Air b'n'b

Traveling Europe we are learnt a few tips and tricks.  One is Air b'n'b and Home Exchange.  We have had a go at Air b'n'b, this is Theo a visitor we have had staying.  Theo is from Greece and likes to cook.  We had a good laugh the day he came home from the local market with a duck, Corban was pretty keen to help him pluck it!  But she wasn't keen on eating it. 

Red Bull - Bird Man


Prague is a bustling busy city there is always something to see from the street performers to organised events.  This one was the Red Bull equivalent to the Bird Man!   The stage was huge, lots of music and 1000's of people.  Both the bridges in the photos and streets along either side we packed with people, we watched for a little while and then walked up over the hill to home.

Corban and Leo had a school trip to the Pumpkin farm, it seems to be an annual trip. In the Czech Republic everyone celebrates Harvest with pumpkins, decorations and giving food etc. It is quite a nice tradition about being thankful and giving. We have certainly had our fair share of pumpkins this year, now that we know this is the only time of year that you can get them in the Czech Republic.

We visited Karlstejn Castle about 40 minutes out of Prague for a medieval festival. There is an Australian couple who started Riverside School this year with 3 kids who came with us, Corban and Josiah have quickly become great friends. The costumes, parade and show were all very authentic! Pretty cool going to a medieval festival in an actual castle. There was yummy food, great music and heaps of people. Corban and Leo especially like holding a baby owl! Leo loved all of the knights and armour, a beautiful and interesting day out!
