She travels... Prague

| Lows: 8°C || Highs: 28°C |

European holiday post no.3! This time we went to visit our cousins in the beautiful Czech city, Prague. This post is long overdue, but here are some highlights from our trip. And I totally 100% recommend this city to anyone looking for a short break away.


On day one, we explored the gardens next door to our hotel. Following a some-what interesting breakfast (European breakfasts never fail to throw something new in) - of salted bread and butter, scrambled egg, and cake - we were met with the beautiful sights of Pruhonicky park. Can you spot Becca and I amongst the flowers above?

Dad loved the park, he's been working on walking 10,000+ steps a day and daily walks around this park meant he exceeded that goal. And those burnt calories meant more room for great food!


Obligatory family picture in the park. Aren't we just the cutest? 

Over the next few days we ate more weird food for breakfast, spent more time in the park, chilled with our cousins and celebrated lots. There was lots to celebrate! And many a happy birthday was sung!

This day was filled with sights, food and some rather strong drinks! (Who knew their standard shot size is almost triple that of a UK measure?! Oops! Haha).

We crossed Charles bridge...


Took a boat tour along the river...


And made our way above the city for a cold glass of Rhum and coke...


What a view! And at the very top of this hill was a labyrinth that I just couldn't resist completing!


I was in my element.

Then we Uber-ed our way across the city to eat Chinese and drink cocktails.


On mum's birthday we visited the zoo. We saw the penguins, and the giraffes! Happiness all around.


At the zoo, there is a ski-lift that you can take up to the top! And of course we wanted to try it. It didn't feel the slightest bit safe and I held onto my phone so tightly, but it was beautiful and we loved it so much we travelled back down the same way.


Have a few more pictures from the zoo...






Following an excellent day out, we had a wonderful meal with the whole family! Prepare yourselves for another obligatory family photograph! Cute.


Granny loved her cake, and I love this picture...!


We spent our last day of the holiday exploring the city some more and I had one goal in mind: Eat. Chimney. Cakes. & so we did!


We walked down some beautiful streets...


and found an underground bar... :D


Then the time came to head to our airport hotel. We even saw a stag do carrying balloons en route. Not the weirdest stag party we'd seen this holiday, but certainly the most photographable!


We finished our stay in Prague in a quaint hotel full of aircraft memorabilia. We said our goodbyes, and headed to bed before our journey home the next morning!

Certainly so grateful to Granny and Gramps, mum and dad for this holiday!
