Hrqls: I don't know the reason for soldiers on the Castle, but the event on the Republic square was just because of the opening of new shopping mall there

And I am sure that I won't be the only one who would say that he is glad that you liked Prague

Milioi: its a great city! (i had a gps with me (for tracking what we walked and to set some waypoints) .. i now noticed that i cant read it with my new pc .. no serial port on it anymore .. will have to get myself a converter for usb-rs232 :)

2 questions :
- is it not possible to lock the toilet door in czech ? we couldnt in no restaurant and neither in our hotel room (the hotel room itself could be locked though of course :))

- are there coins of 50 ckr ? i got 1 as change from a restaurant .. but i wonder if its still valid as i didnt see it anywhere else .... i love having it though .. i love to have coins from places where i have been :)

Hrqls: I some restaurants is not possible to lock toilet doors:/ That is failing of restaurant, not a our national practice;))))

Yes there are 50Kč coins. They is also paper variant;) Most people dont like the coins, its quite heavy. ( ČR planing to change currenty to euro in few years, so the old paper 50Kč are not reprinted and coins are more and more often now)...
P.S.: Sory for my english

Krecik: ahoj, diky

your english is better than my czech :)

i liked the coin .. i like coins over paper anyway .. although paper is more practical for sure :)

that reminds me that i should have a look if i can find some people who get some of the new euro coins my way :)

cau ;)

Hrqls: But english is internatilonal language whereas czech is not;)

Krecik: czech should be as well!! its more beautiful than english ;)

Hrqls: YEH!:))) But it has its dark sides.

Krecik: you mean its beauties ;) .. ok ok .. there are too many way to deform a word when its used in another way ... and too many extra signs '`~^ ... but thats fun :)

hmm does anyone know a way to put a gps track & waypoints online to be viewed by other people ? i had my gps with me and want to show where i have been :)

Hrqls: Can your device export tracks and waypoints?

Krecik: yes, i have to find out which software i used for it, i downloaded some yesterday will test them this evening

Our first day in Prague, please let me know if you can see the GPS track (25-10-2007) :

Hrqls: Yes, I can see it. But I wonder where you have started at -1m altitude.

Fencer: :) my gps didnt have connection everywhere in prague (tall buildings, narrow sight to the sky)

sometimes when it has a bad connection it makes up some fake trackpoints

i removed the ones which are most clearly wrong (there were some in finland, denmark, the sea in between, greece, ..) but it seems i have to check some closer .. the 1 point of the river is wrong as well (we were on a cruise on the river then :))

(there we also some track points with an altitude of +2000 m :))

will submit the tracks from the other days as well

nice! i just noticed the altitude table on that page .. didnt know about that .. and it offers the track in kml as well .. will check that out as well :)

I uploaded the GPS tracks for the other 3 days as well

i fear i have to edit the tracks a bit and remove some track points which are corrupted .... but it gives a nice idea already :)

i will see if i can upload my waypoints as well :)

Hrqls: I guess they were preparing for the Independent Czechoslovak State Day celebration.

Fencer: the upper part of the castle was closed as well ... was that also for some preparation ? .. we climbed all the way up .. just to notice we had to enter at the bottom and so we had to walk down again ;) .. and then inside we walked upwards again :)
