The Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic

Prague, the capital and the largest city of Czech Republic is one of the beautiful cities to visit in Europe. There is a river named Vltava that runs in this city. In fact it is the longest river that runs in the Czech Republic. The river is crossed by 18 bridges and runs through Prague over 31 km.

I have a snapshot of this river which I took during my second visit in this this city last July 2011.

Lastly, since we are bidding goodbye to 2011, I want to greet everyone a happy and more blessed New Year 2012. God bless us all! God bless the world!

Snapshot from Marienbad, Czech Republic

I am thinking of going back to this Marienbad this Saturday. I am happy that I was there. Even I did not saw everything during our visit, I am still happy and contented that I was there. What can you do with only around two hours of visit.

Mariánské Lázně, as it is called on Czech language or Mary's Bath in English, is a spa town in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. The town, surrounded by green mountains, is a mosaic of parks and noble houses. Most of its buildings come from the town's Golden Era in the second half of the 19th century, when many celebrities and top European rulers came to enjoy the curative carbon dioxide springs.

Travel Snapshot - The Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic

The Charles Bridge, also known as Karlův most is a historical and famous bridge in Prague, Czech Republic. It crosses the Vltava river that runs in this city. It was formerly called the Stone Bridge or Kamenný most but since 1870, it has been called the "Charles Bridge". You can see religious statues and statuaries on the sides of this gothic bridge.

How lucky I am to stepped on this historical bridge twice already.

This was taken during my second visit last July 2011 in Prague. Thanks to good friends around for inviting me to tour with them.
