Have an opportunity to attend conference in Ostrava, Czech Republic this week. So Dr Mike and I planned for a two-week trip in Central Europe. We planned to cover Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Cesky Krumlov and perhaps Auschwitz. We arrived in Prague two days ago, that was Saturday morning.

It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...
