... and get some food and turn back. Now I felt bad because I havnt really indulged in the local cuisine as much as I should have - the problem being it is usually very expensive. But I thought hell. I am on holidays, lets go nuts! Well… beef with egg and mint sauce tastes about as good as it sounds. But 300 crowns, about $40, I thought I best eat it. I think, as terrible as it sounds, I will stick to cheap as hell McDonalds for most of my meals… don’t worry, I am ...

... toured the library and went to the best view in the city. It is on the hillside overlooking the castle, the river and Prague. We took the required pictures and I thought I was going to fall asleep standing on my feet. We were going to eat but when I looked at the correct dial on my watch I saw it was only 12:30 pm. Drat. We weren't hungry and there was no way we would stay awake until dinner ...

Well Dave has just found out that a friend of his in Japan who he taught with is currently in Thailand on holiday. I told Dave it would be good for him to try and catch up as they had not seen each other since Dave returned from Japan about a year ago. A lot of emails, phonecalls and SMS's later and we finally have a decision. Dave will go from Prague ...

... Clock. After that we went to a club called the Beer Factory where each table has its own beer taps in the middle and you pour your own beers, there is a meter and you pay by the litre. It was different and lots of fun. The next day we had a guided walking tour which started at Prague Castle. We walked around the grounds & saw the huge buildings, St Vitus Cathedral and the changing of the guard at 10am. We then headed downhill to Mala' Strana (Little Quarter) and St Nicholas ...

... Holocaust itself. At the Spanish Synagogue around the corner they were advertising a classical recital for that evening, and, having looked around its beautiful interior, I decided it would be a superb venue and would probably come back for the concert later. Back at the hostel, I was disappointed to find that there were no new people in my dorm, nor was there any social interaction down in the Wi-Fi lounge. It was a well-kept and elegant ...

... up later that evening again for a pub crawl, seeing as it was her birthday. As a stewardess she gets a number of free international flights, so she decided that Prague for a few days would be where she'd spend her birthday. And I figured that a pub crawl would be a good evening out. Of course, we never made it. To make a long story short, we missed the crawl, picked up another Canadian guy named Josie from her ...

... almost a fairy tale land that never sleeps. Being Easter week it was very crowded with tourists, although this really was the only down fall. The Charles Bridge is probably the central point of the city, lined with statues and amazing views of Prague along the water. The city is divided on either side of the Vitava River: Prague castle being on the hillside and the Town Square and Jewish quarter on the flat side. I told Joyce it reminded me of Disney world. Epcot being on ...

... 2 eran pubs, claro que tambien es cierto que en esta zona nacio la cerveza Budweisser original(no la gringa) asi que es parte de la "ruta de la cerveza". Otra cosa que llama la atencion de por aqui, es cuanto aman todo lo hecho en Italia, lo mas preciado en todos los castillos son cosas italianas, las sillas, mesas, pinturas, lo que sea italiano, con Jessica nos quejamos de que queremos ver algo checo no italiano, supongo que es lo mismo que le pasa a los ...

... to the main hall. Lowlights: -Missing the times that beer cost 17p a pint in Prague. The cheapest we could find was just under a pound. -Arriving in Prague to find most hostels were fully booked, hence staying in two different places. Narrative and pictures to followwww

... Prague right on time and Jody and I disembarked. We looked around for Nadeem and Michelle, but to no avail. We finally decided they must have fallen asleep and missed the train. We were incorrect. As the train started to pull away...we finally realized the problem. Note to future travelers: there are TWO train stations in Prague. We headed for cab, hoping that Michelle and Nadeem would somehow figure out what happened and meet us at the hotel. We kept making fun of ourselves for ...
