Mums, don't read any further

We got into Prague and straight of the train we noticed the drop in temperature. It wasn’t snowing like Austria but so so much colder, about -5 but bright and sunny. After a quick tube to our stop and then a 10 min walk (on which I’m sure that I contracted some sort of frostbite in my fingers) we arrived at our accommodation. Again we’d booked on laterooms the night before and when we arrived we were a bit dubious as the area wasn’t really the type you’d bring your mum to impresses her (if ya know what I mean). But this was the piece de resistance as far as late rooms went. For mere pennies we had landed a apartment that was better than our place at home, full kitchen, big king sized bedroom, living room, massive shower and all the mod cons.

Sweet right, well kinda. Rach was getting pretty sick and skipped on going out the first night and just sat and watched Czech Cable TV (a mix of French news, Algezera and some more dubious channels). I was going to go for a wee night walk but turned around within five minutes before I turned into a popsicle.

That night as we (well I) slept and enjoyed the balmy 23 degrees of our room, Rach woke up in a bit of a sweat and did a midnight run to the bathroom. A few minutes later I woke with a crash bang, then silence. Jumping from bed and running to the bathroom I came in and saw Rach sprawled on the ground, eyes wide open staring at the ceiling not moving. Within a few scary minutes she came around and there was nothing broken but a big bump on her head. We worked out that the temperature in the apartment had rising to 26 degrees in the night and as Rach rose from her business she had a head rush and fainted, crashing into the shower door and slumping to the floor with her head resting on the shower curb. Ever seen that add where the guy slips in the shower and cracks his head, well it was like that.

Obviously I didn’t get any pictures of that little encounter (I was too busy making sure my wife wasn’t dead or paralyzed). But that day I did get some images of a TV tower that was round the corner from where we were staying. Not so interesting right but look there’s baby statues climbing it????

I didn’t get it either. But there they are just climbing up and down. Hmmm…..
