Prague - 6th to 9th August

Prague in all its fame and status lived up to expectations, although the city was pretty filthy it had some great architecture and of course history.

The hostel we stayed at had every tour company possible, Contiki, Topdeck and of course Busabout, staying there so this meant it was a pretty happening place with a huge bar and also an indoor pool. Prague has an old Palace, which most cities have of course. It was a bit of a let down compared to most palaces, however it still did have its good points with a large church and old cobblestone roads. The bridge to access the palace is called the Charles Bridge. This is a tourist nightmare with heaps of people everywhere (hold on to your bags and pockets), however the bridge did have some really old sculptures which caught our eye. Dee bought some drawings in the main market square and James food of course. The afternoon was spent in the beer garden enjoying the fine Czech beer.. or not as it was Budvar (Budweiser) beer which tastes different to the normal one.

To see a bit more of the city we did an audio bus tour through the Jewish ghetto, the Palace and the city square and also found a nice irish pub to watch the opening ceremony of the olympics in the afternoon.

Next stop Cesky Krumlov, a small little town....
