Six Days in Prague

In this article (15,431 words, 33 photographs) we discuss our six-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. We discuss our daily activities; present photographs of the wonderful buildings; provide a comprehensive list of references (hyperlinks); identify and describe key landmarks; and highlight the notable persons who were consistently highlighted during our visit. Our highlights, disappointments, lessons learnt and what we’d do if we visited again, are all discussed.
On arrival, we settled into our apartment, sourced provisions and walked around our immediate neighbourhood. Across the next six days were visited a Farmer’s Market; undertook two private walking tours covering Prague Castle, Lesser Town, Charles Bridge, the Old Town, and Wenceslas Square; experienced a wonderful concert and two fine dining restaurants; spent an evening on the banks of the Vltava River; and revisited the key attractions.
Architecture was one key theme of our trip. We spent some early mornings securing photos of the wonderfully preserved buildings in Prague, many of which are contained in this eBook. Appendix A discusses the architectural styles to be found in Prague. The other theme explored in our eBook is the history of Prague in the 20th century. A synopsis is provided in Appendix B. Appendix C contains a comprehensive list of the references we used to plan and undertake our trip.
We can confidently say that Prague lives up to its reputation and then some. Take a week to visit this wonderful city and admire the architecture of its buildings.

About the Author

OS Wayfarer will chart my journey from international development assistance specialist (project management, monitoring and evaluation, and tender writing) to travel, feature and business writer. My tender management and writing was informed by over 25 years as a development assistance consultant and by an intimate knowledge of the tendering process. I really enjoyed this tendering work - in essence it was putting together a story, albeit a non-fictional story. The deadlines, research, planning, interviewing, writing and presentation for each tender were all consuming and satisfying, yet exhausting at the end. I do not wish to retire but I do want to "transition to retirement" and travel a lot more for pleasure. So why not write about some of the travels and also write about professional aspects of my development assistance work? From what I can see this self-publishing caper is a lot like tender preparation. So I intend to write, publish and market articles (as eBooks) about project monitoring, tendering and travel. I want to learn everything about this exciting process. Oh, and I am a sucker for technology - I do enjoy my Kindle, DSLR camera, notebook, smartphone and digital voice recorder! I welcome your feedback as I learn to write, publish and market these eBooks.
