We arrived in Prague and then, guided by Jo, who had spent several weeks there before meeting up with Macky for Paris, made our way to Jo's brother, Simon's, place where we were being put up with for 3 nights. After a quick trip to a decent, cheap pizza place we had an early night
The next day was spent doing very little, we did a large amount of washing, played a bit of xbox and watched a movie. Macky and Lewis went and did some shopping while Jo and I had lunch at a little cafe next to a park. Spag bol for dinner.
The following morning I awoke several hours before the others and spent the morning out on the balcony, reading, listening to music and stewing in frustration. The reason for the frustration was that the 3 nights we were spending in Prague would be our last 3 in mainland Europe and the others had rejected my suggestions of Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Krakow, Zurich, Helsinki and Kiev as they were "too expensive", "had nothing to do in them", "too far from London" or "too hard to get to" and then suggested we go back to Prague as we "wanted to spend more time there" but weren't doing anything and had nothing anyone wanted to do, not to mention that we all had enough money to justify seeing another awesome city especially having bypasses Scandinavia completely. It was to a degree my own fault as I conceded Prague, although I did so as they had rejected every idea I proposed, I was over trying to make plans and they claimed there was more to do. It felt horribly wasteful of 3 precious days and put me in a fairly angry mood for a couple of days.
That afternoon we spent walking around the city, seeing sights we had already seen, and then in the evening went back to a restaurant we found the first time and was good before checking out black light theatre. Black light theatre is a very strange sort of stage show, performed under black lights where only things at the very front of the stage or painted in florescent paint are visible. The quality wasn't amazing and the story a bit convoluted but it seemed to be a comedy about Dr Frankenstein travelling the world collecting body parts to create his monster and falling in love with a series of women and was worth seeing just to experience the style. The others were very unimpressed but at least it was something new.
The next morning we woke up early, said our goodbyes to Simon and made our way to the airport for our flight to London.
