Czech Me Out!

Hello! I've just returned from Prague (see what I did there?... Prague?... "Czech me out"?.. comedy genius I know)

Yes, a week ago I was whisked off to Prague by the very romantic Andrew for a week of Jazz, goulash and Staropramen. Prague is one of my absolute favourite places so I broke my "no cameras on holiday" rule, just this once! As I know we all love looking at other people's holiday snaps, I thought I'd share some with you...

Prague is just wonderful to get lost in and seems to have more amazing churches per mile than anywhere else on the planet.







However, it's crowning glory is St Vitus' Cathedral. Although you have to climb some VERY steep steps to reach it, it's well worth the effort and the day we finally made it there, we were treated to a spectacular light display:





Prague's other claims to fame are the Charles Bridge, the most beautiful and romantic bridge this side of the Trent and the amazing Jazz scene. If you like your live Jazz then treat yourself to a trip to one of Prague's achingly cool cellar clubs where you'll find everything from fusion to the more traditional stuff. And, oh look, here's the bridge with some Jazz on it:







And finally (yes I know I'm beginning to sound like a Letz travel guide!) the other thing Prague does well is puppets. Their marionette (posh puppets) theatre is world renowned and where we saw the puppet Don Giovanni (you've not seen opera until you've seen puppet opera). A word of caution however: an afternoon of Staropramen combined with an over zealous appreciation of puppet opera can result in buying and then having to fit a 20" Jester puppet into your luggage. He is very lovely though!
