Prague... Such a beautiful city. With a river separating its two halves Prague is an ideal location to wander around. And a good location for catching up with a London friend. I once again embarked on a free city tour (I'm most definitely making the most of these!). They are definitely a great way to see the city you're visiting! Beer was cheap, food was street food and bar crawls had unlimited drinks (and a souvenir t-shirt free for girls). Prague Castle is considered the biggest in Europe. However, it more felt like they decided to build a town on top of a really big hill, put a wall around it and call it a 'castle'.
Highlight of the trip, especially considering my recent adventure to Russia, was the KGB museum guided by none other than an ex-KGB officer and lover of Stalin. Dad definitely missed out on this opportunity to view spy equipment and hear stories of this infamous secret service. I know where he will be booking his next conference! For those of you who don't know, Peter Smith being Peter Smith, thought it entirely plausible that he would be given a full tour of the KGB headquarters in Moscow, now renamed FSB. Lets remember Dad, we aren't talking about bluffing our way through the fast-track line at Tokyo Disneyland!
Overall, a pretty cool city!
Oh and ps. the first voted overrated tourist attraction in Europe (the astronomical clock in Prague). Hmmmm...
