . .

Well truth be told, I had some nice beers everywhere there.

The old clock is in business again as of today. The first recorded mention of the clock was on 9 October 1410.

Kev,

I will be spending 18 hours in Dublin on the way back.

The difference in the price of the air ticket was $700 - and for that kind of money I will be happily waiting in Dublin

Are the Batchelors from Prague still alive and kickin'?
I liked their style.

MikeSimon · « **Reply #16 on:** October 01, 2018, 07:35:06 AM »

I remember visiting Praque from Germany, when the "Iron Curtain" was still in place. Changed money on the black market (on the Karls Bridge), for a rate of 1:12 (official rate was 1:4) had a great time eating caviar and drinking champagne, which we could not have afforded otherwise.

Not yet, Kev. But this is a funny movie too:

Good Bye, Lenin.

Mick: I was not aware of Batchelors, but seems like they are doing ok:

They built this in eighties. The rumor was the main purpose was to block Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.

The name for on the street was Jakes's Prick - Jakes was the general secretary of communistic party at the time.

Good King Venceslav has a square in Prague, hmm, maybe it was a different king, but this is the very center of Prague. Statue of Vencleslav.

And I promise I will shut up about politics and communists from now on.

70CB750 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 02, 2018, 06:07:06 AM »

OK, last one. Russians in 1968

For romantic dates, Prague is one of the best, trust me
