What's in a Prague street name

We can keep this nice and simple: an ‘ostrov’ is an island, and this street leads towards the one I wrote about yesterday: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/09/13/prague-1-day-95-slovansky-ostrov-slavonic-island/

I’m quite glad this one is brief, because I’m currently on the larger of the two britských ostrovů, where we celebrate Christmas a day later than the Czechs.

If you fancy a quick quiz later, consider asking your relatives how you say Kanárské ostrovy, Panenské ostrovy and Velikonoční ostrov in English. Bis morgen!
