Czeching it out - Prague Photo Essay

So last week I was over the moon to get to spend some time exploring the Czech Republic. I spent a weekend in Prague, eating in beautiful cafes, walking around the castle district and just taking in the beautiful scenery and architecture that is so typically Prague. I then spent a week in the quaint and gorgeous small town of Nove Hrady in South Bohemia just next to the Austrian Border. I doubt I would have ever really explored South Bohemia of my own accord and never would have found Nove Hrady, But I'm so glad I got the chance to.

My trip to the Czech Republic was all part of the Newcastles of the World conference 2014, and was a fantastic opportunity to spend time with old friends and new, as well as discuss issues effecting young people in towns across the world. Every time I've attended the conference I've found myself coming away amazed at the skills I have learnt and developed, and the ideas I've gained from such interesting people. It's definitely a week that makes me proud to not only be a Geordie, but to be part of the Newcastles' family.

I’ve got so much I want to tell you about the trip, both about the conference and the places I’ve visited that I’ve decided to split it between a few posts. Prague was just so beautiful, and I was lucky to visit with some rare April sunshine so here are a few of my favourite photos.
