We didn't make it out last night for several reasons. Firstly, Kez has come down with a bit of a sickness and she feels pretty crap, secondly Ize has blisters on his feet from all the walking we have been doing, and thirdly we did actually make the effort and go out last night but only got as far as the Tram stop because we didn't have enough change to buy tickets from the machine (you can't buy them onboard) and no where was open to change our $1000Kc notes..so..we were bit buggered there. Instead, we are making another effort tonight.
Today we went to Prague Castle. We walked down to the tram, and the shop was open to change the money for us (we finally got a bit sick of walking everywhere and broke). The castle was awesome. The outside was so detailed, with lots of pointy bits and a real gothic look and feel. The inside was even more impressive, with an insanely tall ceiling, and huge archways. The walls had these massive stained glass windows at leased 5m high. You could also go up an almost neverending spiral staircase to one of the top towers. The view was amazing as you were able to see a 360 degree view of the city.
We are now back in the same internet cafe, after Kez bought a cool amber charm on the way back from the castle. We are about to head back to the hostel for a break before we go out. Kez is under the impression she can kill her cold/flu with alcohol...its an anticeptic right??
We will be thinking of you all in Oz, NZ, and London as we chill out for our last night in Prague with a cold one/s in our hands.
Cheers
Here are some pics from today:
