Thanks for reading my Victoria review. I love where I live. Can you write more on one City?

I'll be in Praha in October, there fore i'll read your report first.

A few hints that are not necessarily in guides (i've been several time to Prague) are:

- visit the jewish cemetery (unique atmosphere depndentless of your spiritual belonging)

- inform yourself regarding St Vincent opening hours... especially if you paln to take the stairs... can be quite frustruating

- Prague is not the best place for a diet... restaurants often offer a very good price for value!

- take one of the old tramway lines if they are still in use... it's more fun than Disneyland (but bring a helmet :-)

- pickpockets are numerous and quite skilled

- try the local beers (up to 8-11%!!!) but eat something before... also a few dry white wine are correct if drunk at the right temperature!

...it just doesn't show on the top. Now I have 3 journals and some pictures.

I'm a slow poke.

Under 'friends' is that people you invite? Because if it is you invited me.

Hi Marianne,

I just want to let you know that I read your excellent report about Tallinn, and I enjoyed it very much. You really managed to give a lot of useful information, and you also mentioned one of my favorite spots in Tallinn, Kadriorg park.

Thanks,
Malin

Hello Marianne
Thank you for your comments. Yes we planted a budleja bush in our garden four years ago and this year there was a major influx of small tortoiseshell, red admiral, painted lady and peacock.

They are very difficult to approach and indeed David will see my open-winged painted lady as poaching! It was photographed on the pavement on Bath Road beside Heathrow Airport!
There was however the other buttterfly bush( of which i am ignorant of the name but it has small spherical orange flowers) growing nearby.

Once again Altamount has a plethora of butterflies in summer and it was there we purchased the budleja plant.

Thanks for the entry in my guestbook! Yes, i plan to start with a few cities like Bruxelles & Prague and i'm always pleased to answer questions on Vienna. Do not worry, after spending my life abroad in 5 different countries (incl. USA), english became my favourite language

...it just doesn't show it. I used your "upload" to get to post it.
