Back into Prague for our last full day. We made our way to Wencesles Square, snapshotted a few sights we hadn't yet seen and then spent a bit of time shopping for gifts, and pants for Mark.
The previous night we'd met a couple of Americans at Pet Penez, one of whom was keen on going to see a church made of bones about an hour's drive away. Mark and I were keen so headed back out of the city in the early arvo to see if we could meet with her (we'd left a note at her hostel that morning). Turns out our note must have missed her, and we had no idea where to go, so we went back to our hotel, moved all of our stuff out to the new hostel, had a shower and then went back into the city to see Czech play Ghana. A great upset for us (as Aussies) to see, but the Czech folk weren't too impressed.
The atmosphere was nothing on the Germany Poland game in Dortmund, but it was still pretty good to be there.
We wandered around, looking for Sip and Joe who we missed catching up with, but then later found a nice underground bar with a big screen showing the night's game of USA vs Italy, along with a cute waitress out the front, and some American fans in the basement whom we could cheer against.
Even just the two of us making usual game-time noises must have been a bit much for the yanks, one of them gave us the finger when they scored, which we found hilarious, especially when we saw the replay and found it was an Italy own goal anyway!
Dinner done with, we went out the largest night club in Central Europe. This was quite a bit better than I remembered it, it had been cleaned and the top story was opened; a chillout bar which was a good place to go to get warmed up.
Mark and I danced the night away with various girls and the odd (one) queer Swede, spending most of our time on the 60's-80's floor just to be daggy.
Gotta love Prague. I'm glad Mark's going back on his Contiki tour so he can buy me a painting!
