yesterday, along with a group of canadians and americans from my hostel, i joined a free walking tour of the prague castle. was quite shattered they chose the non-paying one, as the guide of the paid one was super cute and i'd already had good chats with him my first day and yesterday morning! robbed!
anyway, so we caught a tram from old town up to the castle. first stop was a monastery, but as it is still in operation we simply went to their brewery to sample their famous beer. it was also a great way to escape the torrential downpour outside!
so after drinking half a litre of beer in 15 minutes, we began our tour of the castle proper. built in stages over 1,100 years, it was quite disjointed and not overly spectacular. though we were informed that was due to the need for churches to be the most spectacular buildings - which the castle's gothic/renaissance cathedral certainly was!
following the tour i met up with casey, a guy i met in turkey, and his friend claire for a couple of ours, and they later joined everyone from our hostel for a night out on the town. was such an awesome night!! played shithead for a couple of hours in the kitchen before heading to 'the pub' where each table has their own beer taps and races each other table - such a great concept. then onto james dean bar to dance and dance to awesome old music and finally to harley's to go wild on table tops. so much fun!
woke up early again this morning and have a terrible hangover! had one beer the whole night... stupid antibiotics!
