CZECH REPUBLIC

First stop on my trip of Eastern Europe with Sarah and Sam was the beautiful city of
Prague.


Sarah and Sam found an
excellent hostel right next to the river and the old town and only 5min walk from Charles Bridge. It was in a beautiful old building, we had a large room to our selves and hardly ever saw any of the other guests so it was like we had a big apartment to our selves, and so cheap.

The
view from our apartment balcony......


For our first night in Prague we visited 4 pubs that all produce there own beer, Sam was in heaven!
We also had our first
opportunity to try
Czech food, which I found had
similarities to German
cuisine, the food was mainly based on meat, bread or potato dumplings and
cabbage...very heavy food!

Sarah decided to try the Plum Brandy...."Having trouble
swallowing Sarah?"


The
Old Town Square(
Staromestske Namesti) is one of the two main squares in the city center. If you are feeling romantic you can take a horse and
carriage ride through
Prague.

Early morning in Prague.

Charles Bridge.







The long climb up the stairs to the
Hradcany Castle.

St. Vitus Cathedral inside Prague
Castle.

















Prague has a fantastic under ground train system, which made it very easy to get around.
This is one of the retro walls on one of the platforms, very
SiFi!
