Back from Prague

Yeap, that's it, vacations over...

Prague is a lovely city. I spent a very fun and enjoyable five days there. We did lots of visiting, and lots, lots, lots of walking (actually I'm starting to get worried about my feet, seems like I start aching from standing up more than a few minutes way too easily), saw lots of beautiful buildings and made many silly jokes.
The trip was made with friends from the old A song of ice and fire board and Storm's End board, which all happen to be europeans. Most of them I had met already when they came to Paris last year. Of course, this time, being part of the travellers staying at the hotel, I got to know them better than then. All of them were very nice and cool person, and I loved spending time with them. We discussed the books ofcourse, but more than anything we talked about cultures, history, geography and differences between our countrie. I learnt an awful lots about Norway, of all things, because our resident Viking Jostein was verty talkative and rather gifted about it. There was also two Germans, Fabian and Korbinian, one Austrian, Maia B is a Letvonian living in Austria, a Polish, and Padraig was our Irishman (thought we did joke a lot about him being brittish, to his great dismay). Jana, herself from Prague did join us a few times when her work allowed her to.
Too bad some of the people who I met in Paris last year couldn't come. Like [livejournal.com profile] generalblossom, Anna and Joris. But we did send them postcards ;)
I do hope ot meet them all again next year in Glasgow. Or sooner if something can be organized.

After climbing the thousands of stairs leading to the top of the tower in the cathedral next to Prague Castle, we were rather tired.



Down in the catacombe of the same Cathedrale... I hadn't recovered yet.



But it was a very pretty cathedral. Probably the best thing to see in Prague, along with the old Jewish synagogua and old Jewish cemetary and Charles Bridge. Too bad it was crowded with tourists.

Everyone was looking at the person taking the picture except Fabian and I, la la la, wonder why...
