Prague

August 23rd

Hello!

It's been about a week since I left Prague and I thought I'd just let you know about where I've been what I've done and what I thought about it. Nothing big. So on Monday the 13th of August I woke up pretty early to get some breakfast in town, get a vaccination shot, do some shopping and exchange money. Later I went home to get packing and make the guest room ready for Decci, for when she later came by at 18. 

On Tuesday, the 14th of August, we had breakfast from Espresso House on the train to Gothenburg. From GBG we took a bus to Landvetter where we had Max. 

When we got to Prague we took public transport all the way from the airport to the hotel where we had booked our stay. But when we go to the hotel and tried to check in, it turns out the room we were supposed to stay in had issues with the plumbing and the hotel manager told us he'd be ordering us a cab to take us to a hotel they had booked for us. It took almost an hour to wait for the taxi. Finally we got to hotel Theatrion. A pretty nice hotel that would have been even nicer if the staff was as well, you truly notice when someone hate their job. When we finally had access to our hotel room we got changed for dinner and a club night. 

On Wednesday the 15th, we woke up early to head downtown on a guided tour in Terezin, where it used to be a concentration camp during WW2. A tour I highly recommend!

When we got home at 18 we chilled in the hotel room, taking a bath, drinking some cocktails until we decided to go out for dinner. Decci had some traditional cuisine that looked like baked in meat of some kind and I had salmon. We later got to a karaeoke bar where we hung out until closing time. We went looking for another bar, but everything was pretty much closed. So we went home, had some tacos close to our hotel and went to bed at 5 ish in the morning. 

On Thursday I woke up waaay hungover, we had breakfast half an hour before closing time and then we went to bed for a few more hours. At 15 we went to the Old Town for lunch at Národní Kavárna. It was the fresh hungover cure I've dreamed of, their lemonades are to die for. After lunch we decided to cross the Charles Bridge, however got distracted on the way over there when seeing paddle boats all over the river and a place we could rent one. We checked out the price and decided to go. And it was one of the best decisions we could have made on this trip!

On our way to the Bridge we noticed a tent where they sold fruit and we just couldn't resist! So we ate that fruit during our stroll over the bridge and in to the Old Town before we went home. 

We went home to make ourselves ready for dinner and a night out on the town. But as usual, we were a tinsy bit late and everything had closed when we got out so we ended up eating falafel/kebab at a fast food restaurant. Then we went out for drinks and Decci got a bit wasted on absint. I was still hungover from the night before so I was just her company for the night, drinking mostly things with cream such as Irish Coffee and Hot Chocolate (still a child).

On Friday, the 17th of August, we had a big breakfast until 10. Checked out at 11 and went on exploring the city for one last day. We went to an outlook tower near our hotel to check the town from above. They had such comfy chairs we stayed there longer than expected, then we decided to go for icecream, shopping souvenirs, alcohol and snacks for the trip. 

Only expensive thing in Prague? -Candy!

Had to sneak photograph these ladies, aren't they fashionable?

We got to Sweden around midnight and weren't home in the house until 3 in the morning. We slept until lunch time when dad had prepared a great feast meal for us all to enjoy. Decci left right after that, picked up by her aunt.

All and all, it was a great trip with a great friend that we booth deserved and enjoyed. We both learned and had a lot of fun! If there's anything I recomend it is buying one of those tickets where you get 3 days of the city's public transportation for a very cheap price. I also recomend going on a guided tour, wheter a free one in Prague or one in Terezin. Thing is, you should try all the things I did because I regretted none of them.
