First stop...Prague!

We had rather a good May, with two holidays! First, a weekend in Prague! We travelled Friday night, finally arriving at the hostel around 2am Saturday morning and proceeded to pack as much into the weekend as we could!

 Prague has a lot more to do than I expected, as well as being far prettier and more picturesque than either of us had anticipated. I suppose we were stuck in Prague's past and expecting a very communist/eastern bloc type city. Prague is actually a beautiful city to walk around, and I would gladly go back just to spend more time taking in the scenery.

Apart from the usual castles and good views, we also visited the Staropramen brewery (cheesy but fun!) and a KGB museum complete with guided tour from a very nice man with a very strong Russian accent!

We also visited the Museum of Communism, where Jimmy met Stalin, as well as walking up a lot of steps to Prague's huge castle, including the beautiful St Vitus's Cathedral - home to some of the most spectacular stained glass windows I have ever seen.

A real highlight for me was getting to visit the Mucha museum and see some of the work of one of my favourite artists up close.
