On the train from Berlin to Prague we had a funny story. There was a couple of American, they lost their passport but they had a declaration from the police. Every time we had to go from a country to another, there was a passport control.

So the police came ask our passport and then ask to the American. Because they did not have it with them they to get off the train to take a train back to Berlin.

So we arrive in Prague and I started to have a real pain on my back. I think it is there as well when Fran broke the other part of his bag (fucking Chinese bag again). At the beginning, Prague looked quite poor. We took the metro which was a bit dodgy. Same system as in Berlin, so we did not pay the ticket. If there is a problem we don t speak English or we run. Hehehehe (bad French Spanish couple)

Anyway, we arrive in our hotel which was really nice. There was a garden in the middle and we had a big room with a shower share with another room. We started our walk across Prague.

The first thing funny that we meet was a monument next to our hotel. It looked like a little cathedral but when we came closer it was a gynaecology office...

The weather was really nice (and it was good I think during all our travel). We were surprised to see that finally Prague was a very beautiful town. We walked in the city centre and we went into a supermarket (just to have a look on the product). There is one thing that we could say about their alimentation. They have enough sausages.

We decided after to go to have a dinner in the city centre. We wanted to try the pork knee and the strudel. We found a really nice little restaurant not really far from the city centre and extremely good (sorry I do not remember the name).

We ordered Cheese mixed for the entrance (good), Pork knee for me (1kg of pork please because there was two pork knee) and a pork mixed for fran (there was sausages, pork meat...Better not to go if you re Muslim ;) ), a very good bottle of wine. And we paid about 15€ per person. This was so cheap and we eat so much. We had a very good romantic dinner (even after we looked like two potatoes as we were full) after that we walked a bit and took the metro back to the hotel

The day after, we decided to visit Prague castle on the morning. The castle was very nice (sorry to say always very or really but we really enjoyed Prague). We had to walk a lot and my back hurt me more and more. Inside the cathedral of the castle, there were huge windows with loads of colours and details that I have never seen in others. We had to climb up to the tower to have a view on all Prague. I don’t know how many stairs we climb but it was about 15 minutes. But it worth it. The view was spectacular.

After, we went again to the city centre to see the astral clock in the main place. It is funny because when it is o'clock, there are some figurines which go out and turn...

We had a big laugh with Fran for two things:

The first was an American who ask to somebody if he speaks English and the person answer "small"

The second were Spanish group. There were one girl and two guys. The girl said (I translate after) " Saca una foto. Que saque una foto coño. Donde esta el Paco" Which means "takes a picture. Take a fucking Picture. Where is the Paco?" We laughed on that because she said it in a typical Spanish way (shouting and nervously)

I tried a strudel at this place and after we got back to our hotel. But I had a big problem. My back hurt me so much that I couldn't move. I had a "sciatic" (I Don't know how to say it). We had to go back to the hotel (which was not easy) and I lay down all the rest of the afternoon. On the night, we had another problem. We did not have more czeck courons and we were hungry and I could not move and Fran did not want to take money from my credit card. SO fran decided to go to change some euros to buy a McDonalds. He took about two hours. Because he had to go until the city centre to change the money, to find a mc Donald’s and to go back to the hotel. He was my hero as he took care of me. We ate and the day after we had to go. But as I couldn't move he had to wear my bag and his bag (both 20 kilos each). My poor Frani. As it was not enough, we went to the wrong station and we had to take the metro again to go to the right one.
