The next morning we headed off to Prague, Czech Republic. It was the most beautiful city i had ever seen! The first night we had dinner at the hotel, then had our own celebration for the 4th of July.
our first day started with a three hour guided walking tour, which was probably the best way to start exploring this incredible city. Beginning up on the hill of Hradcany, where Prague Castle is located and slowly walking our way down through the town. Prague Castle is one of the biggest castles in all of Europe, and it filled with architecture from many different eras, it was amazing! And from the castle, you could see the most spectacular view of the whole city. The view was amazing, all the different coloured roof tops, and the beautiful scenery. We continued our tour through the city, with our truly wonderful guide eventually making it to the Charles Bridge. The entire bridge is covered in statues, the most famous being the statue of St. John, who was murdered right on this very bridge. The statue also has a touch of magic about it, as you can make a wish on the spot where he was killed. The bridge also had romantic history, as the entire bridge is covered with padlocks, on which couples have engraved their initials, locked their love and thrown the key into the Vltava River. We finished our walking tour at the famous astronomical clock, which is a wonderful piece of very old engineering, and watching it ring. After our guide left us, we had free time to go eat and explore the city of our own accord. We had a wonderful time eating lunch and exploring the city, watching street performers, and just generally enjoying Prague. That night in Prague we ate dinner on a boat on the river! It was a really wonderful to eat dinner and watch Prague pass us by. Of course there was a lot of singing and dancing going on, and we even did the Haka, with the help of the New Zealand exchange students. After our beautiful evening on the river, we had the night to head into the city and explore the nightlife Prague is most famous for. I and many others headed to Karlzony Lazne, the biggest music nightclub in central Europe. This club had five stories, each with a different theme of music. We danced up a storm all night, singing at the top of our lungs.
