Prague

Last week I visited my sister in Prague for couple of days. Prague is very cultural, with a lot of history, romantic and full of little streets and surprises. Best time to go in my opinion is late spring or Christmas. If you ever decide to visit Prague, let me know and I can give you a few tips for non touristy restaurants, galleries and places. No I'm not paid by a travel agency ( just proud to be Czech living in London)....

tuesday 20.7.10 - part 1

Just a few photos from last week at my parents. The weather was wonderful, we had a great time and worked hard. The kitchen and bathroom at our holiday home are almost finished, still need doors, lights, shelves...but I feel very happy what we have achieved. Thanks to my parents! and unreliable builders and even more annoying plumbers:) What do you think?

we came back

Hi there! sorry for not being around but we got back last Thursday (after paying extra ridiculous! money for our flights) and I haven't stopped since then. The catalogue keeps me really busy. Here are some snaps from our holidays at my parents last couple of weeks. Once more it was great...wedding, friends, great food and wine, time with my family and visit to zoo as well... how exciting for two year old! how have you been?
