Oompa-Loompa Hello!
Yes, it has been a few days since my last update but we have been out on foot exploring this beautiful city. Well worth it tho, even the dingy side streets are nice to walk down.
Weird title, yes... some guy said it to the girls on the first night we were here in Prague. We all found it pretty funny.
We spent all of Wednesday wandering around Prague. It is an extremely beautify city, even when it is cloudy or wet (like yesterday morning). Luckily the sun came out in the afternoon. We walked over a bridge, up the hill behind Prague for the view. Then we checked out St Nicholas' Cathedral and walked up to the castle. The buildings are awesome here, and at night they all get lit up like little gems.
Yesterday we spent most of the day up at Prague Castle checking out the place and spending a bit of time in St. Vitus Cathedral. Didn't do much else because it got a bit windy and really cold. Had a good look at Charles Bridge on the way to and from the castle which is nice, altho very touristy. The streets around the tourist attractions are very expensive with places charging bit trying to scam tourists with no clue about conversion rates.
On that note, money here is weird. 4 Euro buys about 100 Czech crown. Most places in town, after the conversion back to euro or AUD work out to be the same cost as home. We think it will be a lot cheaper out of the touristy areas but we haven't explored that far yet.
Today Brooke and Tash left us in the direction of Vienna while we stay a few extra nights. Tom and Jane have moved in with us instead and the others have a dorm room in the same place as us (they were on the other side of the city until today). We are heading south to a shopping centre and to check out the 'modern' side of town to do some shopping. At this stage we are leaving Sunday in the direction of Vienna or possibly Budapest. The computers here are crap (but free) and hopefully we can get some photos up at a later stage.
