Prague (1 April to 4 April 2012)

once again, i revisited eastern europe after almost 3 years since my last visit. This time it was less extensive and more time was spent at each place, which is good as we would have more time to explore each city. and honestly, at this age (i make it sound like i am a century old >.<), all i want is a relaxing trip, away from the hectic lifestyle of the typical city life that we Singaporeans have been so accustomed to. Otherwise, why would it be called a holiday?!

first meal of the trip. (and ahem, the start of plenty good meals to come, this was quite bad compared to the numerous good restaurants we visited during this trip)

made quite a few friends during this trip too :)

ms sophie (the best hostel i've stayed. ever.)

there was complimentary breakfast provided and it was surprisingly really good. and the hostel rooms look like hotel standard!







all together now







going up to the Prague Castle

Interesting fact:

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Prague Castle is the largest coherent castle complex in the world, with an area of almost 70,000 m². A UNESCO World Heritage site, it consists of a large-scale composition of palaces and ecclesiastical buildings of various architectural styles, from Roman-style buildings from the 10th century through Gothic modifications in the 14th century.
