| The streets of Prague are beautiful day and night! |
16.01.2012 – Monday, day 28
OK, so I was feeling a little bit fragile still this morning but I think I have finally found the cure! Minus temperatures! Yep, as soon as I was outside in -1°C weather the sickness was replaced with coldness.
Despite being a wee bit chilly, we had a great day. We walked around Prague city with our tour guide “George” who was excellent (a university history professor so he knew his stuff!). We went up to Prague Castle and watched the changing of the guards, saw a few Cathedrals, the Old Town, the New Town, Charles Bridge etc etc. We had a delicious lunch at a medieval underground pub, and then later in the afternoon we went on a gorgeous wooden boat along the river with a hot coffee and some chocolate cake! Just what the doctor ordered after spending 4 hours outside covered in snow flakes and freezing our bits off.
After the tour, we took our time and walked around the street market and stopped into a few souvenir shops every now and then to warm up. I also bought a ridiculous looking beanie with a massive pom-pom on top because it seems to be the ‘in thing’ here. Might look funny but I will be warm for the next 4 days.. after that I don’t think I will require it’s uses since Adelaide is in a sweltering heat wave right now. Ha. (I am looking forward to coming home to it though).
We are off to Berlin tomorrow, another 4-5 hour train ride. We are desperately in need of a laundry service at our next hotel because every time you go into a pub or a restaurant here you come out stinking like cigarette smoke. Hopefully the Hilton Hotel will pull through for us.
Farewell Prague…
