Prague

A couple of weekends ago we popped up to Prague to visit Lolov and Basia and baby Olivia.  Well we didn't just pop, we took a long roundabout way as in avoiding one major lot of traffic we stumbled into another and then had to do a major diversion due to other roadworks.  Took a bit longer than we imagined but not too bad.

Lolov has worked with Matt since we came to Munich in September 2000 (that was 12 years ago! Heck!) and since then he married the lovely Basia who is Polish but not as mad as Magda who is also Polish.  Magda and Nigel were planning on a big cycle trip to Prague and meet us there.  Unfortunately Magda had a huge accident on her bike the week before and was knocked out receiving 14 stitches in her head.  That's what sunglasses do to you.

Anyway, I digress.   The last time Matt and I were in Prague was for our first wedding anniversary and in November it is much quieter than the beginning of September.  This time we took the metro to the centre and fairly marched through the square avoiding all the tourists and the set up for the Prague Marathon.  Actually the whole of the main city was busy.  Not really a great thing with children, or me really.  We had a bite of lunch by the river and took a boat trip which is quite nice.  Then we pushed through the masses on the Charles Bridge and dropped Matt and the children off at the playground while Nigel, Magda and I climbed up to the castle.  A bit of a mad day but very nice and the children were great.

Sunday we went to a quieter nice park area for a stroll and lunch with some former work colleagues of Matt's who I knew.  It was all very pleasant and then we came home.  A quick trip!
