From the Old Town you are lead out across Charles Bridge and up to the stunning Prague Castle that is a sight to see during the day let along at night from the bridge. Oh and let’s not forget they know how […]

The London Transport Blues
Living in London I’ve had to come to terms with catching public transport to get around, not so bad I hear you say they have those cool double-decker buses.
