Prague trip

Met up with Naomi and her hubby at Prague last weekend (Sat to Tue). As usual, we booked the cheap flight flying out of London Stansted and woke up at 2.30am on Sat (might as well don't sleep).

Arrived in Prague at about 9++am and realised that the checked-in rucksack was damaged!!! 3 torn and the back system metal was bent! Filed a damaged report and had faxed over all documentations yesterday (Friday) to Easyjet for claim, now just hope to get some compensation.

First day, waited for Naomi & hubby to arrive and catch up on shopping and chatting. So long never met her and I felt so bad that I didn't go back for her wedding :(

So where did we go??
Astronomical Clock
Nothing much, but still got to see cos it's a tourist attraction

Due to World Cup, there a big screen mount at the Market Square. Luckily, we didn't book any hotel near there.

Charles Bridge

Too hot, it was more that 30 degree cel and we were 'melting'.

Prague Castle
guard
He's not hot despite the hot weather??? Impressive.

It's walking up slope to the Prague Castle but it was worth it because of the spectacular view of Prague city.
Nice view hor.

Petrin Hill
Thought of taking the Funicular railway up to the Hill but the railway was under maintenance service so got to climb up!!!

The tower is a fifth the size of Effel tower and we still got to climb 299 steps up, it's all about climbing in Prague. Go to Prague when you are young, if not you miss out alot!!

Food
Food and beers are cheaper in Prague than in UK, a pint of beer is about 35 Czeh which is less than 1 pound. For food, most of them are too salty for our taste, seems like salt are free to them.
Sam with his food
On our last night, we had dinner at Blatnicka and the food was great and cheap. Sam loves the Pork knuckle there, highly recommended but you got to wait at hour for them to cook it. He can't wait to eat it.
