Prague Christmas Holiday

First day in Prague! We had Christmas day lunch with our housemates, Adrian, Soo and Adrian's sister, Lara, at the Czech House in the Hilton - buffet lunch - lobster, prawns, oysters - not bad for a land locked country! - YUMMO!!


Christmas Markets - Old Town Square (Staromestske namesti).


Faberge style eggs (couldn't afford the real Faberge!) - May eventually bought one on our last day in Prague. We were trying hard to get rid of our Czech Korunas seeing that we may not end up in the Czech Republic in the near future.


Prague Castle - night view from Charles Bridge. [May here: very romantic, great spot for guys (or modern-age ladies) to propose to their loved ones]

Old Town Square - during the day!


Charles Bridge during the day - and Prague Castle in the background (reputedly the world's largest castle!).


Some random street (on our way to the old Prague Castle) - May just liked the architecture.


Just outside Prague Castle - St Vitus' Cathedral in the background.


The outside of St Vitus' Cathedral.


The inside of St Vitus' Cathedral.


The inside hall of the Old Royal Palace (Stary kralovsky palac).


Golden Lane (inside Prague Castle) - a cobbled street lined with 16th century cottages filled with craft shops.


One of the guards - just like the English guards at Buckingham Palace - these guards don't smile or react to anything - they just stand still with their eyes moving!! Must be freezing standing still for hours!


An evening view of Charles Bridge (from another bridge spanning the Vltava River).


Romantic picture along the Vltava River - we would be in this picture however our camera died during the next shot (ran out of batteries!!).
