The day has finally arrived! I'm all shopped out and packed and ready to go. Only our flight has been delayed by 6 hours! I'm actually in Newcastle airport now at 6.20pm, we were meant to be flying around an hour ago, and now we won't be leaving until 9.30pm tonight. We were told this grim news by Easyjet when we got here 3 hours ago, and were given a voucher for refreshments to the value of £3.00 WOW! I'm sure that will keep us going for 6 hours in the airport at airport prices :-)

But moaning aside the time is actually going quite fast and I have my trusty laptop to keep me entertained together with a trashy romantic novel I have just bought.

So we'll be arriving in Prague at about midnight tonight. I should mention that "we" includes my travel companion, and long suffering fiance Tom. I have gone a bit mad booking tours and various things to do in Prague so it looks like we're in for an action packed week! This all starts with a 4 hour tour of Prague in the morning. We're getting picked up from our hotel at 9.30am and then have a Prague tour partly by coach, partly on foot and the rest by boat. Should be fun, and a good way to get our bearings on our first day we thought.

Other things I have booked for us during the week include a pub walking tour, Prague dinner cruise, Czech folk night (bit worried about this one!) and a castle tour. Oh and a night at the Theatre too. Not sure yet if the play is in English so could be in for an interesting evening.

That's all for now, I'll update once I am in finally in Prague.  I'm really looking forward to getting there and checking out our hotel :-)
