Welcome to The Czech Republic

The last stop on our land and river tour was the country of the Czech Republic.  After getting off the river boat in Regensburg, Germany we took a bus to Prague for three days.   We toured Prague and then did day trips to the other two cities listed.  We really liked the country and the scenery between cities.   This is certainly a place we would go back to.  Everywhere we went people spoke English, which certainly made it easier.
