Our trip to the Czech Republic was brought on by a United Airlines magazine article about bicycle beer tours you could do in / around Prague. Although we didn't end up doing the bike tour, the prospect of great beer at bargain prices was too good to pass up. Prague was incredible and very relaxing. Our hotel (Hotel Pav) was fairly cheap and felt like a Westin. We were close to the river so we could walk around all the bridges and islands, etc. We also managed to see two great blues acts, an outdoor movie, and of course the huge Prague Castle. We consumed many Budvar's, which has now become our favorite pivo (beer, to the layperson).
After Prague we took a road trip in a Smart car to a little town called Ceske Krumlov. If you don't know what a Smart car is, chop a Civic in half and you pretty much have it. Ceske Krumlov is a great (and touristy) small town on the River Volga that looks the same way it probably did hundreds of years ago. We took some road trips through the country and also went on a 6 hour canoe ride, which was really relaxing despite our one-sided races with other canoers. Unfortunately we lost the disposable camera we were using so no pictures - maybe next time!
