Not a trip report, but a report of our trip tiphat
« on: May 23, 2012, 01:07:19 PM »
My wife and I are now traveling our way across Central Europe and will be in Russia next week. Now, we are in Prague. I will post some photos...

The first photo, a bottle of wonderful Czech beer, orange flavoured...

Tourists galore, countless stores selling to the hordes, but there are some original works of art. Personally, I like the crystal (of course) and these puppets.

A warning from the local police as to how not to be scammed: it seems that changing cash on the streets of Prague leads to tourists being scammed of course  :evilgrin0002:

Found a nice market and was tempted to buy some fruit. My darling wife said nyet as she thought the prices were way too inflated. But the color and symmetry made for a nice photo  :hidechair:

My internet connection was a bit fuzzy this past month in rural Russia. But, here are some photos from the last month, starting with an interesting little open air art park in Moscow "Muzeon."

I will post more photos from Russia and a few from Egypt. Spent 11 days with my wife at a resort that caters to Russian-speakers. An interesting experience to say the least. Now, heading off to Estonia...

A bit ironic Misha, my wife and I were at some friends house for the 4th of July. AW/Czech man. They had that same witch puppet and had recently brought it from Prague.

This is the first time I had seen one of these: a one vehicle ferry to cross a river in the Russian North. No motor involved, just a pole to push and the river's current.

Beautiful flowers, in Russia's "Red Book" and usually they come in a pair. Very small and delicate flowers, between one and two centimeters long.
