A short break in Prague May 2008

I guess my wanderlust got the better of me after a break from travelling in my previous career when I saw various newspaper headlines about cheap stag weekends in foreign parts. Never having been behind the old 'Iron Curtain' before I was intrigued.  On investigation I found that I could fly to Prague, stay for a couple of nights in a hotel see the sights on foot and return for a very reasonable price. As with most eastern block countries the tram system is very effective and cheap. It is a pity that most UK cities did away with this form of transport in favour of the car.  It is amazing how much ground one can cover in a day or two. I was fortunate that my hotel had both old world charm with modern amenities. The staff could not have been more helpful and the dining room was excellent.
