Yay! Prague

The drive down to Prague is mostly dull motorway, interrupted by an old fashioned border crossing where we have to show our passports and buy a permit to drive on the motorways.
The motorway is again interrupted after a few miles when it ends and we join the scenic route along the river Elbe, on lovely low road that follows the twists of the river for many miles. In no time at all we are in Prague, and with a little help from our backup satnav, we arrive at Wenceslas Square and play hunt the hotel. Although I had booked a big name, it was not the most obvious of hotels and took us a good few times going round and round to actually find it.
But we did find it and checked in whilst the BellBoy took the car away (wow valet parking). After settling in we braved the evening in Prague and, fending off the touts for the girlie bars, walked towards the old town looking for our dinner.

Day 2
It doesn’t actually seem like we have done much camping yet, as the last few days have all been spent in comfort in a hotel. But hey, it does mean that we have more time actually in the places we are visiting.

So our first full day in the beautiful city of Prague is spent wandering around the old town, across the Charles Bridge and up to the Castle, taking in a few beers on the way. Hmm, that also seems to be a bit of a theme so far.
