A farm visit 60km outside Prague

Image
This weekend the weatherforecast was nice and so we decided to go outside. On Saturday we had breakfast with Deborah, Dan and Elias at Bohemia Bagel and then we went to a near by playground and were chatting while the kids played. Well, there was a half marathon just beeing held but i decided i don´t do half things :-) Dinner was then at an indian restaurant and of course before dinner it was mandatory to have an afternoon nap of one hour. So now it was Sunday and we wanted to visit: http://www.bohemiae-rosa-farms.com/ around 60km outside Prage in the direction of Brno. The farm was bought in 2006 by Ingmar, a dutch guy and he was showing us around for an hour which was very interersting. Everything is organic and no chemicals used. The farm has been fully renovated and looks nice and as clean as a farm can :-) They also rent out nice rooms to stay overnight and this might be a nice thing to do in the summer. They also have a restaurant attached which used the own products. I had spicy...

WOW, another entry :-)

I haven´t posted anything for a looong time because i was just to lazy. To the left i am shooting a Winchester during last weekend. It was fun! The Prague "Eifel tower" is on the other side of the Moldau river. you can use your metro ticket to go up via cable car and then have a nice walk over to the castle. We did the tour when Roger and Melanie were here for a week. This picture and the next one are taken by Roger. The week was very relaxed and we liked it a lot. The benches are still empty but since the temperature is rising almost daily i am sure the parcs and benches will get filled soon! Well, this was in Bad Haering where we had a Ski-Weekend with around 15 people from our company. The weather was nice and the "chill-mood" was very strong. Since i do not ski at all it was pure relaxation and some partying :-) here the SKI-gang In another shoppingcenter her ein Prague they have Dinosaurs in real sizes and they are also moving and make sounds. Since Lani is a r...

The snow is gone

The snow melted away and water level were rising. This is Pruhonice park with the green overflooded and the lake still frozen. Pruhonice always looks a little bit like a farytale....

Not exactly the Caribbean

Image
We have been to the aquarium in Prague and it was a positive surprise. The fish tanks were clean and nicely arranged with wrecks, amphores etc and we had the chance to see the feeding at 12:00. Lani was excited with all the fish and she only missed the Octopus. So either they do not have one or we could not find him. Well marinelife is more fun when you see it snorkeling in tropical waters but for a moment this was like a short visit to our friend in the Caribbean!

A Nice way to finish 2010!

A nice way to close 2010. Lenny, 3070gr and 48cm tall, arrived yesterday at 13:03.

Meeting our virtual crew members

Image
Hi, those of you who followed us over the atlantic last year with our blog might remember that we had a "virtual" crew member. Helmut and Sylvia helped us to keep our blog updated and also always informed us what was going on with the rest of the cruisers. Since then we had kept a sporadic email exchange but now it was to meet them anyway! We had planned a Vienna visit for quite a while but now we managed to meet with Titiksha on Sunday evening and had dinner together. Then i had a business meeting on monday and then late afternoon on monday we met Sylvia and Helmut from the catamaran Onotoa. They took us to the Christmas market at the Rathaus and the view was impressing. We had some mulled wine and thn went for a dinner together. Lani also liked them a lot, especially after Helmut shared his sweet dish with her :-) It was a nice evening and we chatted a lot about cruising and boats. I am sure, we will meet them again. Thanks again to both of you ! The Prater in the early mor...

Mathias and Ute

Lani was very happy that Mathias and Ute came to visit her. It took them an amazing 9 loooooong hours due to the snow. But so we had the chance of nice walks in the snow and also some dinners and shopping and christmas market together. The Christmas market was full of people but manageable. Not like last weekend :-) I still like this view from our terrace. The colored light is coming from the neighbours by the way :-)
