Advantages: The other side of Europe: interesting, surprising, varying walks Disadvantages: Cycle tracks and hotel towels!
...go walking. Stumbling across Czech Trails was an accident, the concepts of promotion and competition and business have yet to take hold in the former communist countries ~ something we were to discover throughout the trip.
Never have I visited a country with the degree of ignorance that I took into Czech. Events on the homefront had hindered usual levels of research. I knew where the country was; the ‘schoolboy’ bits of its history: ... ...haven’t specifically checked this with Czech Trails (our hosts) but the general feeling from travelling with them is that the company is infinitely flexible.

...the Southwest Regions, with my Czech girlfirend. Sightseeing is great. We saw a whole variety of sights which I will go through, believe me, if you have not been, I would recommend it to anyone.

Advantages: Cheap prices, friendlines, easy to get around Disadvantages: Not many people speak english, communication is easier in german
...enjoy the views of the czech countryside (summer or winter) during the way. It's possible to get off in Plzen/Pilsen and take a tour to the well-known breweries of Pilsner Urqull or Gambrinus (including tasting sessions, museums and memorabilia shopping). There is very many historical buildings to see too and the city is beautifully colorful now. The town of Klatovy is situated in the south-west from Pilsen and is only about 20km from the south borders ... ...speak any english. It is often easier to communicate with school kids or students who learn english at schools.
And don't forget to try some of czech dumplings - knedliky!!!! Yummy, my favourite ever meal!!!
Hope you enjoy as much as we did this year!!
