Bodhi Bum

It was another bank holiday weekend last weekend here in the UK (why are all the UK bank holidays in the spring, and then you don't have any days off the rest of the year hardly?). So what to do? How about a trip to Prague.

I've been wanting to check out Bohemia for a long time, and after a quick check of where we wanted to go, Prague seemed the obvious choice. Plus with all the budget airlines now, it costs next to nothing to fly around Europe. That is of course if you buy at least a month in advance. Which of course I didn't do and had to pay about 260 quid for my flight on EasyJet.

You'd think they'd be sick of drunk Brits making fools of themselves on stag parties, but it was a chilled out place. I did fly over on the plane with two stag groups, both of them all dressed out in stupid costumes and drunkenly singing their football chants. But thankfully we didn't run into any in the city.

Prague is an incredible city and it didn't dissapoint. Besides having the reputation of being the British stag capital of Europe, it has some really good nightlife. But as a city itself I really came away liking the place. It has incredible architecture like I've never seen before, an amazing amount of history, and being Bohemia it has a really cool laid back vibe to it. Plus it's easy to get around, not too big, and very friendly people.

The food is a strange one, since there seems to be more Italian pizzerias in the city than anything else. But we did try dinner one night at an authentic Czech restaurant with the great name of Jazz and Beer. The meal of Goulash and dumplings was amazing, and the jazz was pretty good to.

I think it would be an amazing city in the summertime, and I'll probably have to check it out again when it's hot. But overall I was definitely impressed by the place and rank it up there with a lot of the better cities I've been to.
