Never a Dull Moment in Prague! DOWNPOUR!!

In the morning we wake up and have breakfast a the hotel before hoping in the Coach to cross the border into the Czech Republic, the last stop on our adventures in Europe! On our way we stop at the first of many KFCs of the next couple days (explanation will come later!) and try to figure out the Korona exchange rate. It makes you appreciate the Euro when you enter a country that doesnt use it, but the KFC guys changed our Euros into Korona for us!

When we arrive in Prague, we head straight to the Old Town Square and walk around Old Town for a while. After checking out a couple of shops, we sit down at a cafĂ© in the square and have a beer in front of this sweet astrological clock located on the Old Town city hall in Old Town Square. We head back to the hotel and relax a bit and go to this huge grocery store nearby for wine and sandwiches, and then get ready for one of the craziest nights of the trip—partying at the discotheque Karlovy Lazne, where each of the 5 levels had its own style of music! I was pretty stoked.

We pre-partied a bit in the hotel until it was time to head out to the town, but before we know it we are caught in a downpour rainstorm! This was the first bad weather of the trip, but in all honesty we were drunk enough to completely not care. We just decided to screw it and run through the rain and jump in the puddles!

We sloshed our way to the discotheque but saw a Coyote Ugly bar and decided a pit-stop for some shots of absinthe was completely necessary, while still soaking wet from the rainstorm! We then met up with the crew at the discotheque and partied the night away, rocking out to Michael Jackson on one floor, European Dance music on another and Disco on another, still kind of soaking wet! Although I ended up loosing my purse and others lost their wallets and cameras, it was still one of the craziest and most fun nights of the trip!

Like any great city, Prague can absorb all this and still remain a great place to visit. There are so many beautiful buildings, streets and monuments here that it'll just win you over. And despite all the tourists it's not at all an expensive destination. Restaurants and Prague hotels are at good value, tourist sights and museums, and you can drink some of the finest beers in the world here for next to nothing. The most expensive beer I had during our visit was 50 crouns (about one pound sterling and that was at the opera).
