Feeling all relaxed but still full of cold we hopped on the bus again to head to Bratislava for lunch then onto Prague for 2 nights. We got to bratislava and met up with our tour guide for our little walking tour of which she kept my attention for about 10 mins before i got bored and my mind wandered, the only interesting thing I remember her showing us was this tower thing with a cannon ball stuck in the wall. We had a little time for food where we ended up goin to McDonalds, which would have been very very average had it not been for the McBox an ingenious box for 2 people, 2 fries, 2 drinks and 4 cheese burgers UK...u need to jump on this McBandwagon :p. We arrived in Prague about 5.30 and had to rush like hell to get our dinner in the hostel which we actually paid for, this was by far the worst meal ever such a huge mistake but we were sort of told there wasnt much else available as we were going for a walking tour at 7pm :(
Come 7pm we all met in reception and walked to the tram, one of the girls on our trip, while the tram was pulling in managed to get hit by the tram which cut her hand and elbow a little but just grazes thank god. We arrived at our meeting point and little did i know i was genuinely about to have the best walking tour id ever had and actualy hang on every word this man said. We met up with karel and our first stop was just round the corner and it was the john lennon wall which id never even heard of but it was pretty kewl it was basically a huge wall covered in grafitti celebrating john lennon and his fight for peace, this was just down the road from the John Lennon pub which was pretty kewl even as a not beatles fan. We then went to just outside the castle which is aparently the biggest castle in the world in terms of floor space, it certainly looked like it too on the hill we could see the mini eiffel tower all lit up, as it aas dark now and we turned and walked up the charles bridge which was just a pretty bridge to me untill there was a guy playing the glasses and not only that but playing the titanic theme tune on the which was sooo amazing especially when wed been told that 5000 extras on the film were all from Prague. We wandered on goingto the last standing theatre where mozart paid and to the square with the famous clock, which was pretty amazing considering it was like over 400 years old it had moving figures on it and stuff it also had a clock at the bottom with 365 names on for the 365 days of the year which aparently is for the 365 names that everyone in Prague aparently has and so they have a birthday and a name day genious! We then ended in another sort of square where films such as casino royal, hellboy and XXX had some part of the film, filmed there. We also found out that someone from Prague invented contact lenses in 1969 bravo! After the tour we just decided to head back to the hostel so we would be up and raring for tlmorrow and we wanted to see the city in the day and do the pub crawl on the night so off we went and crawled into bed about 10pm.
The next morning we got up had our breakfast and went into Prague to basically do the exact tour that kamal had done the day before but in the daylight, we stopped for a drink this time in the john lennon pub and went and found some giant babies in a park :/ bery very bizzare. We mooched back as we were going on our pub crawl at 7pm. At 7 we jumped on the tram again and for a long walk to the start of our pub crawl where we were given a t-shirt which i quickley ruined in my quest to make it look good we decided it was more if a pub treck as we had to walk for a while between each pub but itwas all good just dancing, laughing at everyone aka Gayle who was hammered and drinking :p myself, laurel and claire headed back to the hostel once we got to the superclub thing whixh involved us walking stupidly for ages then grabbing a taxi and off to bed we went heading to dresden and Berlin tomkrrow.
