Day 48 - Prague castle

So today, the three of us, Reshae, Emma and myself, all slept in until like 12, then, hungover and extreeeeeemely hungry caught aq tram into the old part of town near the castle.

First we stopped for food. I had cordon blue, its a fancy name for a chicken kiev, but it was good.

After food we missioned to Prague castle. It was quite a steep hike. Nothing like the Jesus statue in San Seb, but still quite a mission. We did make it to the top, and walked through what we THOUGHT was the Castle, but it looked nothing like a castle? As there were no street signs anywhere around the outside of the castle, I couldn't situate myself on the map. The girls felt that it was higher up on the hill, so, after bascailly napping in a park on some awesome grass for probably close to an hour, we walked further, but alas, no, we ran into a tram line and I could figure out where we were, and the giant unimpressive building we were in earlier WAS indeed the castle. So we walked back.

So Prague castle is apparently the biggest castle in Europe... However, it looks nothing like a castle. It is HUGE, but its kind of a mini city, that can claim itself as a 'castle' because its all joined, and 'technically' one building. I was unimpressed apart from the pretty cool gothic cathedral in the middle. but at least I saw it to be able to judge it lol.

After this we got some ice cream, and made our way back to the hostel. We didn't really do much at the hostel... We went online for quite a while, then hung out in Reshae and Emma's room. Fiona and Holly who I met in Amsterdam are also here, and were in the room too, so we had a bit of a chat

I got REALLY hungry around like 11pm, so we went to the restaurant at the hostel and I got some gnocchi and the girls got some pizzas.

After this I went to bed.

All in all a good day, I'm glad I saw the castle so I can say that it was pretty crap lol.

Things that made me happy today; Gnocchi that tasted like Mario's :) Reminded me of home. And laying in the park in AMAZING weather.

Things that made me sad today; A big town of buildings all joined together claiming itself as the biggest castle in Europe...
