Pr-ahaaaaa!!!

Incase you'll are wondering what is Praha - it is the official name for Prague where we went this weekend!! It was really AH-MAZING!!! The beautiful architecture, the cobblestone paths, the yummy food, the drinks..

Our hotel Pav http://www.hotel-pav.cz/en/ was right in the center of everything which made it so easy! Next morning after a huge breakfast buffet we ventured out with a "free" city map and frommers printouts to get "lost" into the city .... Here is our weekend....

Outside our hotel...


The Prague Castle and the Charles bridge

Me on the crowded Charles bridge
As we were walking around, we fell upon this beautiful park...

The view from the top of the park..

The famous Prague castle is not a castle but palace grounds with a lot of palaces, cathedrals, etc. Here is us at the entrance


J outside the Vitus cathedral



For lunch we found a cafe in one of the sqaures...

We decided to try out a cool little restaurant just next to our hotel for dinner and that was the best decision ever! It turned out to be the oldest brewery in Prague. The architecture was wonderful, there were musicians playing everywhere and waiters walked around with their brewed beer and a drink called Becherovka. The food was to die for!

In the evening we walked to the Wenceslas square where the famous National museum stands. The street was too big and commercialized. Czech out the tram cafe... :)

The view at night!
At a cafe ....


The next day -Me dancing outside the "dancing" building.. this was quite lame..

The city was so well connected by trams... we took a day pass and went everywhere in them!

we went to the Vysehrad castle... again no castle only cathedral *sigh*

It had a beautiful view of the river...

We finally reached the famous and beautiful Old Town Square surrounded with great architectural marvels such as the Tyn Chapel, the St. Nicholas Church and the famous Astronomical Clock. We had the best meal of our lives sitting in one of the cafes there!




I wish I could stay there forever.... but it was time to come back.... buh-bye Prague! Check out some other cool pics in the slideshow on the top.
