Prague-tically perfect in every way
Dobrý den! Last weekend I visited Prague and it was fantastic! I had been to Prague before, but not in living memory, as my parents took me when I was about three years old. From the age of about two to about twelve, we had a series of au pairs who lived with us and looked after us during the day, as both my parents worked. Most of them were from the Czech Republic or Slovakia, and three of them live in or near Prague, so we took the opportunity to meet up with them on Saturday! I got the train on Friday afternoon, arriving into Prague at about 7.30 after only about 3 and a half hours in total (the bus is even quicker). My first task was to get money out at the central station, which is confusingly named nothing even slightly recognisable: hlavní nádraží. The Czech currency is the koruna, which I found entirely impossible to get used to. I hazarded a guess and withdrew 1000 koruna from the cash point, before being instantly thwarted by the ticket machine which didn't take notes...
