Eugenetheduck's VirtualTourist Home Page

T'was a lovely autumn day today so my husband gave our daughter her first surfing lesson...and she stood up. It's a great time to learn, the water is still warm enough if you have a springsuit; the sun is shinning; the temperature is about 20 deg; and the waves are small.

A few people have emailed me, asking me my feelings regarding living in Prague for 2 years. It was a fabulous experience. If I could turn back time, I would do it again, most certainly. Could I live there permanently, no; would I visit again, yes. The things I liked the most: the architecture (fav was St Peters and St Pauls at Vysehrad, and Mucha's window in St Vitus); the public transport system and the ease & cheapness of travelling around the whole of CZ; my nightclubbing friends and pub nights at the Konvict(travelling home by myself at any time of the night, Prague doesn't sleep, only the metro at 12ish); Canoeing down the Vltava at Cesky Krumlov; Paddling on the Vltava in summer; National theatre ballets; Dehab restaurant; travelling around Europe; the historic festivals and celebrations around christmas; cheap skiing and snow; and mushroom hunting; I loved the language; and most of all ... the friends I made.
What I didn't like: having to visit the foreign police for visa renewal every 6 months, Czech health insurance checks; choices and expense of schooling (from AUS$23,000/yr); my appartment had no lift and we were on the 5th floor; apart from svichcova cuts, terrible beef; lack of herbs and spices and other ingredients that I'm use too, like self raising flour and caster sugar (although there were more herbs & spices available every time I went shopping); Czech check outs; not knowing enough Czech.

Little daughter of Eugenethetheduck must have been good this year...only one potato!

These are not my friends from Colorado ... just some friendly Czech guys that let me take a photo....

Up there as one of my favourite restaurants in Prague is Dahab on Rybna. It is best to book as it is always busy. I just had to get a picture of their latest hubble-bubble...very psychedelic.

My friends and I have been going dancing a lot lately til the wee-hours, making the most of city life before returning to my beach home in Oz.

Unfortunately I didn't find one this big! But I did fill a basket with smaller ones. I was very impressed.

In the last 12 days I've had 2 lots of Australian visitors and an afternoon with a Vt'er today..life is never boring! And I never get tired of walking around Prague.

Been land locked for long enough. I'm off, back to Oz in December and my home by the sea.

Had a great Northern summer travelling around the Czech Republic, Greece and Italy for 2 months ...... but the Southern summer is calling, and I can't wait to see family and friends again.

This photo is my friend(Aussie living in UK) and I in the Dolomites.
