On Wednesday we travelled from Austria to Czech Republic firstly stopping for lunch in the small town of Cesky Kromlov. Before lunch we visited the palace and it's two guards which were live bears. We then had lunch in a cute little tavern, I had beef sirloin with traditional potato dumplings that soaked up the yummy sauce that covered the plate.
After a couple of hours in the beautiful town of Cesky Kromlov, we headed for Prague. After a dinner at the hostel, our tour manager took us on a walking tour through the centre of Prague and old town. On the tour we saw St Vitus cathedral, many interesting statues that supposedly give you luck depending on where you touch them and also fantastic views of the city.
We finished the tour in Pragues main square where we had a trdelnik which is a donut filled with chocolate sauce and icecream. We then headed to a club called Coyote for some drinks before going to a larger night club called golden tree which was underground and seemed like a big rabbit run. The club was really cool and most of us got back to the hostel as the sun was rising.
On Thursday morning we had a sleep in before heading back into the town for a free day of exploring. We wandered through some markets before making our way to a tattoo parlour where about 10 of the girls on tour got tattoos to remember their trip by (not me don't worry mum).
At this stage I wasn't feeling too well and decided to go back to the hostel to rest. The other girls had a look at the john Lennon wall and got some lunch before coming back to the hostel and then going out for dinner and another night out.
On Friday we said farewell to Czech Republic and travelled to Germany!
