Prague & Olomouc, Czech Republic

After a short but sweet overnight stop in London, after our Egypt trip, we flew out to Prague. We arrived at 21:25 and as soon as we’d gotten through passport control I realised I’d left my jacket on the plane…oops! I hadn’t needed it in Egypt at all so I was out of the habit. Anyway we got it back no worries it was just a bit of waiting around. We finally arrived at our hostel at midnight and were checked out again by 9am. As we had already visited Prague in November last year, we moved straight on to Olomouc, which is a lot smaller than Prague and we’d heard it was gorgeous. We had our first stroke of luck when we were allowed on to the bus even though it was fully booked – the driver moved his stuff off a seat and was very helpful, even with the language barrier. At every stop they were turning people without tickets away, and at one stop they had to go through the bus checking tickets as there were no seats left, yet 2 people with tickets needed to get on - I seriously thought we were going to get kicked off as they had overbooked or something, but they found the culprits…Soo lucky! Phew!

We stayed for 2 nights in a nice small hostel called Poets Corner. We went to a museum which happened to be free on Wednesdays (woop woop - otherwise we wouldn’t have gone) so that was cool as we ended up seeing some pretty neat stuff….a massive chariot for one, very bling bling. While we were there it snowed a bit – very strange for us as we were still sunburnt from Egypt! Olomouc is very small so 1.5 days was plenty of time and we could just walk around at our leisure and fit in most the stuff the hostel recommended including indulging in fantastic local food, beer and a scrumptious chocolate tart.
