3 AM.

To coordinate our arrival with the Irons’s in Estonia we have to be on the 0630 (that’s six thirty in the morning for the 24 hour challenged) flight out of Prague and given the dramas getting here we are allowing three hours to to get all the ducks lined up ready for take off so to speak. Further to this we can’t get a direct flight to Estonia (and I was told it was a developed country) so we will be travelling via Amsterdam.  Lyndal and Sam should already be in Estonia and I hope they have found a good Bar with Czech beer as I will need to wean myself off this twelve percent rocket fuel.

Being our last day here we decided to seek out a locale with a variety of architectural styles, nice sculptures and most importantly a bit of quiet away from the tourists. The ideal location for those things is located at Vinohradska 166-178 more commonly known as Olsannske hrbitovy. Here you will find one of the quietest most serene spots in Prague, slight traffic noise is the only clue that you have not been transported to another dimension or existence. Birds sing, leaves fall softly to the ground from overhanging trees which supply shade to ones travel weary body. You could truly choose stay here forever, in fact many have. There are an estimated two million residents here however only about ten percent have been registered with the authorities which makes it a bit difficult to find accommodation.

By the way Olsannske hrbitovy if you hadn’t guessed is a cemetery.
