Off To Austria, Badgastein, on Thursday (great Party and alittle skiing) :twisted:

Hopefully Barcelona in the begining of May to see F1.

And Budapest in June just for a weekend, anyone have some good tips about Budapest? Never been there before.

And Roskilde Festival (Denmark) for one week in the begining of July (160 band playing and Hopefully the Pogues)

After that my holliday starts and i don´t have a clue what to do, :roll:

Thanks for promo!

Have any of the places you visited stuck in your memory? Just curious.

It should be mentioned that our Ms. Z is far too modest to point out her gallery of lovely photos from in and around Praguelandia:

I can't remember any names I'm afraid. There was a little bar/resturant we went into. It was somewhere between the Square and The Hilton Hotel but off the main route, if you know what I mean. We found it by accident but it was fantastic. We also went into the some of the 'touristy' bars like Caffery's(on the square) and Rocky O'Reilly's but I would prefer the 'local' spots.

The only dissappointment we had (and it is small) was that Pizza Hut was no more and a Kentucky Frid Chicken had replaced it :shock:

Nah, that would be my amazingly perfect in every single way niece Cáitriona.

Aye, she does look like a lovely little girl......but don't thet all when they are that size and not screaming the place down. :shock:

I've been there a couple of times. It's a beautiful city. Heroes' Square and the Parliament building (which is on the banks of the Danube) are both well worth seeing. The castle, which is on a hill on the Buda side of the river, has fantastic views over the city.
There are plenty of good bars in the city and the nightlife is very good. Champs Bar is the place to go if you want to watch live football coverage. If you like clubs, Dokk was a good place to go on Fridays. There is a good pub/club in the city centre called Banhof (spelling may not be quite right), which has a couple of rooms playing rock/pop music. If you like real full-on club nights, go to Studio on a Saturday- not my scene personally, but my friends enjoyed it and it was very busy.
It is worth taking the time to research pubs and clubs on the internet before you go, because there are some dodgy ones around- some of which are right in the middle of the city. http://www.partyphoto.hu is a good starting point.
