All this dazzled me so much on the first couple of days, but once you step outside the old town Prague wasn't the most appealing city on the trip. The main train station in particular was so filthy and full of bums and the stenches coming from the building were putrid. Not to mention the rude staff! The city outside of the Old Town had really nothing to see but sparse, dirty areas. It was almost like they have tried really hard to keep all the tourists in one spot, The Old Town, and totally neglected everything else. And for me, this is why Prague seemed really fake once you took it upon yourself to explore outside the comforts of the Old Town.

There were tourists in the thousands too! It was the Easter weekend so the place was swarming with tourists. It was so packed sometimes that you couldn't move anywhere! To escape this we went on a pretty cheesy paddle boat ride along the river and bathed in the sun and chilled in a park along the river. It was a fun relaxation!

It was good to leave bustling Prague on Sunday and wind down in Cesky Krumlov, a small town about 3 hours away on a lovely little river that weaves its way through the town. The place was gorgeous and there was nothing scummy about it! It was, however, overun by tourists but I have to remember that I am one myself! There were so many cute little streets and restuarants, including the fantastic Medievil style place that cooked as much meat as you wanted on a huge open fire grill! I had a feast! We also went on a bike ride 9km away to some caslte ruins. The ruins were great but the bike ride not so much - I now know how unfit I am!!
