My second stop on my vacation was, Prague. I've never been to Czech Republic or even ever thought I'd go there before my dream city Milan but here I was... Living and breathing in the capital city of Czech. As soon as I landed at Vaclav Havel Prague airport; I took the public transport from the airport to my hotel, and as I hopped on the bus, it was as if I was in a movie; people just staring at you,analytically and you just sit down quietly,because you clearly look like an outsider and cant hide it. At first glance the faces wernt friendly but from traveling frequently and living in Australia for some years, I've come to realize that people are always more intimidated by you as you are of them. And so I didn't let them bother my perspective of this city. Just Keep calm and carry on.
All in All the people of Prague were good to me. I understood nothing of their language but they were pleasant people. I stayed At Una Hotel, which at first glance I had reservations about but was surprise with a lovely spacious room, complimentary one night 3 course meal and a complimentary ticket to visit their zoo. This place also gives you more value for your money e.g R500 was 266 in the Czech currency. Needles to say I wasnt complaining. The city is also easily accessible with their trams which I used, but mostly I loved the walking to see New towns, Dancing house and Old towns, Old times square and everything else in between. I really wish I had more time to see it's amazing art galleries and Andy Warhol exhibition, But I suppose I will leave that
for another trip in another city.
