We made it up for breakfast this morning and have spent the day wandering around the Mala Strana area which is on the other side of Charles Bridge to the Old Town. We walked up the hill to a place called Neozobik where we stayed when we came to Prague in the winter. It looked so different in the sun and is a great spot to have a drink and fab views over Prague, probably my favourite spot in Prague.
It's only about a 10 minute walk up the hill from the city centre but you feel as though you are miles away amongst the greenary and its so quiet and peaceful. This is also a great restaurant too. Well worth making the effort of going up the hill for. You can take the cable tram up there too if you don't fancy the walk.
For the night we had booked a Dinner Boat Trip at 7.00pm with live music. When we got there we got shown to a table and offered an apperitif. The pre-dinner drink and food was all included in the price and we had to pay for wine and any other drinks. The house red wine was nice though and good value.
The buffet was really good with a wide selection of food including salad, cold meats and hot dishes including chicken, chips, pasta and vegetables. There was also a table absolutely full of cakes for dessert. You could go back to the buffet as often as you liked, and we made the most of this. During and after dinner a jazz band were playing, and you could also go up on deck to watch the scenery from there. All in all I'd say this was one of the best excursions we did.
