10-Aug-2008: Prague with Choc and Marni

During our visit to Prague, we met with our friends Choc and Marni who live in the city of Dresden which is a few hours away from Prague, just over the border in Germany. Choc, one of Jesse's mates from uni, recently moved to Dresden to be with his girlfriend Marni who is currently studying there.


Prague reminded us very much of Paris, although everything was much cheaper. Beautiful old buildings and interesting history. Prague even has it's own version of the Eiffel tower which was built in 53 days in 1891 - although much shorter than the Eiffel tower itself, the locals love to boast that the height above sea level at the top of their tower is greater than the Eiffel tower - although the Prague TV tower is situated on the top of a hill!


The castle in Prague is the biggest landmark of the city and is one of the biggest castles in the world. It looks amazing lit up at the night time and the buildings inside the walls are just as impressive.
