Last day in Prague

Walking home from the pub reeking of cigarette smoke there was a large explosion. Mel hid behind me and I was heading to get under the closest car. It was like fireworks except with out the pretty colours. There have been about 3 or more since. What is it about these European towns and their loud bangs in the night.
I succumbed to the masses and bought a wheely bag today. Was so proud of myself because I looked at 2 shops first to compare prices and thought I had myself a good deal until...
Heading down to the metro n the way home and what do I spot? 50% off luggage. I swore a lot for the next 20 mins as this is the story of my life. I am always missing out on the bargains just around the corner.
Anyway back to my (gold plated) new luggage. It is packed and ready to go in the morning. The only trouble is is that my pack is also packed ready to go!!! Where had I put everything before my new purchase?

Upon arrival in Prague I thought the cobbled streets were beautiful however after a few rides around town I must say they are not the most comfortable  to ride upon. I feel sorry for the car what must this vibration do to the nuts and bolts of the motor vechile. I have also observed when walking upon these beautiful cobbles that the gaps are filled with smoke butts and doggy do. I would not like to be venturing home on these with a few (Ummm... A few more) under my belt.
Cabbage is the other thing I have been thinking about. I had noticed this odd smell on my arrival into Prague and especially on public transport and after last nights tea I have realised that Czheck people eat too much cabbage and it is not good for the digestive system.
We walked across the Charles bridge today with a throng of other tourists. Getting a photo was absolutely hopeless as you tried to avoid heads in your picture while holding onto you bag with the other hand to avoid the pickpocketers. We followed this up with more local Kai for lunch and a visit to the train station to sort out tomorrow's trip back to germany?this will include crossing into Austria, a change of trains so fingers crossed we make it all the way to passau. 4.15 wake up in the morning so might head to bed now.
Oh nearly forgot... I had a lovely surprise when arriving back to the hotel tonight as I had a bunch of beautiful roses delivered from my baby girl. What a lovely surprise.
