Post by: Paulie_D on August 19, 2013, 15:17:50 PM: Reserved Akcent Hotel in Prague for 5 days just in case.

Not many left on Booking.com so getting in early (with free cancellation) might be best.

I"d better get writing the Travel Tips.

Post by: Hammerite on August 19, 2013, 16:54:16 PM: ok that"s worked out well, looks like my hotel is about 500-600 metres away allowing for the twists and turns on google maps it"s here www.redandbluehotels.com/ I got in early but currently 72 euros per night for a double room.

Not nicking your job Paulie, just trying to be helpful ;)

The Andels hotel is NOT the venue....just the "official" hotel.

The Casino is actually the ground floor (I think) of the Akcent Hotel.

Hmmm after the horror stories of Prague in December and snow the thought of a 700 meter journey in artic conditions didn"t appeal to Emma and myself..

Surely the lorry would have made it!?
