St. Patrick’s day parade in Cork 2012
The weather was remarkably good this morning. The sun was shining, loads of people went out on the streets dressed in green, there were children eveywhere waving Irish flags, farmer’s market was up and running on Grand parade. I just love St.Patrick’s day! [...]-
Evening view over Paris from the Eiffel Tower
The timing was pretty extreme, we decided to climb the Eiffel tower the same day we arrived to Paris, and of course we didn’t buy the tickets in advance, so we almost missed a very beautiful sunset. But we made it! [...] -
Halloween in Cork: street fashion
Last night I took my camera for a walk to take pictures of the Halloween costumes and people partying around. There were so many crazy awesome costumes and wild makeups! I never realized that on Halloween streets of Cork turn into one huge party. [...] -
Germany – Czech Republic car trip 2011
That was an incredible road trip. We got a car in Munich, went to Prague for 2 days, returned to Germany and drove round for 4 days, stayed in small hotels and tried local food on the way. We ended up in Prien am Chiemsee in the end. Read more for all posts and photos from that trip. [...] -
Prague from the Petřín Lookout Tower
Petřín Tower is very compact, and it’s pretty easy to take the stairs to the top and back . If the weather is clear you can see the whole Prague underneath. And the view is definitely worth it. Petřín Tower is famous for it’s resemblance with the Eiffel Tower, but it definitely has it's own character. [...] -
Aran Islands
This time we spent 3 days on Inis Mór in Kilmurvey b&b, had the best Irish stew every day. Also walked to Dún Aonghasa in the evening and caught a beautiful sunset. There was no one on the cliffs in that time, the wind was strong and the waves were high as never. [...] -
Abandoned Cork
If you go up the Barrack street in direction of the Bandon road you will find yourself in the area of empty shops, closed bars, abandoned takeaways. You can see, that some time ago this area was full of life. [...]
Car trip 2011 – Prague, Regensburg
I don’t have much of the photos from that trip left, but every time when look through the folder I try to find something for the post I remember how awesome that journey was. The weather was great, the car was fast, the food was tasty and towns we passed were different and beautiful in their own unique way. We should do it again!

Car trip – Rothenburg ob der Tauber, night Prague,
I really liked that house somewhere outside of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. All covered in flowers, old water well, rooms right under the roof – looked just perfect.
My attempt to get a picture of the night Prague
And this is the cafe where we had that Apfelstrudel
A small house built in the rocks, looked like a church, but a really small one

Beer icecream – Prague, 2010
This icecream you can buy in the brewery “U medvidku”. They have a huge restaurant nearby, their version of vepřové koleno is very tasty as well )
The icecream has a bitter taste, its covered with a whipped cream on top and they serve it in the beer stein. The taste is very unique, not something you would want every day probably, but definitely something to try at least once.

Karlovy Vary, 2010
Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) looks so much like a Soviet resort, it’s hard to realize that it’s actually in Europe. I think, there are more billboards in Russian than in English on the streets. Life is slow there non regarding the amounts of tourists. Streams of the mineral water are everywhere, just buy a special ceramic cup to drink hot water and you are sorted. It reminds me so much of Kislovodsk – the atmosphere, the park, the resort spirit – all there.
This is the building that was used in “Casino Royale” movie as a casino. I didn’t find a mentioning of it in wikipedia, so I looked up the movie – looks the same
Scene from a movie:
In 2010 we were there in spring, the weather was even chilly, and the town showed not only the tourist side, but the casual life as well
Waiting for the tourists to arrive
