Day Two in Prague

May 6th, 2008

Yesterday was our second day in Prague and what a great day it was!

Prague is probably the most beautiful city I have ever visited. It is such a colourful and vibrant city covered in so much history. So far we have only managed to visit the Little Quarter, the castle area and some parts of the Old Quarter.

We have some amazing photos, however we aren’t allowed to upload them in the internet cafe so you will have to wait until we return.

Yesterday evening was really good fun. We managed to get cheep tickets to an excellent concert at the Academy of Music, which we followed with a traditional dinner. The restaurant was by river side and was reccomended to us by someone who visits Prague regularly and it didn’t fail to deliver. Roo and I both had a traditional plate of beef, dumplings, cranberries and cream sauce, yum!

One think I have noticed is that there is huge difference in the price depending on where you go to eat or drink. We made the mistake yesterday of sitting down and ordering a coffee without viewing the price list first, and got a surprise when the bill was nearly 6 pounds. Also, on the night we arrived we went to a local bar and I was shocked to find beer was about 2 pounds for a quarter litre of beer. At first I assumed beer was expensive and only served in halves like other parts of Europe, however when we went to a ‘locals’ bar the same night, we were getting half litres of beer for just over a pound.

    Yes you have to watch were you eat and drink - the tourist areas are a bit of a rip off. But you can walk 100 metres and find a good Czech place usually.

    I have a new site on Prague - still adding content, would love a plug if you think it is good enough.

    Enjoy.
