Maur & Cath in Prague & Iceland

Hi, everyone, This is to catch you all up to where we are today - in Iceland, staying on Vestmannaeyjar, an island off the south coast.  Lots of photos of that later... Back to Friday, in Prague: Belinda, Carol, Hamish, Toby, Maureen and I went to Prague Zoo - it was amazing, incredibly clean, well organised and not overly busy, even though it's high tourist time and school holidays.  Belinda, Carol and the boys stayed till about 12 or so, when the boys were tired and cranky and ready to leave.  Maureen and I stayed till about 2 and FOUND OUR OWN WAY HOME USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!!!!!  The flamingos were extremely noisy but very graceful and also very argumentative.  They always remind me of Paul...  Please excuse the poor quality of the photos but almost all of them were taken through glass.  That's a really tiny blue lizard on the left - not sure what type but Maureen will have taken a photo of the accompanying information plaque so she ...

Good morning, everyone. We are at our hotel in Oslo after breakfast, trying to load the itinerary and maps and having no success at all.  Maureen has downloaded all her photos onto the laptop and my OneDrive is now full... We have lots of photos to upload and I'll get to that shortly.  First, though, a brief snapshot of what we've been doing since we left home: You know about the flight over and our stay in Dubai and our flight to Prague, all of which I slept through.  You might need Maureen to fill you in on the details of that part of the journey. Worn out from taking the boys to daycare... Taking the boys to daycare. On Wednesday, our first full day in Prague, Maureen and I walked around the city, across the Charles Bridge, then caught the tram home.  I believe there is a more detailed entry already so I won't go into too much detail here.  We all went to Marks & Spencers for some necessary items, then Maur & I left Carol to continue ...

At Prague airport, having brekkie while we wait for our flight to Oslo.  We've had a lovely few days in Prague and can't wait to get back there to explore further.  Getting very excited about finally arriving in Iceland. Got a universal charger for my laptop and we are almost ready to put photos up.  Maureen spent 3 hours last night downloading her photos from her camera and saving them to USB.  Hopefully it will be my turn tonight...

At last - though I'm doing this on my phone.  Consequently, there won't be as much commentary as I would have liked and as you all would have LOVED!!!!! The flight was pretty good - I slept for about 8 hours on and off.  Maureen wasn't impressed, making derogatory remarks about the 'pleasure' of my company and how it had better improve.  Huh!! We got into Prague and made it to Frank's by 3 or so.  Carol met us with the boys, who were overjoyed to see us.  It just took them a little time to demonstrate their affection for us, being quiet and reserved like their father.  Frank, Belinda and carol all told us how popular Gary was with the boys but neither Hamish nor Toby have mentioned him since we arrived - just sayin'. Maureen and I went to daycare with Carol yesterday, had a coffee at Costa then Maureen and I set off down to the Old Town to explore. We saw places that were fabulously beautiful but I can't remember their names - I'll have to look a...

Hi everyone. We are up and will soon be running!! Maps and itineraries to follow!! Love Maur
