Day 4 - Prague



Day 4 was our final day in Prague! We spent the first part of the day doing a castle tour, which I must say was not very good since we didn't even get a tour guide! All we did was visit each area and take pictures!


The spent lunch in a nice bar/restaurant type place and the food was very good, most of us were very happy with it.


We then got back to the hostel afterwards, did some last minute packing and headed to the Airport. We committed a bit of a blooper at the airport, since we lined up to check in but we didn't realise we had already checked in! Afterwards we then did our class quiz, in which questions revolved around the class members and most of them were pretty funny!

We then caught our flight and headed to the airport, where we were met by Steph DC's mother Denise Duff-Cole. She took myself, Steph and Kaleigh to Braintree where we got picked up by our parents, and then took the rest of the class back to Colchester.

Day 3 - Prague



On Day 3 we spent the whole day at the Traditional Czech Festival, we had a great time and we got to watch live music, as well as experience traditional czech food and drink. Some of the others also went on the rides which was fun to watch, but I can't experience how they felt actually going on them! We had a tad bit of trouble finding the location prior to getting there, but we got there in the end.



In the evening, we chilled out with each other.

Day 2 - Prague

On Day 2 we woke up early and headed into the town centre for a walking tour. We visited several of the main area's of the city and had a fun time. We learnt a lot and also took a lot of pictures of nice places. In the evening we went on the river cruise which for me was the highlight of the trip. We got to hang out on the deck of the boat and chat whilst experiencing some of the nice views, and it looked even better at night.

Day 1 - Prague

Today we flew in and settled into the hostel. The flights weren't too long either. I stayed on the first floor, which I'm fine with. The hostel is really nice as well since there was internet access, lounge area and an outside area which was nice to visit in the mornings. In the evening we were desperate to find a place to eat, and we ended up eating in a small pizzeria.

Presentation done + preparing for car wash

Tuesday night we did the presentation for our parents, where we outlined all of the key components such as accommodation, transport, flight details and the itinerary. We considered it a success even though there were some problems with the contact details (oops on my part).

Tomorrow we do our car wash which is the last fundraiser we do before we fly out to Prague on tuesday afternoon. So far we have 18 bookings (currently).
