| Modern building amongst the old in Prague |
Prague, beautiful Prague is the capital of Czech Republic
and it is popular tourist destination for all sorts; I was there for three
nights to see the Xmas lights and found lots more to see, however Prague’s
beautiful reputation is being eroded by the flight full of lager drinkers from UK (mostly
out for stag nights, my nephew was one of them) and I guess from the rest of Europe ( Prague is twinned with 40 cities around the world mostly from Europe) because Prague can
provide cheap beer and the rest for easy money?
Prague’s
centre was completed destroyed during the 2
nd World war and nothing
was done to restore its beauty until the collapse of Communism 1989 and after
my visit I can see why it is listed as one of the World Heritage Sites. The
city is full of incredibly wonderful buildings, every corner I turned to there
was a beautiful building to admire and take picture of, new modern buildings were
merged into the old Gothic styles or Renaissance style; there was so much to
see on the streets of Prague that I had no time to visit any art galleries or
museums, plenty of them around too!
Prague is also famous for old
fashioned coffee houses and I agreed to meet up with a friend (5W member)
living in Prague
for coffee. I was a bit disappointed when she asked me to meet at the coffee
place run by M&S; yes there is M&S department store too for those who
like to drink very expensive cup of coffee!
