Thursday 10th August
So Prague is amazing and we are having a fabulous time here,
First day we visited St Wenceslas square (yes from the christmas carol) he is the patron st of prague it is a huge square in the city centre we also took in the Astronomical Clock which is amazing I have photos that I will upload as soon as I can.
Yesterday we went to Prague Castle where we visited St Vidus Cathedral, St Georges Baslilca, stood infront of the Golden Gates (I know think I was probably judged to go to hell) we climbed the Tower in St Vidus Cathedral that was interesting almost had a heart attack it is 300 steps directly up in small winding stairwell but we made it so all is good, view was amazing so worth it, legs are a bit sore today though!!!
Last night we went on a river dinner cruise along the Danube and saw Prague by night this was excellent we had a slight problem getting there though as we were pulled up by ticket officer getting onto the subway and as we were not told to validate our tickets he told us we had to pay a fine of approx 80 dollars we argued a bit asking if we could just go back up and validate them he got all nasty and would not allow this and almost called the police so we just payed him figured it was the easy way out in the long run.......all is well that ends well I suppose.
Amazing how many people here are out and about at night last night coming back to the hotel at 11pm the main square was packed with people a bit different than home on a wednesday night!!!!
Today we are off to walk across Charles Bridge and do some Crystal shopping and then tomorrow we move onto Budapest so I will post again from there probably Hope all is well at home and you are all being good.....Gary the beer here is fantastic you would be in heaven.....the glasses are massive.
