Princely Prague

Let's intertwine short cobblestone streets, then line them up with luxury boutiques, glittering crystal shops, scattered alfresco dining and backdrop a grand spired skyline of castles that leads to a glorious statue-bedecked bridge - Viola you have Prague!  

We had a great time in this very well preserved Bohemian capital that we can attribute to many things. A very informative and aussie-humour (!) filled royal walking tour with all things Charles IV was useful orientation for Day 1. Add sinful kürtős kalács (or hungarian chimney cakes) to that.

A bumpy (forgot about the cobblestones!) but enjoyable bike ride to Letna Park and the less-visited Vyšehrad Castle across the Vltava river gave us a different feel of Czech on Day 3. While the ride took less than 30 minutes, cobblestones slowly disappeared and scanty neighbourhoods appeared. Bumped into a ginger bread museum/shop on our return journey via Prague castle - Shraddha's priorities were clear.

Back in old town, your mission should you choose to accept it is to avoid Karlova street and its gazillion tourists at all costs. Accepted=Fun! 

All ends well with tasty czech food and tank pilsner at a modern beer hall Lokál but photos reserved (again) for the food blog.
