Prague…

Yesterday, Darce treated me to a day out - a trip to Prague.  


I’d never been there before so it came as a pleasant surprise. And flying out business class made it even more special. 🎩

We flew out of Heathrow T3 about 10am so had enough time to whiz round the different airport lounges too (more on that later). 

Then having landed in Prague, we found ourselves in a field surrounded by snow within about 10 minutes. So don’t trust my directions in future, right? 😂

Back at the airport again, we jumped in a taxi. It turns out taxis are amazingly cheap in Prague.

We went to cathedral first (impressive), then the Charles Bridge (equally impressive but packed full of tourists), the Old Town square (beautiful), an Irish bar (I was drinking, Darce wasn’t as he’s doing dry February), the Hard Rock Cafe (to collect a glass as a memento), and finally to a restaurant that serves its food and drinks using a mini railway track. The way you do. The trains were better than the food though.  But it was a fun thing to do. And Darce found a souvenir for Stuart!

Then the flight back - which was fast and really smooth. 

Actually in both directions (out and back) the BA crew really looked after us. I’d go as far to say that they spoiled us. They gave us four little bottles of gin, some tonics, some glasses, and a bottle of champagne to take off the plane. ✈️ 🍾

A lovely little day trip.  Thanks Darce!
