Jazz and Blues Nights (CZECH REP)

Prague - Czech Republic, 08/29/1998

A long train ride from Paris, to return to Prague.

After many months of travel, it feels weird to get to a place "known." Luckily I had to repeat a city from which it was easy to fall in love, so I started to enjoy, rather than just sightseeing.

The wait in front of the Uruguayan embassy in Prague (to be closed for the weekend) was quite long, for my new teammates were slow to arrive. While waiting I had lunch at a local restaurant (U Voja CKU). Rich fish, and as he had written before, very cheap for what they are European prices.

With this new group were less expensive accommodations, betting basically a campground where we camped sometimes and other times we used cabins. In Prague the option was offers comfortable cabins in the Autocamp Trojska ( Trojska 375/157).

Once installed, while the companions were the tours (which I had already done) I devoted myself to revisit my two favorite places in the city: Prague Castle (whose tower had a death row inmate who extended his living playing the violin, because it was so good that people would rather hear his music before he was killed), the Gothic Church (with its towers 58 meters high) and Bridge over the Vltava River the year 1357 (with music by the jazz band the bridge, which I brought a CD).

At night we enjoyed some music . On two different nights we went to two very different places: on the traditional Reduta Jazz Club (founded in 1958 and counts as one of the first in Europe) where they played great jazz and some other celebrities like Bill Clinton sax. There is nothing to pay an entrance face (3.75 dollars) saw a local band called "The eye of the hurricane."

The other musical experience was in a smaller pub (Glena Maleh U) where he played "Stan The Man " Bohemian Blues Band featuring the album: " Liquor, Love & Lies ." Really good. The first two tracks show off the guitarist left with very lengthy solos, but then took his fixed role of bassist and owner was even better. The musicians were rotating from the tables of groups, alternating drummer, guitarists and pianists in the style jam session .

Lights of Paris (France)

Lyon - France, 23/08/1998

The visit to Lyon was swift, barely met the Fourvière Basilica (which has a very good view of the city), and we followed route to Paris.

spent a night in the Hotel Formula 1 - Lyon Chasse sur Rohne (Rue F Mistral). This chain is characterized by function almost automatically with very little personal. There are not many amenities but is quick and convenient for people who are traveling.

Paris - France, 28/08/1998

in Paris is not easy to solve the issue of accommodation. It's a good idea, as in England, have something resolved for at least the first two nights. We were lucky, and found the Hotel Lux (well, simple and central: 8 av. Corbera - Revilly - Diderot) and from there we drove in Metro the city.

The city is great, but is easily navigated using the meters ( should go buy a tourist VISIT PARIS selling to move freely for several days.) Places to visit are many and scattered (the blocks to make them seem endless walking). Involves travel by subway to train combinations, because in general there is a direct take you where you go. The night has its movement, but we must bear in mind that most of the meters fail to pass some time.

The tour began by recalling the trip to Egypt, as in the Place de la Concorde the French look a Luxor Obelisk with golden tip , the era of imperial plunder. Even at the bottom detailed the transfer process .

Then, the Arc de Triomphe (we had to pay attention to what they said leaflets and using the underground tunnel crossing because the traffic is chaotic). In the center a permanent recalling called the Unknown Soldier, and within a museum. From there very good view to take pictures on the Champs Elysee Avenue. There is another arch in Carrousel Plaza.

At the top of the Eiffel Tower (wearing a countdown to the year 2000), are the distances to cities around the world, including Montevideo (10,933 km from home). Front the tower sources of Trocadéro Square, a nice place to have a good time.

Another good recommendation is to visit the Eiffel Tower at night (about U $ S 10 for the promotion), and take photos views of the city during the day on top of the building Montparnasse.
Paris is a city to take it in stride and enjoy it. A walk along the shore of the Seine is something you enjoy. The Pont Vienna is the closest to the Eiffel Tower, and more later is the Pont Royal , and Ile de la Cité the church Sainte Chapell and its 600 m2 of windows .

The Church of Notre Dame with its Gothic towers, it is difficult to photograph because of the lack of remote. Other buildings: Santa Magdalena ( magdalenae ) Picasso Museum (Building Solé), Les Invalides and the Tomb of Napoleon . In the rapid

traveled by the Louvre museum (with details of the pyramid of glass that fits perfectly with the historic building ) gave us the luxury of watching his three most famous works: The Mona Lisa (hung too high, and after an acrylic plate, photographed by millions of tourists per second), the Victory of Samothrace (largely ignored, in a corridor that many people pass by without noticing it) and Venus Milo . It is also very nice an equestrian statue of Joan of Arc in gold, just outside the museum.

Other classic captive are: the University La Sorbonne the Sacre Coure and the Bastille Opera (built by Uruguayan Carlos Ott ) in front of Juliet's Tower .

The French have a reputation of a few friends of tourists and has some truth this. Parisians do not strive to understand other languages \u200b\u200band are always in an attitude of annoyance in the presence of visitors. There are many Moroccans, really black, everywhere. Some Africans (sons of the French colonies) wear their costumes.

try a drink at the Café de la Paix , but prices are crazy. The Esplanade

Defense is much to see. On one side are the great buildings of the new city , the modern Arche de la Defense , panoramic elevators, and incredible experience Film Dome - dome-shaped screen of 1,100 m2 of screen with 15,200 Kwts sound.

From Paris, a fast train to Prague (136 dollars), payment of a visa for the second entry to Czech Republic (U $ S 41), to begin the second part of the route : Austria, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Andorra and back to Paris.

The Cote d'Azur (France)

Menton - France, 20/08/1998

Leaving Switzerland made a small passage Italy, visiting Torino (Turin ) and the river Po then crossing the Alps again and start our tour of the French Riviera.

To visit the principality of Monaco we installed the Plateau Lodge - St. Michel that runs on the Plateau Camping . The place is in the French city of Menton (a few meters from the border with Italy, and close to Monaco).

In Monaco visited the Royal Palace (with another change of guard included), the Puerto of Yates, the Casino and toured the streets as it does of Grand Prix Formula 1 .

We spent a red light in Monaco, and then talk a little English to confuse enough, we spared the fine.

Nice - France, 08/21/1998
International
Les Relais de la Jeunesse (26 Av Scuderi - Cimiez) was our stay in Nice, but not recommended for being very strict schedules and the overall functioning of the hostel .

The Riviera is famous for the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea surrounded in the mountains. Obviously it's a beautiful corner of the world, with clear water beaches. To not stay with the idea that everything is beach, visited the ruins of the ancient city of Cemenelum , including an amphitheater and baths public.

We are also one of the meccas Film: Cannes . The red carpet was ready for Jan 51 Festival International du Film. There in the Bd de la Croisette offered a 15-minute walk Ferrari for 300 FF ($ 60).

Marseille - France, 08/22/1998

unthinkable after a dialogue between one of the traveling companions (supposedly only spoke English) and the night clerk of Hotel Timotel (18, B. Rabatau), we lodge at a reasonable cost, because we did a 3x2 price.

This city was our last stop in the Mediterranean then take the north route would take us to Paris - the end of the first tranche and change of travel companions.

En route we pass through Avignon (famous for Palais des Papes and Pont d'Avignon XII century the Rhone ). The nursery rhyme says " sur le pont d'Avignon, l'on y danse, l'on y danse " , and do not understand why he said " under the bridge" instead of saying " on the bridge "(one believes that down the bridges there is only water), but we find that under the bridge is a small island which operated a tavern.
