The views up there are breathtaking.Circuit Rider CZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152181758994431225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319986134869180964.post-58526320296550197202010-03-24T09:23:03.668+01:002010-03-24T09:23:03.668+01:00Be sure to have a walk through the northern suburb...Be sure to have a walk through the northern suburbs where there are villas galore.

The same company owns the local brewery (Svijany) so the adjoining pub is worth a few hours of your time.<br /><br />There are a couple of hotels in the centre of Jablonec but my memory doesn't stretch as far back as remembering names.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645029568785897293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319986134869180964.post-10189738572880401902010-03-22T20:49:01.913+01:002010-03-22T20:49:01.913+01:00If I could stay anywhere in Liberec, it would be o...If I could stay anywhere in Liberec, it would be on top of Jested. The University Hotel wins out on price, though. The beds are hard but there are advantages to drinking copious amounts of alcohol late at night.<br /><br />I always did feel Liberec had a slightly unique feel too. Even compared to other comparably sized university cities like Hradec Kralove and Olomouc. But then I am biased.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645029568785897293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319986134869180964.post-64584136602558289332010-03-22T17:35:27.020+01:002010-03-22T17:35:27.020+01:00Thanks for the help and link!

It is odd that Bohemians Praha waited 10 months to report the alleged corruption. Perhaps it is a desperate attempt to avoid relegation? If they can get Sigma kicked out, it is beneficial to them. The owner of Bohemians Praha also claims he owns the 'real' Bohemians and not the club of similar name - Bohemians Praha 1905. This will be a mess, but corruption isn't something new to Czech football... sadly. <br /><br />Back on topic to Liberec... heh :)jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752612538576909356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319986134869180964.post-49591943500799472392010-03-22T16:15:22.336+01:002010-03-22T16:15:22.336+01:00The Liberec University Hotel is cheap and central ...The <a href="http://www.outsideprague.com/liberec/liberec_uni_hotel.html" rel="nofollow"><b>Liberec University Hotel</b></a> is cheap and central but has some of the hardest beds I've ever slept on.

A very useful post, thanks :-)<br /><br />I'm heading to Jablonec over the easter weekend. Do you have any accommodation suggestions in Jablonec or Liberec?jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752612538576909356noreply@blogger.com
