A weekend at home

At home in Prague this weekend!
There aren't that many weekends we get to enjoy life in Prague for a weekend, despite us being here for 4 years... so here is how it is shaping up!
Friday night was spent out with Maureen for burgers and a few beers. it was no raucus night though as Maureen had a heavy cold and we were pretty tired after a busy week.
Saturday - we're heading to Cafe Savoy for a good breakfast; I think I'll be going for the ham & eggs with toast and the customary 3 drinks - fresh orange, capu, and voda neperliva.
we're off to buy AJ a present after that for his 2nd birthday as well as look at sleeping bags & mosquito nets for the big trip (which is shaping up even more now with our trip to Cairo booked).
It's a haircut for me at James Hair at 1pm followed by AJ's 2nd birthday party... his major present this year is a gold fish.
I'm going to try to catch the 2nd half of the Celtic-Hibs game at about 5pm if I can too.
Plans for tonight are vague but should see us out for dinner & a few drinks.
Tomorrow looks like a lazy Sunday - maybe a nice lunch and who knows...

Venice

Venice is a wonderful city!
Tennille and I visited Venice for Tennille's birthday this weekend and had an absolutely fantastic time. We lost ourselves many times wandering around the city, had an enjoyable gondola tour and much good red wine & food.
Our apartment - Corte 1321 - was ideal, located on the other side of the Grand Canal from San Marco, allowing us to explore the city on all fronts.
We both enjoyed ourselves greatly... and look forward to our next trip back...
We also took one night on Lake Garda in the lovely Simeone before driving over to Venice.
Simeone is a wonderful island city on the lake and is beautifully picturesque - well worth a visit.
Molto Bene!!!

Oktoberfest

Well the last two weekshave flown by at breakneck speed.
We had Candy & Chris along with Rob & Anna join us in Prague for the weekend, which was great fun, with pork knees galore & Lee's birthday thrown in!
Anna & Ron stayed with us for the week before we drove down to Oktoberfest in Munich for the weekend.
It was a great weekend, with many beers, and lots of swinging around the fairground rides. The photos are all on facebook. Sunday was spent sipping a few more beers and eating their gorgeous half-chicken's before driving back to Prague.
Well done to Anna again for a great find in the hotel!
We're in Edinburgh this weekend for Helicopter rides, Mary Poppins & a weekend with Nicole! it's all up in the air!!!
