I had gone to Norway knowing that I would have to repeat the long journey back to mainland Europe, but after booking my ticket to Prague, they rang me back to tell me that I could only go to Berlin. As I had decided to try and meet the girls in Prague and didn’t really fancy extending the bus journey by another 15 hours, I decided the best thing to do was to take a flight to Prague.
Although it is very much not in my budget, the comparatively short trip to Prague was truly appreciated, and I also got to stock up on snap lock plastic bags at the airport that are meant to be for your liquids...they are so handy and I haven’t been able to find them anywhere.
Outside Prague airport, the weather gave me a shock, it was colder than Norway. This was not part of the plan, but it must have been a one off as the rest of our days were full of sunshine and more sunburn.
The beauty (one of only a few) of catching the bus is that you do arrive quite close to the centre of each city, unlike airports. So after nearly 2 hours I found the hostel we were staying at in the middle of the Old Town of Prague.
After wandering around town for a while I settled on a restaurant to eat at. Prague is fairly cheap and as I had blown the budget with the flight there I thought I may as well go all out. So I sat and had salad and wine and read my book.
There are some places that just grab you, and although I had just arrived and hadn’t really seen too much but I had the feeling I was really going to like Prague.
