    Anyone been to Prague and Croatia? Heard they are both lovely but not sure which to choose

    We went to Prague last year, stayed at Ibis which was good value, you could eat enough breakfast to keep you going all day
    Or if you want a real bargain our daughter recommends Sophies hostel

  • We went to Prague a few years ago.

    Quite funny, we were walking through this old city and came upon this ultra modern shopping centre with all the designer shops in it.

    I really do not remember much more about it, apart from that it was blooming cold :eek:

    I am a bit concerned about the BBC putting Tom Daley story about a baby on their front page, because as far as I can see there is no confirmation it is legal or not.
    You can have surrogates in the UK and pay "reasonable" expenses encurred. Also the "mother", even with a contract, can still say she wants to keep the child.
    If it had been an announcement of the child's birth and adoption, it would entirely be fine, as long as confirmed, but without checking the facts, aren't the BBC putting them in a position of accepting something that seems to have been on "social" media. The exact thing that news agencies have been advising people not to do.

    Anyway I have a bee in my bonnet about articial insemination/surrogacy when there are orphans and children out there without families, who only have a life of social care and then abandonment by teh state when they come of age. Not a good start in life for a innocent child.

    Serious moment now finished for this month :)

    Bee comes from the fact I am one of the lucky ones, adopted by my mum and dad at four months old and loved and cared for as much, and probably more than, other children born to their parents.

    No surprise with the bbc.

    Anyone been to Prague and Croatia? Heard they are both lovely but not sure which to choose

    went to Prague in December 2017... i wouldnt recommend it..
    Stayed at the Hotel Grandior a 5 star hotel very conveneint location..
    but is ENGLISH a widely spoken language in Prage or the hotel.. and the answer is NO>

    Very unfriendly people... I think its down to their communist past..
    I went with my duahgter and we found they are very rude.. and we thought it was cos we are Chinese... but at the airport we can confirm with other travellers that was not the case.

    a mother and daughter got pickpocketed in Prague (ENGLISH) and went to police station to report the crime.. no police around that could speak English so they went back to their hotel.
    Next day the police went to the hotel to pick them up and took them in the police car to the station.

    they set off and after 5 mins at a normal pace, suddenly they had the sirens blaring and was going at a ridiculous speed wizzing through traffic lights etc.. this went on for 15 mins or so and it stopped suddenley. they picked up the interpreter. and then carried on to the station at a normal pace ..

    the Czech Police were just taking the mick.... and poor mother and daughter were hanging on for dear life...

    My daughter also got pickpocketed too ad we went to like 4 doors and 2 different police stations b4 we found the correct one... no open doors u had to ring the bell to get in.. and then no english was spoken and we had to wait for an interpreter...

    so not again ...

    but saying this my neighbour who is gay goes every other week for the night scene in Prague.. and he loves it..
