Be Amazing: Prague & Vienna

Personal Legend

Hi everyone and welcome to my travel blog. The title, "Personal Legend" was inspired by the book The Alchemist authored by Paulo Coelho. Hopefully it can somewhat serve as inspiration to all of those who are considering "checking out" for a while or taking a trip to find their own Personal Legend. I am creating this to not only keep in touch with everyone but to also keep people current during my "Walkabout". I will attempt to update it every week and a half (or so) with new pictures ( and some commentary). If anyone is interested in meeting up with me along the journey or has any suggestions of some "can't miss" destinations, just drop me a note.

Sorry it took a while to put together but I wanted it properly populated upon rollout.

Enjoy.

Prague & Vienna

Visited Prague for a few days last week and the city was absolutely amazing. A bit too "touristy" for my tastes but definitely happy I visited. For a less touristy feel, I was told that Czesky Krumlov can be quite enjoyable. Outside of the standard Old Town, Charles Bridge and Astronomical Clock, I went to an Absinthe Bar... and that's pretty much it.

...Of Course!

The "Whizzing" Statues; if you look closely, they are standing in a pond in the shape of the Czech Republic

From Prague I went to Vienna, Austria and visited the Museum quarter as well as the Hundertwasser Museum. I took in the opera as well; pretty good deal, standing room for only 4 Euro.

Crazy Statue in front of the Parliament Building. Looks like animal cruelty to me...
