Prague Day 4

I'm sitting waiting to board the plane home so thought I'd get this updated early.

We had a lazy Sunday morning, K went down to the supermarket and got croissants and apples and we had breakfast in the apartment before heading out at about 1030.

The weather was a bit grey today but we only got caught in a wee bit of drizzle once so not as bad as we feared.

We jumped on the tram over to the Exhibition Palace/Veletrzni Palac to see some art. The museum is massive but unfortunately a lot of the permanent collection was closed til next week, typical. However, we did get to see Czech art from the mid 19th century and early 20th century and we paid for the Jiri Petrbok exhibition. The permanent collection was great and included some Mucha. The Jiri Petrbok stuff was great and we were glad we paid the extra for it. I'd recommend checking him out.

We had a wee chill in the cafe after with some deliciously moist chocolate and coffee cake and coffee. There hasn't been loads of decaf in Prague so it was actually my first coffee of the weekend!

We headed back into the City centre for lunch and went to the delightful Mistral Cafe. I recommend it highly, the food was good, the prices were reasonable and it was light and airy. We both had a homemade lemonade, cucumber for K and raspberry for me - yum! I had chicken schnitzel with mash and K had a club sandwich and they were both great. It was a perfect last meal in the city.

After that we just jumped on the metro then bus to the airport and got here too early as always.

Prague airport is weird, we went through electronic passport security straight away but our bags didn't get scanned til we got to our gate. We were super confused wandering through duty free when we hadn't been through full security.

Prague Airport top tip - what they call a food court is actually a really quiet old-school canteen with meals for under a fiver! Gutted we'd already eaten! Some of our fellow Scots were complaining that the food court didn't have a Burger King but I was delighted.

We had a bit of a boon where the screens hadn't announced our gate but the webaite had so we were able to get through security with no queuing. 10 mins later the queue was massive!

Just waiting to be bussed to the plane now but the whole trip has been wonderful. I'd definitely recommend a few days in Prague!
