Best day of the tour so far! We had a nice sleep in then a casual breaky. Jac, Kez, Janet, Jack & I then headed in to the city to hire some segways. As we were walking over the famous Charles Bridge we had a rethink and decided to try an advertised electric bike tour. On the way there Jack & Janet broke off & decided to go get tattoos, so it was just the 3 of us. We arrived and signed up, joining another 4 people plus 2 guides. We then set off to ride 18 km's around Prague seeing all the famous sites, of which the castle was definately the highlight. The bikes were so great to ride as they do all the work. You peddle but it's just the action, no effort is required. As you legs go around the bike surges forward making it the easiest way to get around. It was a very strange feeling at first but after a minute or so you realize that normal bikes will never be good enough again. We got to ride to the top of hills surrounding the city and take in spectacular views. All the while we were kept entertained and informed by our 2 guides. Lunch was included which made the experience all the better. We were sad when the 3 hours were over and the tour came to an end. After pledging to by our own electric bikes one day we moved on to a traditional Czech pub. I have been to one before but wanted to take Jac & Kez in to experience it. I had one programmed in to the GPS so we found it and sat down at a table. What makes it unique is that beer taps are on the table and an LCD screen where you can order anything you want. Over the next few hours we had poured lots of beer, ordered cocktails, shots & traditional Czech food. A few hours later we stumbled out & headed to the main square where we grabbed some desert from the market stalls, just cause we really need more food. Then we made our way back over Charles bridge and stopped at John Lennon wall to make our own mark with some messages. After some photos it was back to the tram for the journey home. We arrived about midnight which means it will be about another 6 hour sleep night. But that doesn't matter as it was definately the best day of the tour.
