    Prague

    August 6, 2023 in the Netherlands ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    We have made it to Prague.That shouldn't come as a surprise seeing that was was our final destination. We all fell asleep on the Amsterdam to Prague flight. The main excitement was losing Jada after promising her mother that I wouldn't within literally seconds of landing in Czech. Jada was at the front of the plane and disembarked to a gate while we disembarked from the back of the plane onto a bus. We just assumed everyone was on the bus so it was quite unnerving when we got off the bus and there was no Jada. Our phones initially weren't working due to no Sim cards so we had to get onto the wifi to contact her. She had sensibly just waited at the gate. Our driver a 30 year old woman met and after a long walk/run to her car we experienced some of the most aggressive driving we have ever experienced. She was definitely a frustrated formula one driver. She dropped us off at our Air BnB in a building named Hotel Chill. Talk about an unrest cure. I entered the access code to the electronic box and it opened box 6 with no keys rather than box 5 with our keys. As we still didn't have a SIM card this was going to turn into a hassle as my contact with the owner was through the Air BnB app so I was going to have to wander around and find some free Wifi. Fortunately some other guests came into the building and I told them our story and they had the owners phone number. After a quick call all was sorted out. Off to buy Sim cards tomorrow. We then did what I call the zombie walk. We tried to stay up as long as possible. We got some groceries ate supper and went for a little walk before collapsing with exhaustion. My initial impression of Prague is a major party town. Every small grocery store is a liquor store in disguise. My other observation is that I love art Nouveau architecture. Edmonton should bring in an art Nouveau bylaw.Read more
