Prague on a Segway


 
Yesterday we set off early to explore Prague in the Czech Republic.  We headed for the main square and not long into our trek, we came across a guy giving free rides on Segways.  Of course we had a go, starting with Iain and Alex and eventually, once we were hooked, he told us the bargain deal for an hour tour of Prague on a Segway.  It was BRILLIANT!  They are actually rather easy to ride and the guide took us all over the place on a route through all the interesting bits, up cobbled streets, through alleys, past the smallest street in the world that a good sized Kiwi would never make it down.  Across the bridges from side to side and through buildings!  We had a great time and it set us up to have some small geographical understanding of where we were going.

Highlights: 

The guide was from Serbia and his name was Alex, so everytime I would say some thing to Alex, he would think I was talking to him.  “Alex you’re going to fast”  “Alex, don’t go so close to the road”  “Alex, that guy totally checked you out!”

We past a guy walking a tiger cub of some description!

Segways can do donuts, but not wheelies.

We did it before the streets got RIDICULOUSLY busy.

When we had finished the guide gave Alex his phone number!!!! AS IF I WOULD LET HER CALL HIM!!!?????


Alex and Alex




The man with the cub!!! Seriously a cub, walking up the street on a chain.  I am surprised it didn't eat all the other little handbag dogs people also had on chains!!!
