Prague, always wanted to go there.

Only ever heard good stuff about it.

Theres only one reason you want to go to Prague Cali - Absinthe

Wasnt the film HOSTEL filmed in a village outside Prague.. so is that why you wanna go ?

I want to go to see the architecture.

Heard they have some nice beer there aswell

Hostel(film)- 95% of the film was shot on location in and around Prague, and the stage was only used for the main torture rooms.

Yes, the beer is great, if you like a real lager. There's only 1 brewery in Prague; that's the Staropramen one. I suspect it's that brewery which is producing the Tesco own brand Vratislav, which is a beer I like a lot. Comes in 1/2 litre bottles at about 89p which makes it great value for a 5% beer.
(Oh yes, the architecture is great too).

Don't know if there's any flights from Liverpool to Prague, but there's plenty from Manchester

easyJet dont fly there from Liverpool. They have the biggest destination list there, but one of the smaller ones may?

Staropramen

what a beer, love it. where sells it on the wirral, anywhere, only had in liverpool.

I would love to go and have a peek around the museum.

Maybe we could arrange a day with a few members to go and have a nose round the museum.

Id be up for that. We could make a day of it, go the priory and the transport museam at the same time?

I wonder if the tram tours are still going?

the tram tours still run couple of days a week and of weekends,they run to woodside from the transport museum.

Do they still include the visit to the priory, the visit to the grasshoper (or whatever its called) and the visit to the transport museam?

Do you have any idea on cost?

I went on one years ago and it was excellent, I was probably only about 10 or something at the time, really enjoyed it though.

wirral archieve service is free of charge though you have to pay small amounts to use the microfilm service and the net.it is also best to contact them to book and to let them know briefly what you are researching as some records are held in storage and may take a short time to get to the office...

I'd come up for a day's exploring, including the Museum, the trams, (which run weekends, 12-4pm.) & the Priory. I don't think that Shore Rd. pumping station is open at present.

The tram is about £1-80 return; everything else is free.
