Tranquil Tuesday
#VisitCZ @VisitCZ
Today’s photo may look tranquil, but in reality the moment wasn’t. Thunder was cracking and lightning was soon about to begin. A downpour ensued on one of the most interesting evenings I’ve ever encountered.

Kutná Hora
Palackého Square’s historic town center well in Kutna Hora (Czech Republic)
Kutná Hora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a great day trip from Prague.
Breakfast in Prague
One of the (many) things I love about Prague is the food. Not only is it inexpensive (I never paid more than $10), but it’s delicious. I didn’t have a lousy, or even mediocre, meal the entire time I was there. Today’s photo is from Café Savoy, a 100+ year old restaurant with a classy decor and excellent food.
Tip if you are visiting Prague… as you get farther from Old Town Square the prices decrease and the quality increases. Some other favorite locations to eat in Prague include:
Pizzeria Kmotra
Papi Oliver
Gourmet Pauza
Pivovar Národní
Naplavka
@VisitCZ #náplavka
You aren’t likely to find this part of Prague in any guide books, yet it was one of my favorites. The guy who lent me his place on Airbnb told me about it as a great place for night life. He wasn’t kidding. There were no other tourists that I could see along my Naplavka walk, a stark difference from the thousands milling around the Charles Bridge and Old Town.
What other places do you know in Prague that are really cool and virtually free of foreign tourists?
Church of Saint Ludmila
I’m looking forward to heading back to Prague this summer.
Iceland is also on my itinerary. Anyone have experience in Iceland? I have two short trips there on my way in and out of Europe. I figure I’ll hang out in Reykjavik on my way in and get away from Reykjavik via a rental car on my way out (two nights). I won’t have time to go all the way around which takes a week or more. So which way should I head–north or south? Any must sees?
