Wednesday 18th March 2015:
Wednesday morning arrives and we head off towards the Czech Republic, with a stop over in the German village of Dresden. This village was destroyed and rebuilt in the 1990's, yet looks like an authentic Gothic town.
Upon arrival in Prague, the first thing we noticed is the cobblestone streets and footpaths - they are everywhere! Our introduction to this city was the Castle District, Hradčany, which offers a stunning panorama over the entire city.
We strolled across the iconic Charles Bridge, and viewed Prague's unique astronomical clock. Finishing our tour, we wandered through the old Jewish quarter, now the high-end area of town. We ended the night at The Pub, a bar where each table has taps in the middle to pour your own beer.
Thursday we went for a 2 hour river cruise with lunch, taking in the sights. We strolled the city, after going into an Internet cafe to complete competency tests for our prospective jobs in London. We finished the day at the rooftop terrace bar of the Hotel U Prince before embarking on an evening ghost tour.
