What I like most about living in Prague

What I like most about living in Prague is actually leaving Prague early on a Saturday or Sunday morning and hitting the Czech Republic’s excellent network of hiking trails. Sometimes I go with friends, sometimes alone but I always finish at a microbrewery! There are now more than 300 in the country, and many of them are well-situated for the trails and train stations. Public transport is cheap and fairly reliable, so it’s easy to get around.

I took this photo last August in the the ‘Radouš’ microbrewery in Šťáhlavy (near Pilsen). The friendly owner told us that the storks had come to his roof to get some peace and quiet from their rowdy youngsters (the nest was nearby, on the chimney of a former distillery). I’m looking forward to going back soon to see if the storks have come back, and to drink some more of his excellent beer!
