Prague Castle is a must see! It's very easy to spend half a day there because there's so much to see. It's where the President lives today. Enterin…

It's hard to give this place ratings...because it has to be something you want to do! Surely camping in the desert in tents is not super clean...but …

So, while touring the Scottish Highlands, one of our guides made mention of the legendary food, Haggis. Now, I knew what it was...sheep stomach stuff…
