Default Re: want to back to italy, then/or maybe prague, other places in europ

I was in Krakow and Prague last summer, and here is a brief trip report....(warning...%ages exaggerated for effect)....80% of the people in Prague were American tourists. I was there in 98/99 also and it was more like 25%. Krakow05 was about 10% American tourists, so it's not quite yet the "new Prague," but it's on its way.

Three random points.....
1. I agree with edtost that Ljubljana is great.
2. I dig the small little towns along the way, like Cesky Krumlov, Cesky Budejovice (only for the brewery....no other redeeming value), Opole, Bratislava (bigger than a small town, but holy cow we had a huuuge sausage and beer fest for about $7 per person), ....
3. Even though Prague is quickly learning the art of "capitalism", U Medvidku (I don't care if some people label it a tourist trap) has some 'wedding feast' meal thing with tons of food and a cheap price tag.
