Prague

We're obviously going too slowly, as the rain has caught up with us. It has been pouring for most of the day, which wasn't as much of a downer as I expected. My raincoat passed its first test, and more importantly, so did our tent.

Prague was stunning, even in the rain, but you won't be able to see what I mean because my phone stayed in my pocket for the whole day. Sorry :) The city was a strange contrast between old and new, communism and democracy, gloss and grot. The centre was disappointingly touristy, with high prices, low quality and false "culture". Despite this, it still manages to be enticing and characterful. And every second car is a Skoda.

Prague is a genuine Old World city, more so than London or Paris, as it still retains the feel of its ancient past and heritage whilst adopting a certain modernity. I love it, and wish that I were here for more than one day.
