Karlstejn Castle...

Today I visited Karlstejn Castle, yet another of the Czech Republic's ridiculously photogenic buildings.
Unfortunately you couldn't take any photos inside.


But the countryside was quite pretty too - lots of autumn reds and yellows.


Later on I went for a wander and found the "Dancing Building", supposedly modelled on Fred Astaire and that Ginger chick. Pretty random.

I managed to find a bookshop today, so I picked up a couple of books - tomorrow's either a lazy day, or I might wander around and find out what cubist architecture looks like.

Prague shops and restaurants seem to have a thing for dodgy 90s pop music - seriously, when was the last time you heard Chocolate Starfish or Joshua Kadison in Australia? I'm quite enjoying it :)

Word on the street is that it's going to snow tomorrow.

Hi V

I'm quite amused by the contrast, you have the pretty castle and then the bone art with dead people biting their legs- bit bizarre imho.
Glad that you sound less stressed and are "looking after yourself" a la McCain's Healthy Choice presumably LOL Take care Mum x

Was the Dancing Building designed by Frank Gehry? It looks like his style.
