Not sure what I was thinking to attempt 2 city breaks in the space of a couple of weeks.......with kids!
After a successful trip to Madrid (and great weather!) I was starting to get a little nervous about our weekend in Prague.......driving the 730km to get there.......not to mention the packing (again!!) and getting there in time to meet my mum for the weekend who was flying in (much more civilised!!)
Well everything went to plan and I actually bottled out on the drive all in 1 go and booked a small family "pension" (hotel) in Germany just before we reached the Czech border to break the journey up..........also a beautiful part of the world to see :-) Of course we virtually drove past where my sister now lives in Regensburg.........shame they were away otherwise we could have dropped in for the night!!! Anyway - our overnight stay was great (after getting stuck in some horrendous queues on the motorway for well over an hour about 20 minutes before we were due to get off the motorway....VERY annoying!) ........small village, in the middle of forestland, very friendly and huge room for all of us..........dinner there was typical German....plenty of sausages (kids uber happy!) lots of sauce and huge portions!!!! Including puddings, wine (needed a fair few after that journey!!), beer etc we even got change from a €50 note......amazing! Kids even had time for a quick game of crazy golf before we set off in the morning!
Back in the car with not too many moans and groans and we were soon entering Czech REpublic........no passports required at the border. One of the first advertising signs we saw was for good old Tesco......almost tempted to stop!!!!!! Thankfully Ruby slept and other 2 watched a film and we reached our destination without too many problems!
Hotel was fantastic - for any of you wanting a nice weekend there we stayed at Santini Residence which was great location other side of charles bridge (bit away from the MAIN square!!!!!) and the rooms were probably the biggest we've ever had...........pat on the back to me I think! My mum was impressed anyway and even Shaun made several positive sounding comments (so even he must have been impressed..........doesn't happen often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Good weekend - great weather - Happy Easter!!
Here are a few of our pics...............
View of the city from the park...........with cable car to boot!!
Little Easter display
Ruby discovered the fun of scooters......especially when someone else pushes!!
So how does the green beer taste? Ordering normal beer for his 2nd probably tells you all you need to know!!!
The mud and soil still wins hands down!!!!
Grandma keeps Ruby in tow!
Kids in heaven with enough Easter eggs and chocolate to last them the 7 hour drive home and some!!!!
