Last of Prague

APOLOGIES...I know I have not been updating my blog.

The reason being: I AM TOO BUSY AT WORK!!! :(((

anyway back to PRAGUE~

So my last day in Prague was quite random, woke up and headed to this building called the dancing house, it looks quite interesting in the pictures when I google it.

This is how the dancing house looked...

pretty normal eh? so I went off after snapping a photo and while I was roaming around, I saw the biggest sex store...or rather a sex supermarket...
Photobucket

Didn't go in but I guess there are like different kinds of stuff to cater all kinds of fetish... :p

Went to explore Mozart house but it turned out to be just a building with his name on it...was kind of disappointed...

So I went over to the other side of the city via Charles bridge... took this shot when I was on the bridge and you can see that this bridge is used by lots of people...

Made my way to Lesser town to a Baroque convert called Loreta

Too bad it was closed for lunch... wasted trip!!! and off I headed to another church called Strahov Monastery and it was up on a mountain.

There was a micro brewery in the church area but I didn't stop to grab a drink as I was hungry and I don't want to drink on an empty stomach. I was craving for chinese food at the same time as I have not had a decent chinese meal for a long period so I stop by a Chinese restaurant on the way down (remember the church is on a mountain).

This Chinese restaurant has the funniest names for their dishes...take a look...

After lunch, I ventured to a mini effiel tower in prague called Petřínská rozhledna...it was situation on the other side of the mountain...and the flights of steps I have to climb which was good after a heavy meal :)

Made it to the tower and this is how it looks like...

Look like the effiel tower? I bet not...but then it's the "effiel tower" in prague so I have to get on top of it to marvel the spectacular view of Prague...

Next Stop...Prague Castle and its worth a visit as it is the biggest ancient castle in the world, according to the Guinness World Records, which rises above the city offering beautiful views of the areas below. 

The entrance of the castle with the guards in blue who were on duty, reminds me of the guards in London...

One of the castle square...ITS VERY SPACIOUS!!!

Went out and head back to the city of Prague via their famous bridge called Charles Bridge 
Photobucket

The Charles Bridge is one of several bridges over the Vltava. Its construction started in the 14th Century and it is one of Prague's most beautiful attractions. 

Chance upon a very tight alley and I have no idea how bigger size people are able to squeeze through...
