Mrs Lifecruiser right in the core of the heart.

To show you the photo proof of Lifecruiser Love message at the Lennon peace and love wall, I did take a close up of the text. It was difficult to write it, so don’t blame me for the bad handwriting!

I wasn’t really prepared to write on the wall, hadn’t planned to do it. If you go there – get a proper pen before going there! You simply have to write something.

Travel Photo: Prague Bankomat http://lifecruiser.org/archive/travel-photo-prague-bankomat/ http://lifecruiser.org/archive/travel-photo-prague-bankomat/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:42:02 +0000 Lifecruiser http://lifecruiser.org/?p=6093 I captured this bankomat photo on an unknown street in Prague, Czech Republic. Bankomat means ATM. Though I doubt it that you can get out any money from this one…

My guess is that it used to be an ATM there before and that someone were having a bit fun here… ha ha…

Lennons Love and Peace Wall Prague http://lifecruiser.org/archive/lennons-love-and-peace-wall-prague/ http://lifecruiser.org/archive/lennons-love-and-peace-wall-prague/#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:00:47 +0000 Lifecruiser http://lifecruiser.org/?p=6041 There is a very special wall in Prague in Czech Republic: John Lennon’s Love and Peace wall. It’s called that because from the beginning in the eighties it had a portrait of Lennon and has since then been filled with words and graphics from Beatles songs, many times as a political message.

prague-lennon-peace-wall

This is a wall that is highly alive, people goes there all the time, either to read or to write upon it. Layers and layers of public messages. The authorities has tried to paint over all the drawings, but somehow it resurrects…

It has become a bit tourist attraction of Prague. A symbol of love and peace – what could be more worth to see…?

Prague Ghostly Dripstone Wall http://lifecruiser.org/archive/prague-ghostly-dripstone-wall/ http://lifecruiser.org/archive/prague-ghostly-dripstone-wall/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:00:06 +0000 Lifecruiser http://lifecruiser.org/?p=6040 When we were in Prague we spotted the strangest wall I’ve ever seen: the Grotesquery, an artificial and truly ghostly dripstone wall, looking like it were inside a limestone cave.

Just the fact that the wall is dark, makes me think it’s extra ghostly and if taking a closer look at the dripstone wall, you can spot animals and monsters as well as some faces here and there.

prague-strange-ghost-wall-close

The dripstone wall was made by Italians in the 17th century and is located in the Wallensteins garden below the Prague castle. We did not take any more pictures from the garden – the wall took all our attention!

Though we have already seen some of the sculptures by Adrian de Vries in the garden, since they are copies. The Swedish military confiscated them during the 30-years war and the originals are still in the Drottningholm Palace Park in Stockholm.

Joyful Prague Music Orchestra http://lifecruiser.org/archive/joyful-prague-music-orchestra/ http://lifecruiser.org/archive/joyful-prague-music-orchestra/#comments Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:21:46 +0000 Lifecruiser http://lifecruiser.org/?p=2375 I had a wonderful birthday evening when we were in Prague. After a lot of sightseeing during the day, it was great to take seat at one of the restaurants down at the Old Town Square – and with such joyful orchestra: Rusty circle, playing for us!

I love it when the musicians are having FUN when they’re performing (and not only doing it as it were any boring job task) and this orchestra really lived up to that. They played the perfect joyful music for an evening out, putting us in a very good mood.

Actually they reminded us very much about another Swedish band we use to meet at our summer paradise island: remember Jösses Pojkar we’ve written about before?

When Rusty circle did take their “academic beer pause”, hubby said he would go to the gents room, but he actually went to talk to them, to make them play something for ME!

Surprise! They came back playing and singing Happy Birthday for me and making everyone at the restaurant singing along!

Not only that, they had (without even hubby knowing) written happy birthday plus my name & signed one of their CD’s, which they gave to me too. Such nice guys I tell you.

My beloved hubby also had ordered some romantic songs to be played for me, which they did…. Several of them. Ah… it was such a romantic evening…

This was at a special Medieval restaurant: U Zlate Konvice – not exactly the cheapest in Prague, but with a special touch.

PS. If you’re interested in Prague, there will be more posts about our time there later on this blog, but also in between there will be posts about other trips we’ve made.

50th Travel Birthday Gifts http://lifecruiser.org/archive/50th-travel-birthday-gifts/ http://lifecruiser.org/archive/50th-travel-birthday-gifts/#comments Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:58:29 +0000 Lifecruiser http://lifecruiser.org/?p=2371 I had a wonderful 50th birthday in Prague – which was my birthday gift from hubby. Add to that to wake up to birthday singing, with sparkling wine and Roses on the breakfast tray…

The roses were so beautiful, I would even say perfect. There are roses and there are roses if you know what I mean…

It’s a little story around those roses and the sparkling wine. It should have been 3 bottles of them and many, many more roses, because there were more persons trying to give me them!

I guess you can figure out that hubby ordered champagne & roses for me. Then there were our dear Norwegian blog friends calling the hotel ordering the same! Then my best friend Miss Ass. Lifecruiser called the hotel from Spain and tried to order it too, but she got refused to for some strange reason…

Obviously the hotel had never experienced a person that could be celebrated by several persons at once, because all that came in the morning were 1 bottle of Czech Pilsner Sekt Demi sec Premium – which seem to be their most popular sparkling wine – and 5 beautiful red roses.

I didn’t mind terrible though, it’s always interesting to taste something produced in the country or city you are in right then and besides that I only managed to drink that bottle! *giggles*

At the breakfast tray there also were a very nice birthday letter from our Norwegian blog friends, TorAa and Anna, RennyBA and DianeCA plus the fact that they even called me later that day to congratulate me!

…and then there were a lot of congratulations by phone calls, in different social networks including emails – you guys and gal’s totally ROCKS!!! Thank you so much!!!

Not only that, when we arrived at home there were a surprise left for me on the kitchen table: my wonderful sisters and brother had been there while we were away and put some gifts for me.

This was done despite the fact that I had announced that I would not celebrate my birthday, but of course I understand that they wanted to give me something anyway. I’d have done the same.

They certainly know me well, because what did they choose to give me? Flowers, the left one an Asian one, 1 book of exploring Sweden which I have been tempted to buy myself, my favorite chocolate from Lindt and an adventure gift box!

The adventure gift box is from Live It where I can choose an activity to do. Only problem is: there are so many interesting things that I’m having problems to choose… *giggles*

I’m also limited, since I can’t do anything that endanger my back, no bumpy stuff risks, so I can’t choose for an example a balloon flight – which I might have done otherwise!

They gave me the coolest card ever! With an old photo of me (my head) on the front glued on some celeb’s body.

This is something they always have done, the old kinda scrapbooking: mixed photos with cuts from magazines and other things.

The card text says: The 50′s finest perfect favorite. And in small at the bottom you can’t see: Style and Quality. Oh my, I’m flattered… *giggles*

My sister was with us when we saw the movie about Marie Antoinette, plus hubby is said to be related to her somehow way back in time, so it was a good choice to put pictures of Marie Antoinette in there.

In this photo in the heart below you can see my siblings gathered, just as they are in my heart. The photo is taken sometime during the end of the sixties.

I’m so grateful to have such wonderful siblings! Never ever any problems between us and we’re really there for each other when it counts. They’re the best!

In my next post I will tell you about the evening out in Prague we had on my birthday, when we met some really nice guys!!!
