My Birthday in Prague

The day dawned with beautiful blue skys and presents and a card from Colett.
We set off to explore the Hradcany area of the city and the palace.

The views across the city were great but it was very busy around the palace and cathedral

the hill up to the palace was a little steep Colette made a friend on the way up the hill.

we explored around the castle a little and wandered around the outside of St Vitus's Cathedral.
We the set off down the hill for a sit down in Old Town Square. The stalls of the easter market filled the square and they even have an easter tree and all the stalls are trimmed with flowers and ribbons.

we then wandered back to the hotel for a rest, our feet were aching!


In the evening we went out for a meal and then explored a few bars. The last bar wasn't quite the typical Prague bar,it was in a cellar with loud rock music, in Prague you usually sit down at a table and someone comes to take your order. After watching for a while we realised that you had to go to the bar, it was my round so I went to the bar and ordered two beers a was a little bemused and Colett was most amused when I was served with two half liters and one slightly smaller beer. She wasn't quite so amused when the same thing happened when she tried to order two beers a little later in the evening.
