Travel: Prague, Czech Republic
Well, it’s taken me a while, and i do apologise, but here is the second instalment of photos from my recent drive through (and around) Europe!

While it was totally worth the drive, it couldn’t quite live up to what i’d already experienced in Dresden! Nonetheless, a romantic city with breathtaking architecture.
Tip: The outlet shopping village just outside the city provided some serious cut-price retail therapy!
