Prague

After a sad farewell to Kel at Madrid airport we boarded our Wizz flight to Prague. Because we spoke English they gave us the exit row seats, so that was a bonus.

We are staying at the Louis Leger Hotel. If the mosaic in the foyer is correct it was built in 1885 and it has an old world feel about it.

The first night we did the obligatory wander and found a place to eat. We had a mountain of food and a couple of beers for the equivalent of AU$35. People smoke everywhere here, so it was strange to be sitting down having dinner and people lighting up all around us. Not pleasant!

The next morning we woke up to a thunder storm! When the rain stopped we found the laundromat and did our washing. Clean clothes were starting to be an issue, so a couple of hours out of our day well spent :-)

Next we went on the hunt for the Segway tour. It was near the Charles Bridge, so a couple of Metro stops and we were there. We booked the tour for the next day and then headed for the Castle. The next downpour started, so we took refuge and had a coffee until it eased. The castle was amazing - apparently the largest gothic castle in the world. Even though it was raining, it was still warm so we just kept going. I had an umbrella, so it wasn't too bad for me. :-).

We continued on to the Charles Bridge and then all around the Old Town. We ended up at a nice hotel opposite the theatre and spent a couple of hours people watching. It was fascinating and we had fun making up stories about people. We caught the Metro home and stopped for a night cap at the Legends Bar down the road from our hotel.






The next morning we got up and went back to the Charles Bridge for our Segway tour. Our guide, Renee was from Brazil and was a real character. We spent three hours hooning around the city, and as usual it was over way too fast. Renee was extremely knowledgeable and it's a great way to get to see a place.






Some more wandering and then home to relax before heading out for our last night. During our travels we kept seeing a poster advertising Hooters - of course that put the idea of going there in Luke's head and when he found out it was walking distance from our hotel it was a done deal! Our hostess was Petra and she was lovely.

After dinner it was time to head back to the hotel to pack. The next morning we were heading to Berlin by train.

Goodbye Prague. You are a fascinating and beautiful city.
