My film “Gondola With the Wind” can be seen on the web if you have a high speed internet connection. The movie begins in Italy with Rome, Pisa, Florence, and Venice. It then features Vienna (Austria), glorious Prague (Czech Republic), Poland (including Warsaw & Auschwitz), Ukraine, and Budapest (Hungary).

This is a free, non-commercial, streaming video on the Windows Media Player. No ads and no strings attached. I still sell nothing.

I have been at the Royal Apartment in Prague for 5 days and could not have been more pleased.. If you are headed to Prague this is the best place to stay!!

I’ve been a nut for castles since I was small. Prague’s Prague Castle and its 9th century genesis shows on its face and architecture and easily can be seen as a fantasy castle. The last time a renovation took place on that castle edifice was in the 18th century and since then, the looks haven’t changed much since then. It was the center of power for centuries and home to the spiritual role and rule of the Czech Republic for as many centuries. It saw kings like Charles IV and King Vladislav Jagiello and hasn’t had them since the 16th century.
