Thanks for the reminder that Prague was little affected physically by the last war - I've tweaked my post to reflect that more clearly.<br /><br />I don't have personal experience of the ease of access from Prague to the countryside, but know from what you have both said that this is one of the many reasons you enjoy living there.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-63666749899499867292011-10-20T12:47:26.529+01:002011-10-20T12:47:26.529+01:00You're very welcome, Annie :-) It's such a...You're very welcome, Annie :-) It's such a pleasure to introduce others to a city I like so much and given the number of photos I took, I may well make a return visit in a future post. <br /><br />You're quite right - when 'it' was handed out, Prague certainly got more than its fair share!Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-16996067198656316522011-10-20T12:43:15.961+01:002011-10-20T12:43:15.961+01:00Hello Jane and Lance and thank you for your kind c...Hello Jane and Lance and thank you for your kind comments.

Your reasons for enjoying being i...Hello Perpetua,<br /><br />Your reasons for enjoying being in Prague concur very much with a post I wrote on my own blog at the beginning of this year http://rickyyates.com/why-i-like-living-in-prague/. In particular, whilst the citizens suffered much during the time of the Nazi occupation, the city itself experienced very little physical damage save for the odd stray bomb. And since the Velvet Revolution of nearly 22 years ago, a great deal of effort and money has been put into the restoration of its magnificent architecture.<br /><br />As you know, I spent more than 15 years living in the Oxfordshire countryside before coming here just over 3 years ago. And apart from 11 months living in London back in 1979-80, Prague is by far the largest city I've ever lived in. However, like you I enjoy all that the city has to offer which you so clearly describe and illustrate. And not only the green spaces and trees in the city, but also the close proximity to the countryside, make it a joy to live here.chaplain.czhttp://www.rickyyates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-54231459257061264742011-10-20T11:13:17.463+01:002011-10-20T11:13:17.463+01:00Thank you Perpetua, for this virtual visit of a pl...Thank you Perpetua, for this virtual visit of a place I've always wanted to see. I have so enjoyed wandering the streets (and riding the tram) with you today and might go back again quite soon!<br />Whatever 'it' is, some places just have 'it' in spades, don't they? Prague is clearly one of these places.<br />AxxArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-83423010277883164432011-10-20T09:53:37.814+01:002011-10-20T09:53:37.814+01:00Hello Perpetua:

To be able to walk around and see so much or be efficiently transported by tram and bus makes exploring so much more pleasurable than in many other larger and more 'anonymous' cities.<br /><br />We are so pleased to read that you enjoyed your time there and feel certain that a return will be almost inevitable.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-53798578714455804662011-10-20T09:31:23.517+01:002011-10-20T09:31:23.517+01:00Hello :) Quite a few of my friends have visited P...Hello :) Quite a few of my friends have visited Prague on a number of occasions and say that I would love it. I have never had the opportunity of going, but I would like to. It looks lovely! I am not really a city fan - so the fact you say you could live there (despite being a country girl) - encourages me!<br />Thanks for sharing the pictures and your thoughts.<br /><br />JoJo Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660256915350483156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-6573134124290507452011-10-20T08:51:58.278+01:002011-10-20T08:51:58.278+01:00Oh that really makes me want to see it.
