Subject: Czech Republic
We took a local coach from Prague to Ceske Budejovice - home of the original budweiser. The coach ticket was incredibly cheap and a great way to see the countryside.

There's a brewery that you can take a tour of http://www.budvar.cz/oldsite/english/index.html We didn't have the time to do this though.

Found an interesting cafe in the park underneath the bandstand. It was a few years ago now so I can't remember the name but it was near the centre.
