Crossing the road in Prague requires great caution. Czech drivers do not seem to have the same respect and care for pedestrians, even on pedestrian crossings and at crossings with lights for pedestrians. Expect no one to stop to give way unless you take the risk and launch yourself into the traffic. Even if you have a "green man" don't expect the traffic to give way easily, and for cars to drive through. The police appear to ignore and suffer as other pedestrians do, so it is obvious that it is just one of those things that you should expect while in the Czech Republic. Do take care.

Remarkably fresh oysters - some taken from the water the morning they are served - available any way you can think of and shucked (opened) fresh after you order. The best clam chowder I have ever had - made with fresh clams as well as other great cooked seafood meals. All set looking over the harbour amidst some other fine restaurants. Best eating I have had in three months of travelling.

This is a central Australian must see. An award winning, well set-out park that offers a great insight into desert ecosystems (much richer than most realise), aboriginal land use and amazing animal displays. Entrance is not cheap, but it’s a sophisticated, full-day experience.

You can get there by shuttle bus from most hotels and guesthouses in town. You could hire a bike (20 minute ride from centre) or walk (about 40mins, 6kms); www.alicespringsdesertpark.com.au/

Hip hotel near the Town Hall. Great rooms with modern features - the Danish touch. Breakfast (on the 6th floor with great views) was included on our deal - of which the best seemed to be on the Hotels website.
