Prague- Czech Republic

It's my first time traveling to Eastern Europe.. Before I made plans there, a lot of friends or colleagues whom been there had been highlighting to me that beware of my belongings and lookout for scams..

But luckily, nothing of that happen to me.

Well, it's not a great start when I'm in Prague.. I left my passport in the plane and had to seek help from the airport staff...after waiting panicky for 40mins at the counter, I finally gotten my passport back..and depart from the custom legally.. Hehe..

Compared to uk, Prague was so much colder and cooler..temperature is between 0-9degree..pretty nice :) There's too much things to explore in Prague and 3 days were definitely too short for this beautiful city..

First stop, went to Charles bridge since my hotel is around the corner.. Then head to old town square and surprisingly, the Xmas market is still around and it's the last day..I have heard so much about Xmas market and it's my first time witnessing the event..it was awesome with real Xmas tree there, having hot red wine and sausages in winter is just amazing..lol..climb up to the tower too to have a panorama view of the old town was cool!

As the night falls, we shop around the old town and went to the ice bar which is minus 9 degree..I was frozen inside basically..lol..

Woke up early early on the second day and took the cruise tour at 10am..the one hour water tour is really worth it as it sails along the best part of Prague.. Afterwhich, we signed up for underground tour of the old town..which means we have a tour underneath the road/path..it was quite educational but trying to understand what our tour guide trying to explain is abit of challenge..We continue to shop around by the vicinity till the night fall

Day 3, we went to the museum and cathedral in Prague (I forgotten much) what I can recall was visiting the old town ..hehe...

Day 4, woke up at 11am and took the train to the next stop, Berlin, Germany.

 

To me, Eastern Europe is still very "back dated" compared to Western Europe...which I love it a lot..very authentic feel..the food was relatively cheap (cheaper than uk/Germany) and drinks were cheap too (than Singapore!) I would definitely come back to Prague again and explore more in the east Europe..
