Joanne Posted March 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 I have decided not to wait for the hostel I was looking at as they weren't taking bookings until June. Don't want to wait until then when 1 Polish supporter could come along and book the whole hostel Can anyone recommend anywhere easy enough for me to get to from the airport and to the track. Somewhere near a tram or metro stop would be handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Can anyone recommend anywhere easy enough for me to get to from the airport and to the track. Somewhere near a tram or metro stop would be handy. Anywhere in the city centre will do to be honest. You can get a taxi from the airport and there are tram/metro stops all over the place. I think tram number 22 was the one that goes to the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the green and red lines cross at muzeum you can walk up the road to the right of the museum, as you look at it. Just a few minutes walk on the left hand side is the tram stop. On the map this is S.E. of the muzeum stop, assuming the top of the page is north. The track is off the map to the West. Everything worth seeing is between that muzeum stop heading down to mustek and staromestska, by the river, and accross charles bridge up to Prague castle. The old town square is nice at night. Everyone just sits around on the floor, or whatever, with the drink of their choice. Hope this is a bit more informative. http://www.dp-praha.cz/defaultx_e.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Sorry forgot to say on that link just hit blue link to map of public transport etc. Also for anyone who hasn't been to Prague they do random checks on your tickets so make sure you have one. Various passes are available. I think there is 1, 3, and 7 day passes and they are very cheap. You can use them as many times as you like and are valid on all public transport in the city. Validate it by stamping it in the machine, you'll see them at the metro stops, the first time you use it. It is then valid for however many days from that time.

Joanne Posted March 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Thanks. Might be getting closer to finding a hotel. There's a bit more choice than Cardiff. Looks like I've found one on Wenseles Square. This must be near where you are talking about. Might be able to follow red and white painted faces from there. I'm confused, I thought it was tram line 18 to the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Sorry I'm probably not helping. Which line depends where you're going from. From where I stayed last year, at the top of Wenseles square behind the museum, I used tram 22. On the map I gave you the link for Wenselas square runs from Muzeum to Mustek but obviously not underground . Oh and just to confuse you even more it isn't a square :roll: Clear as mud :!: :!: :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and just to confuse you even more it isn't a square :roll: Clear as mud :!: :!: :!: Did you go to Hradcanska and then get on the 18? Is it just a long street then if it isn't a square? Ah, well I suppose it's just a different place for me to get lost. I got well lost in Sydney (a few times ), even got lost coming back from Rye House the other night when I tried to be smart :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 And I thought my sense of direction was a bit off :!: I caught the 22. It's a long street with shops either side, lined with trees. Thinking about it, and trying to activate my failing memory, I think I caught th 18 back and it dropped me nowhere near my apartment. I had to walk about half hour. Didn't mater though cause it's such a nice city I could wander round all night. Just follow the crowds. Whether you're looking around tourist areas or going to the speedway you'll find plenty of others doing exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21st century heathen Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Sorry. I've been waiting for friends to sort themselves out, but it looks like it's not going to happen. :-( If you want to know anything before you go though I'll be happy to try to help.

I'm going on my own and I can do what I want with no kids nagging at me. Can't imagine them going around museums etc. Have you thought about going alone?

I'm going on my own and I can do what I want with no kids nagging at me. Can't imagine them going around museums etc. Have you thought about going alone? Worth considering I suppose. I have a very bad habbit of becoming sullen and introspective when I'm on my own too long. Maybe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted March 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Thanks Discoll. I'll have a good look at that before I go so I know where the best places are. 21st Century Heathen It's not really nice going on your own but you get used to it. You can even talk to yourself if you want to But I'd rather be there than sitting in the living room getting nagged at about the race to the first corner. And you see all the race instead of just the leader which they do on the TV. You can also shout your head off at the speedway as the person next to you don't know you. Its the start of the season. I'm sure by September you will get to know some forum members and there seems to be loads going. What tracks do you go to normally? The nearest track to your area of country that I go to is Coventry. Go for it, 21st Century Heathen. If all else fails you can always come and talk to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 . If all else fails you can always come and talk to me.Look you two, it's no good I'm going to have to step in here!21st CH....Joanne is a happily married mother of two teenagers who are not Speedway fans and neither is her husband. Joanne...he sounds a great guy. I mean anyone who goes to Wolverhampton every week just to support the visiting team has got to be okay. She's going on her own, you're reluctant to go on your own so can't the two of you get together (in the nicest possible way) just for this meeting? I've met Joanne several times and she is very nice and definitely won't bite. I just think she has got tremendous guts going to these meetings on her own, although Pawprint is always available of course if she wants to do a spot of smuggling again.

Thanks for putting up for me Gemini but it looks like 21st CH has ran off. My boss called me a 'little Jack Russell' the other day so maybe I will bite ;-) By the way Gemini, Rebecca isn't 13 yet although she might as well be (she is bigger than me ). Pawprint is very welcome to come with me Also I've just had an order form for tickets for the Prague GP. For anyone who is interested I will email them a copy if they want one.
