All about Prague
Well, this post has been a long ime coming, mostly because the free internet in the hostel was crap and always in demand.
Since the last post, Tom and Jane moved into our apartment for the extra 2 nights we decided to stay in Prague. After a bit of furniture rearranging (moving 2 beds into the kitchen so they could have a private room) we set out exploring again. We headed to a shopping centre out of town for a bit so we could do a bit of cheaper shopping (Prague city is expensive - especially around the tourist areas). That night we went to a "Black light theater" which is a performance where the stage is black and everything is fluroecence colours. After thatwe headed out to "Europe's Biggest Nightclub near Charles Bridge in Prague. 6 Floors or bars and dance floors. Unfortunately when we arrived it was still early by Czech standards - about 11pm - and it was still empty. After an hour or 2 people started pouring in... along with the smoke. Makes me glad Brisbane is smoke free now. Jeni and I left about 1am and headed back.
On Saturday we made up for lost time and headed out to see the rest of the sights in the city. We saw old town with all the towers and churches, the Mucha painting exhibition, the Communisim Museum and all sorts of other sights and buildings. That night we experimented with night photography along the river and explored the pub next door, that looked like it was about 5 meters deep, but actually extended 2 floors underground in small caverns. Couldn't stay too long - again cause of all the smoke.
One thing I didn't mention before was that we found this cool Pub/bar on the first night where you can pour your own beer on the tables. It was expensive, especially compared to the other places we went on Czech, but the atmosphere was great, and the concept was very cool. There was even a screen that showed how much every table had drunk. Whilst ours managed only 1.6L of beer (the girls has cocktails), another table was up to 21L!
The parentals would be pleased to hear that we are actually managing to cook most nights with the limited kitchen facilities. First night in Berlin Jeni and I cooked Spaghetti Bolognese, and in Prague we had pork and cous-cous one night, cous-cous and Indian curry the next and sausages and hand-made chips on the last night.
I have been able to upload some more photos now, which you can see here. These are of Prague, mostly the first few days.
