more on prague

Hellooo, Im back to share more on prague again!! This is our first accommodation.. A very decent 3-stars hotel for just 9 pounds! And with good buffet breakfast to fill our stomachs before we start our expedition for the day!!
In the following picture, i was standing on the Charles' Bridge, the main bridge that links the east and west of Prague..There are lots of statues along the bridge, but most of them are no longer original. They were either destroyed by the flood in 2002 or they are reconstructed since the genuine one is displayed in museums.. Imagine how strong and how high sea level the flood would hv been to cause such destruction? Thanks to a funny 'auntie' who took photo for miss yip and me. I still rmb her hillarious look when she pressed the 'off' button and the lens shrunk in when she's supposed to press the 'capture'.. =)
Actually, there are not merely a bridge linking the both sides of Prague. We counted, there were at least 4! And klang is just connected by 2 bridges, and it took us ages to complete the link near Jalan Kapar now. Y can ppl construct bridges easily while it is an uphill struggle for us?? =P

Having the castle behind the princess.. :DSide view of the castle.. Again, im wondering y can ppl's bridges be so elegant and impressive but not ours?? xDOn the edge of the bridge there's a kampa island.. It is quite famous for pottery market. Most of the embassies are located here hence it's a quite high class and quiet place. And there's a bridge whereby couples lock a love lock as a blessing for their relationships!

Apart from that, that's the John Lennon wall! Hmm.. Czechs are quite talented in graffiti :)
Not forgetting to show u more pictures on food, we had a full 3-course lunch in a Czech restaurant..
Starting with appetiser --> salad..

Main with beef goulash, bread dumplings and onions.. If you want more description on this, read the 2nd post after tis.. But u must be wondering, onions as a side dish? Hmmm.. Yes, I dont eat onions too :(

Apple pie as dessert.. We wanted to try the famous sweet pancake, but our course includes apple pie.. Next time ya, sweet pancake =P
In the late evening, we headed to Petrin Hill. In Prague, the modes of transport available are underground, bus, tram and train. Amonst all, underground is the most comfortable, while train is the worst. Shhhh.. their trains and train station are not too well maintained... But most of them are efficient. Most of the time, we do not hv to wait more than 5 minutes for any transport, cool!!

Tat's the tram.. Sort of 'land train'.. It has its tracks, and has wires on the top of it.. Cars are prohibited from driving on the tracks.. I think driving in Czech is quite difficult.. and boring ( i ll tel u why bit later)

That's the leg of Petrin Hill.. It's a very spacious and green grassland that everyone would definitely enjoy.. Reading a book, listening to music, chattin with your friends, dating, throwing balls at each other, or even merely lying down on the grass and observing the sky.. It's so relaxed and pleasant..

We climbed up the hill, step by step.. Well, u know pinkiecloud isnt a very sporty person. But i didn gv up. I believe the view from the pinnacle is going to make my effort worthwhile, and it really did! Everything was so pretty that they looked so fake, as if drewn or painted..

Just because they are so pretty, they deserve another picture here :)

In order to reward ourselves, we bought ice-creams for ourselves! Up the peak, there are few more attractions eg. the mirror maze, the museum and the Petrin tower, which is also called the 'Prague Eiffel tower'.. Well u r allowed to climb up the tower however, it was already closed when we reached the peak.. Anyway, a picture of it is well enough.. I doubt i can climb all the way up after climbing up Petrin.. Heeeheee ^-^

It was almost late evening after we came down from petrin.. But there's a place that we would really like to visit as we saw a photo of it from the postcards.. It has a very unique structure, and it looks very gracefull and glamorous..

Let me present to you, the dancing house!! Like a great dancer, it stands out in the night and shines itself =)Remember i mentioned that driving isnt that enjoyable in Czech compared to Malaysia? Well, due to having one land reserved for the trams, most of the roads in Czech is single lane. Hv a think, if a car breaks down or if there's just a very very slow driver in front, how long can the queue be.. There's no second land for u to cut in at all.. THat's y u can see traffic jam here!! Wakakaka...The last picture for the post: The night view of the castle! I hv a feeling that it really looks like disneyland or any fairy tale castles.. Really! It was so fascinating and fantastic in front of ur eyes.. Shhh.. I made a wish in front of the castle!! :DOne final post coming up on prague in the context of history, the old town. And may i wish you Happy Easter!! ^-^
