Prague

As we only have had 2 days in Prague we have mainly just walked around the city and wandering through their many many streets and ally ways. We have been on 2 walking tours here as the city is kind of divided on either side of the river. On the left bank is the Prague Castle which is bloody huge! Our guide was a bit boring though, as he had lots of knowledge about architecture and the centuries in which the buildings were built but far out he did not know how to deliver them! I swear Liz was snoring behind her sunglasses! But it was a great view when you got to the castle as it is on the top of a huge hill. The right bank is the Old Town and this is where all the shops, restaurants and gothic buildings are. On this tour we learnt about the buildings (again) and about the history of the city after WWII, mostly about the communist regime which was run by the Soviet Union and how the Czech's over threw them in 1993...interesting stuff actually.

One afternoon we stumbled on the 5th International Folklore Festival where many different countries where in their traditional dress and performing traditional dances. It was brilliant! We had such a lovely afternoon/evening sitting in the sun, drinking cocktails and being entertained! We saw some Polish dancers so we took lots of photos of them for the Jucha's! and New Zealand had some representatives which was great to watch.

Had some pork, dumplings and saurkraut with some local beer so I think we have seen everything there is to see here. Lovely place.
