Mesmerizing Prague City

Moving on to the 3rd stop of our holiday...Prague. We took bus because that's the cheapest option. But suprisingly the bus ride was good. For only 14.50eu, dalam bas tu layan macam naik flight. Ada movie (tak boleh pilih la..tapi siap dapat headfon) and we get to order drinks for free. Ada sorang "stewardess" ni tabah melayan kitorang sana sini. It took about 5 hrs from Vienna to reach Prague station bus, Florence.

Prague is the capital of Czech Republic and the currency used is Krona (Kc). 1eu = ~25Kc = ~RM5. Kat Prague we are lucky to have our fellow KMB friends, and more conveniently their house is located in the middle of the city. Thanks to the hosts, Syamira, Sofia and Nabihah. A 24hours pass (for trams, metro, buses) costed 100Kc per pax.


yeayyy ade HRC!


Antara tourist attraction yang sempat kitorang pergi is the National Museum (walaupun tak masuk tapi dapat la tangkap gambar sikit jadilah :P), Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, and pusing-pusing around the Old City Square. Prague ni jugak selalu orang pergi kalau nak skiing at a very reasonable price but unfortunately we were not in the mood for skiing. Kate pun nak laid back kan so we didn't do any skiing. Dia jugak terkenal for its crystal..tapi kitorang tak pergi la kat tempat where you can buy crystal at cheaper price sebab dia jauh sikit from the city. Preciosa is the crystal "brand" from Prague (macam Swarovski tu, Bohemian crystal) Beli from the souvenir shops at the Old City square tu je..

paintings sold at the market. cantik tapi mahal sikit!

The highlights of Prague trip is the Christmas Market. Superbbbbb that we decided that we could return to Prague only to visit the them again. Unlike Vienna's, the Christmas Market is livelier here and there are a lot of interesting food sold. Makannn je kerje eh :P We get to taste their traditional food at the market..


in front of the Christmas Market. Behind us is famous church at Old City square.kat area situ gak ada Astronomical Clock. Macam setiap jam bila dia bunyi orang semua akan berkumpul tengok dia goes ding dong and akan ade orang main trumpet. Boleh jugak naik atas the clock's tower to view Prague city from the top. Tapi kena bayar la..


my personal favourite! Roti gulung. Roti tu dia cicah gula (macam donat) and makan panas-panas sangat sedap!


bakar roti gulung


yang ni pulak macam Pizza..cuma dough dia berbeza


pressed Potato..makan dengan macam jeruk ke apetah tu..macam makan murtabak ngan bawang tu la kire2nye..


One more interesting thing about Prague is....kasut jenama Bata originated from Czech Republic..so Bata kat sini adalah one of the branded shoes. Hwaaa...a bit shocking eh? (at least for me la)

Bata shop. Tengok la betapa besarnye..

Kesimpulannye Prague is a nice place....and could attract lazy tourists like us :P Tapi the flight ticket to Prague is kinda expensive..that's the only thing that could restrict us from coming back. Sebab tu kitorang pergi from Dublin to Salzburg (+/- 45eu) and balik from Prague (+/- 75eu). If we were to buy a return ticket to Prague, it would cost higher..at least kalau pergi from Salzburg-Vienna-Austria, although costed higher tapi dapat cover a few places...tak gitu?
