Birthday!

Waking later as there wasn't the blazing sun of the previous days I flicked the curtain to reveal the gloomily predicted grey skies. But after my tea and when Ed had decided it was a reasonable hour to get up, we had a special breakfast in the van with pink champagne and Czech pastries. I had four cards too! And some more at home.

We spent the day wandering: Prague Castle, the opposite side of the river to the city, was more of a fortress than a castle, then we retraced now familiar steps to some shops for a few birthday purchases. It was 4.30 by the time we arrived back at the campsite so not much time for a nap if we were going to catch 'happy hour' at a swish cocktail bar in town.

The evening was fantastic. After a Pina Colada at the bar with its wide sofas and plump cushions we made our way down a side street to the Thai restaurant suggested by the Lonely Planet and that (fortunatley) we had dug up earlier on. Definatlty worth it. I had a cod dish with spicy vegetables and Ed had beef in a thin red curry sauce served in a bowl, we shared rice noodles with chicken and peanuts. After we continued our night exploring a few of Pragues hip and hopping bars. I had maybe a cocktail too many but it was a really fun night. Big thanks to Ed for making it special!
