Off to Prague - Tomorrow

[Wacky Racer]

Go and see where SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated in 1942.

Thanks for all of your advice, what a fantastic city!

We crammed a lot into the weekend but are definitely going back, absolutely loved it despite the bitterly cold wind.

From memory we did a 2 hour guided private tour of the old town, the new town, and the Jewish quarter.

We also did a whistle stop tour of the castle and will do a more detailed one next time.

The Charles Bridge, the Dancing House, the amazing clock with the anti-climax of watching it 'perform' on the hour

We ate our own body weight in Goulash and Pork knee, drank our own body weight in dark beer, did the Lennon wall and pub, saw the weird faceless bronze babies, went in a waxwork museum, and saw a 500 year old human arm hanging inside a church (yeah, of course it is).

Top Tip.

I had pre-booked a private Airport transfer, 18€ for the two of us from the Airport to the door of our Hotel. Black suited Chauffeur in a new S-Class Mercedes, okay so the interior was dark brown leather and made me want to throw up, but for that money I thought it best not to mention it.

Brilliant trip.

Nice write up, its funny, everyone I spoke to before I went said the food is terrible. I can honestly say I didnt have a bad meal there.

I also forgot to mention to use Uber. My airport transfer people said it is literally guaranteed that taxi drivers will try to rip you off. Uber was fantastic there. I had a drive across half the city for less then £2 and a land rover defender! It was actually so cheap that I felt guilty!

I told you to get a hat

I bloody nearly did, temperature wise it wasn't too bad, but the wind was bitingly cold.

I didn't though, I'm an idiot.

Oh and if you like Chinese tourists, you'll love Prague.

Jesus wept.

The numbers don't do justice to how cold it actually is

Good to hear you enjoyed the place - it's great, isn't it.

Me and 3 mates went for a few days last November for the Europa League and had a cracking time. It's also somewhere I'm keen to re-visit with the Mrs - she'd love it, Old Town in particular.

Kozel ? Lovely stuff - first mouthful is weird because you expect something that dark to taste very 'stoutish', but it certainly doesn't.

Really nice, and very moreish.

It did get me into a spot of bother with Mrs Adenauer though. One little tiny innocent trump (if there is still such a thing) and she thought I'd eaten a dead cat.

Tell me about it, although for us the poor old Kozel can't shoulder all the blame.

4 blokes on tour, Czech ales flowing freely, English breakfasts, goulash lunches, mandatory doners, bunking down in an apartment with 4 beds in the one room.

I've woken up in more pleasant environments, that's for sure.
