Samizdata.net on the river Vltava
Perry de Havilland (London)  Eastern Europe

One of the reasons for slightly less output on this august blog is that two of the editors and the inimitable Gabriel Syme were off meeting other sinister Illuminati in Prague for a fine Czech beer or six.

No prize for guessing where the Illuminati meet in Prague

Prague, like Bratislava, is known for its splendours...

Hot... steamed in fact

One of the upsides of the dire weather was that many of the usually crowded tourist attractions were almost deserted.

We meet one of the leading central European bloggers, Tomas Kohl (on the right)...

Tomas sinks some fine Czech Pilsner with Adriana and Gabriel Syme

Tomas told us the best place in Prague to see its famous chicks...

More Prague chicks

Prague is a city in which the splendours of Western Civilisation pretty much kick you in the teeth...

Which perhaps explains the Czech sense of humour...

I love that sunburst eye on top of an obelisk...very sinister in an NWO sort of way...If I ever have the cash I need to get one of those for my house...maybe a few ever-flaming torch holders as well.

Christ, is that supposed to be Catherine the Great?

Stacy: Groan. It took me a while to figure that one out

That's ok, Perry, you're not as prurient as I am. :)


Posted by Sekimori at March 29, 2004 07:47 PM

Yeah, and I had to give him a nudge in the right direction, anyway. But, Sekimori, your mind moves in strange circles... :-P
