Prague was outstanding. The buildings were beautiful and had an indescribable ancient feel to them, and we arrived during a huge music festival, so even the buskers on the street were exceptional musicians. We had planned to go to a show or two in churches, but seemed to always miss them, mired in the heat and unwilling to leave our relatively cool hostel siestas. The heat wave was completely unreasonable and pretty unexpected.
We both found our hostel good for meeting people. We went out with a large crowd--a mix of Canadian, British, Kiwi, and American travelers--to a club called La Lucerne, where we drank cheap (really cheap) beer and danced like retards to 80's music videos. The whole of eastern Europe is stuck in the 80's. I can't tell you how many times I heard "The Final Countdown," or "The Winds of Change" on this trip, though I guess I can forgive anybody who grew up under communism for listening to the latter.
But eventually we tired of the heatwave, and of the crowds on the Karlovy Most, so we decided to move on to Cesky Krumlov, a UNESCO-site town in the south of Czech, which had been spoken highly of by fellow travelers in the hostel.
