First Days

On Saturday January 29th, 2005, after spending the morning on Woonona beach (35 deg C) we hopped on the plane bound for Prague.

Sydney, Singapore, Heathrow & finally 24 hours later flew in over snow covered Czech farms, iced over streams (with kids skating) & Praha International airport on Sunday 30th, 2005 @11am - minus 6 deg C !!!

McKinsey limo whisked us away to our first temporary apartment on Vinohradska street, Vinohrady, Prague 2. Two bedroom modern top floor apartment with all the mod cons including lift & bidet.

The girls lasted to about 1pm and went to bed. I did some local investigation of local supermarkets, managed to extract some money from the bankomats & headed for the large shopping plaza, Palac Flora (like Penrith Plaza). Bought some basics for breakfast & headed home for a solid nights sleep.

Monday, 31st January - awoke @5am blaring with Czech TV as Nikita had been awake since midnight & was getting lonely :-) After breakfast we all headed off to work to pick up mobiles, security cards & for me to get ready for the new recruits to arive on Feb 1st.
