[Prague is the] prettiest gem in the stone crown of the world...
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I have to agree with Goethe here. Prague is simply beautiful, but I haven't seen all the other gems in the stone crown of the world, so I won't be that firm about it.

Anyways, yes, my honeymoon in Prague was wonderful. We planned around 5 days there and I feared that would be too many. Yet I haven't been bored there at all and haven't even seen everything. Of course we've seen the highlights, such as the Old Town with its' Astronomical Clock, the Charles Bridge which connects the Lesser Quarter to the Old and New Town (which contains the Wenceslas Square with the National Museum at the end of the square (it's really rectangular, not a perfect square ;-)) But of course we've also seen the Prague Castle with its' magnificent St Vitus Cathedral.

But the highlight (to me) was (again), the Sedlec Ossuary in Kutna Hora. Very bizarre! The fine art made out of human bones is just marvelous to see.

I did notice Prague got (more) expensive though. When I first got there, you could get half a liter of Pilsner Urquell for about one, two guilders (roughly half to one euro). Now you would pay two to almost three euro for it. Still cheaper than The Netherlands, yet the bars seem to have embraced the expensive euro and taken full adventage of it. Luckilly a somewhat decent chinese meal would only cost you two euro.

And of course it was awesome to hear the famous greeting, used very often by Borat: Jak se mas!

Feel free to look at my pictures (and yes, I did buy an Ushanka ;-)
