Prague 2013 - Day Two

Get ready for a photo heavy post! Our second day in Prague was full of excitement as we had planned a trip to Zoo Praha. George and I love any kind of animal experience, I think it's because we can mess around with our cameras, see animals, and most excitingly sometimes get to feed something (normally sheep or goats). So Zoo Praha was top of our list.

Rising early we jumped on a tram, and then edged* past groups of children to get the bus the rest of the way to the zoo. It was a beautiful day and many of the animals seemed to be out enjoying the sun.

Next stop was the elephant enclosure, and we were lucky enough to see a baby elephant out with the herd. Needless to say we grabbed the best spaces on the viewing platform and didn't leave for quite some time.




We stopped for some yummy dumplings (me) and pigs knee (George) to plan the rest of the afternoon. Although we had spent a good few hours at the zoo, it's so large with so much to see we just had to continue round and see everything, including polar bears!









Otters are my absolutely favourite animal so you get two photos of this playful fellow.



As the afternoon was drawing to a close we made our way back to the hostel to get ready for the evening, as we were going to an absinthe bar.


I have to take responsibility for this choice but in my defence I had tried absinthe before, that my housemate had brought back from her trip to Prague, and it didn't taste too bad; it was just like really strong, burning cough medicine. I'm not sure what was different with the absinthe we tried in the bar but it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted (but it looked so pretty).

I'm afraid it was so bad, that after a few sips we abandoned it and ran to finish the evening with some beer and food to take away the taste.
