Prague, Czech Republic
8:47 PM
G'day
This weekend I flew to Prague in the Czech Republic. Unlike last weekend when I travelled with 3 yanks, this weekend I headed out by myself. I arrived Friday night and after checking in and grabbing a quick bite, I headed out to take some photos of the city and try and orientate myself. I was told to check out Charles Bridge and the nearby nightclub. Well, I found the bridge and club but figured the club could wait til Saturday night.
Saturday I walked around a bit more, then took a city tour which pretty much covered most of the afternoon. We visited lots of Prague, which apparently used to be four different towns (each with their own town halls) before it became the Prague of today. Lots of Prague has also been rebuilt after being destroyed/upgraded by various rulers, fires and in the World Wars. What was obvious is the amazing churches, monunments and castles. There are spires littering the city skyline and the whole city is overshadowed by the castle and massive church. Can't remember the name of the castle off hand, i'll have to google it sometime.
Saturday night I went to Karlovy Lazne, which is the biggest music club in middle europe. It's five stories high and each floor has a different genre of music playing. I grabbed a couple of Corona's then went about busting up the floor with a couple of girls (sisters, in fact) from Italy. Needless to say it was a late night as I crawled into bed somewhere around 3:30am.
Sunday I obviously slept in a bit, checked out, then headed out on foot again around the city for some last minute photos and some shopping. Bought myself a picture of Prague which I plan to put on the wall of my House when I'm next living there! (It's been rented out now). Went to the airport early to meet a friend's sister for coffee who also happened to be in Prague that weekend and had coffee before heading back to Stuttgart in the evening.
Well, that's news as it happens over here.
Hope you are all well
Ciao!
