Prague

I didn’t know what to expect from Prague and the old town was such a pleasant surprise. It is beautiful and every build competing for the prize. All the different styles and colours and detail just got oohs and ahs from me. We were very blessed to have booked an airbnb in the old town a few min walk from everything, I didn’t realise at the time of booking how well situated it was. When we arrived in Prague we decided to hail a taxi at the station after a full day of travel, mostly by bus. They see all the tourists coming !! But it still was only $20, and worth it! On leaving Prague we ordered an Uber and it was only $6 same route! And in a BMW in style.. The most tiring thing was walking on cobblestones most of the day, my feet were burning and sore from the past week’s city walking and sight seeing!

The food in Prague is very cheap so we decided to eat out. What a feast! Ernest had the pork knuckle, Ryan a pork chop, Amelia pork ribs and I a hamburger because I don’t like pork. Unfortunately all the rich foods upset Amelia’s stomach and she felt sick through the night and we had to catch the train next morning early. The Pharmacy gave her activated charcoal and it worked very quickly! I also always travel with probiotics. She’s feeling better and also having space in the very cheap business class compartment that we booked months ago- what a blessing.

Beautiful coloured Macaroons, but we are waiting till Paris to try because we already sampled the gingerbread as well as some other pastries today. Oh dear I can tell you I am not loosing weight on this trip!! Despite the double amount of exercise we are getting every day.

When I did research on where we were going to go, I came across a blog of this flower ice cream – I told myself no matter what the cost I’m gonna have one! Yay! Found a shop by accident in Prague, called Amorino just on the other side of the Charles bridge. I can’t believe I had to eat such a beautiful ice cream!! Wasn’t too expensive same as special ice-cream in Perth-about $4,50. The ice-cream was delicious too.
