Maybe the journey to the moon have just started now :-)

Thanks anonymous

Back home

Fortunately I'll not use cheap philosophy because beyond the  money another resource has gone. And it can't be bought with money: time.

But a phrase crossed my mind. It is from a brazilian whose complete name I forgot but it is composed by Geraldo Souza.

I'll try to translate it and I apologyze for any mistake in advance.

Consider yourself always as a winner because it's better lose by trying than preserve to nothing

See you later

Back to Prague

.... with spring weather :-) and also Prague Spring is on the way.

So it's an oportunity to finish visiting Prague Castle

where every hour the changing of guards takes place and at noon it's the longest one

and get in St. Vitus Cathedral with coloured-glass-windows

I found strength to climp up to 300 steps of great Tower and took some pictures.

Last day and some shopping

And if there is some money avaiable you can spend it with some beers at El Duende

It's better stop writting and let the pictures do it by themselves :-)

Back to Bohemia

Fortunately it's not the beer because I've never left her :-)
Also fortunately my workmate has gone so the weather at Prague was fine but I don't know how the weather is in Brasília :-) there are no arguments against facts.

There was no time enough to know all Bohemia so on the way back there is another chance to look at some of them. For example Franz Kafka at Prague.

For people who have had problems in father's relationships I recommend Letter to his father.
Also I do for those ones that are lucky for not having them  :-)
For living writter I haven't found any monument but I suggest you The Unbearable lightness of being ... the book... the book not the movie unless you are a fan of Juliette Binoche or perhaps Daniel Day Lewis.

Back to Moravia

For a short stop at Olomouc where it was a wonderful day :-)
Starting from Dolní Nám with Church of the Annunciation of St. Mary and Marian Plague column.

Close it's Horní Nám with town hall Tower and Unesco heritage Holy Trinity Column

and some no identified places.... at least for me :-)

Finally I could answer the hard and famous William Shakesbeer's question :-)

and its correct answer :-)

Crossing the correct border

The correct border depends on the point of view :-)

Again .... cheap philosophy is all you get without sponsorship :-)

Back to the travel :-) in order to reach Czech Republic by train the only one available was a overnight train.  At my age.... hmmm! no way :-( maybe if it was 12 years ago it could be so there were 2 more options among others of course.

1) Go to Warsaw and take a fly back to Praha
2) Take a bus to Cieszyn which is on the czech border

The last option was choosen and when I arrived there is no information office... few people speaks english so try the younger. There was also time for last meeting with Lech :-)

Some meters more and the border between Poland and Czech Republic.

Just after crossing the river.... back to 1st world with information  office :-)

Kazimierz

Jewish signs are visible in this neighborhood

There is also Lech without Walesa :-)

The weather keeps on control

The forecast for today was rainy and cloud so I decided to visit a dark reminder of humankind :-(

About one and half hour away from Kraków by bus it's Auschwitz in which entrance it's written Arbeit macht frei. hmmm!!!

I  guessed that Auschwitz was the unique concentration camp but there were two more. One of them is Birkenau that is bigger thant Auschwitz and it's also included in the visit but it was raining, Birdenau is also an outdoor activity and I was being depressed so I said to myself: it's time to stop visiting and start drinking to recover myself :-)

The weather defines my journey

By trusting in forecast I walked up to Wawel Hill where it is located Wawel cathedral.

Also there is Wawel castle whose Royal private apartments can be visited only with guided tour....hmmmm!!! guided... guided...... hmmmm!!!

I decided to exchange it by a beer at restauracja Pod Gruszka where I found a picture of myself trying to reach the retirement :-(

Where am I ?

A good way for searching an answer for the question, in my opinion, is a free walk :-)

First stop at Rynek Glówny that is the main square.

Away from the central square flanked by Vistula river there is The Altar Of Three Millenia.

inside of which there are

Finally, if you enjoy listening classic music there is Filharmonia Krakowska

where inside pictures are not allowed during the playing.

Crossing borders back

On the way back I started to cross the same borders but there was a problem with the train brake and it crossed the polish border too :-)

If  I could stop it I surely would do but my forces were only able to stop at Kraków and late at night so let me take a rest :-)

below Cloth Hall

After drinking a polish beer the end is not so near :-)

Back to Budapest

Facts:
1) Instead of attempts or traps, I'm still a sponsorless tourist so the end is near :-(
2) Communism is over.... at least in Hungary but Capitalism always find a way to get  more money even bu using its enemies. For example, by selling Lenin's portrait :-(

 

among others articles of consumption you can buy one at Váci utca

3) Hungarian beer explains my mood :-(

Pésc

One different letter and an acute accent make a great difference :-)

Pécs whose temperature is some degrees higher is located at southern Hungary and about 2,5 hour away by train from Budapest.

At the central square it's Mosque Church whose inside may explain its name.

From the old city walls

there is only one stone bastion to survive.

By speaking about surviving, with some degrees higher it's time to taste hungary beer :-) therefore if the beer is good I'll not write posts for some days. Egészségedre :-)
