Prague- Part 2

Band: Circus Problem

Our second (and last) day in Prague (if you haven't already, you can see the first post here!) took us to Charles Bridge, the most beautiful bridge I have ever seen.  It really is incredible, lined by statues on either side and absolutely packed with stalls and people. The views are absolutely insane too! You can see all the muddled buildings jostled together and the city working all around you. It was really surreal to turn around and seeing the gorgeous castle stood there behind the yellow bricked buildings and grand gateways.
As we reached the end of the bridge we realised there was a lot of music and commotion just underneath where we were standing. It turned out to be the Kampa Island Carnival, and it was so much fun. There were a load of stalls selling hot dogs, hot rum and wine (just what you need to warm up) and cakes, a band (check them out here) playing Balkan Music and hoards of people in fancy dress. When we were dancing down in the heart of the crowd, a woman dressed as a bumble bee actually came up and drew yellow hearts on our cheeks (which we then walked around with for the rest of the day, haha). We were pretty lucky to catch it at such a good time to say we knew nothing about it!
I really enjoyed my time in Prague! I loved seeing the city so so much, it definitely lived up to my expectations. I was having a conversation with someone the other day about which cities I rate the most that I've visited, which city was my favourite, whether Prague was in my top 3, and I honestly can't say. Everywhere I've been is so so different and I love little pieces of everywhere. I loved the food in Rome, the laid back feel of Copenhagen, the coziness of Bruges, the architecture of Paris, but I can't pick my favourite thing from here, or rate it. It was just a really wonderful place to be.  Every city I seem to like goes up there in my favourites, and I now have so many I could never choose a top 3 or narrow it down in any way!
I hope you've enjoyed seeing a little bit about my trip in these past two posts. I love having photographs like these to share with you every now and again opposed to me rambling on about nothing in particular!
Have a fantastic week,
