Czech Republic
In Prague the streets are full of people. Nobody wears shorts. Everyone mostly in jeans or long black pants.
I'm in love with Cesky Krumlov! So pristine, charming, amazing. People are nicer here than Prague. It's the most fairytale town I have ever seen. Rothenburg was kind of a Gipetto town. Delft was a little Dutch girl's doll house town but this is a Cinderella fairytale town!
Went to Dubrovnic Croatia ...a noisy town with millions of cars and motorcycles. They love to honk. They should name this "The City of Stairs". It's built on a hill next to the Adriatic sea and it's all stone. Little stairs wind all along the steets going up up up. Where we stayed was 327 steps up plus a steep walk way. They put the word "ski" at the end of words. We laughed at a movie poster that said "Hollywoodski". We saw a cultural folk dance show. I love those kinds of things! I could have sat through the whole thing a second time. We bought their cd. We walked around the walls of Old Town up high above the town.

We next went to Brela. So clean, quiet and peaceful. We should have gotten off the bus at the first stop near the restaurant and taken the first set of stairs down the hill. We didn't know and took the 2nd stop then had a very long long walk in very hot heat. It is just so peaceful I think because it is far from the road so you don't get any traffic noise. Not even radios playing loud music. Boats trawl around on idle. Water is very clean and clear. We took out a 2 man kayak out to a small cave and went swimming.
Called home to chat with the kids and see how they are doing. Andrea tried to get Nimbus to meow for me in the phone but he only purred ha ha.
Our last stop was Gorlitz Germany. Such a very beautiful city on the Polish & Czech borders. The architecture is so ornate and beautiful tile work. It's not visited by many tourists, especially Americans. We walked across the bridge into Poland! (Town of Zgorzelec) As we were passing by a couple boys, (looked about age 19 or 20) one of them raised his arm to us in a Hitler salute and said "Hail" He must have thought we were German tourists.
Lastly from Split we flew out to Zagreb early in the morning then on to Progue and then a train to Dresden where we flew home from.
