9th May (continued)

to get up onto petrin hill, we got to take this thing called the funiculum (not sure about the spelling), which is a tram that heads upwards. 

here is us in the tram. we're not photo-taking whores, and have taken very few photos of ourselves, so enjoy this one while it last. :)

the station we're leaving from.

midway on the ride. the view's always damn good around.

we didn't want to spend a lot of time at the top of the hill, as we wanted to scrimp on the tickets (one ticket's like usable for a set period of time, so if you take the tram again within the time limit, you don't have to buy a new ticket). there's an observatory on top of the hill, which we went to.

seeing that we didn't go there when it was dark (and it gets dark only like after 9pm), all we could see was the sun. which was still pretty fucking cool. for some reason, when we look into two different eyepieces, one showed the sun yellow (we didn't see any dark spots, and the person said to come back in a few years' time to see them) and the other, red. we could see like little spikes pointing out from the sun though, so the sun that we drew in primary school with the spikes surrounding it? we drew it correctly!

went to the charles bridge after that, which apparently james bond was shot. no idea which one, as i'm totally not into the franchise. kind of lazy to get photos up too, as all we saw were tourists and like little pushcarts/stores thingy. where's the performers and interesting people mentioned huh?

and then it's back to the hostel.

by the way, carbonated water seems to be a lot more popular and cheaper than mineral water in prague. all we drank was fizzy fruit water, like orange, peach and grapefruit. so it's like drinking soft drinks all day long.

and shopping in prague? try not to do so. it's a lot cheaper buying the items in euros/pounds.
