My best wishes to all for the festive season!


My wife and I are travelling a little at present, and currently in a chilly Prague (hovering around -1 C with occasional very fine snow misting that evaporates before it hits the ground).


The Christmas markets are still in full steam. There was an interesting stall in Vienna with old hand tools and related fittings. Rather rusty looking ...

Of course, these are all chocolate. Amazingly realistic ...

Have you tested what we all want to know?

Is Czech beer cheaper than water?

[Patrick Walsh]

Wow that’s really really impressive.

That rust looks delicious, though for me a darker rust is preferred. :D

Jim, Czech beer is very decent (Austrian and German beer is the best). Czech cuisine is for the hardy. Boiled potatoes, pickled cabbage and pork is the staple, it appears. An acquired taste. Gave up today and looked at more international fare. Prague has a wide range of alternatives. What it lacks in food, it makes up in the sites.

I have been in Germany several times at Christmas and the markets are great fun.
