Day four - The group disperses to take photos!

Our last day in Prague and all are hungry to shoot something worthwhile for our group exhibition we are holding back in London. Most of us had taken the obligatory shots of the beautiful Charles Bridge and cobbled streets, except for the two Matts who get angry at the sight of any tourist shots. So we all took to the trams, underground and bus network to explore the outer reaches of the city. The whole feel of the city changes once at its outskirts. There are large expanses of wasteland, forests and factories, as well as huge residential areas. One third of Prague's population live in Communist era tower blocks, nicknamed Panelaks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel%C3%A1k I will post up some pictures as students and staff send them in.

The last night we all went out for a group meal to a very authentic, local Czech restaurant... It wasn't the kind of place used to having a group of 35 descending on them and consequently Matt and Carol never got served their meal... The atmosphere was so warm and chatty I don't think either minded, especially as we were all sampling a glass (no more!) of Czech wine.
