prague, czech republic



Well Prague did grow on us like everyone said it would, but we still reckon it is too touristy :) The walking tour of the city was great (thanks Mum ;) and knowing the history of the buildings etc made us appreciate it all more. Did a ghost tour one night as well which was pretty funny! Was just Vera, me, a Welsh mum and daughter (tho the daughter was my age lol) and the guy who did the tour, who was dressed in a long black cloak and carrying an old fashioned flame torch (well like the ones you get in bunnings to go in your garden lol). We had various "ghosts" jumping out at us from around corners as we went which was hilarious as we all screamed. Funnily enough the older Welsh lady and i both confessed afterwards we spent the whole time paranoid he was going to set his cloak on fire with his torch! Must be a Mum thing :P

Also my advice for anyone else coming here is to not attempt to cook dumplings bought from the supermarket when all the instructions are in Czech ... lets just say that having cheese and crackers as a fallback dinner plan is always a good move ;)
