On New Year's eve, we decided to hike up to Prague castle. The weather was perfect. Not too cold and the walk sort of warmed us up. The scenery while walking and hiking up and down the castle was pretty.
Along the way, I stopped to try the waffles on stick that was sold beside the road. It was delicious.
And soon, we arrived the castle. It was swarmed with tourists. We, of course, had to take picture with the guard by the entrance gate.
There were other architectures beside the castle like St. Vitus Cathedral which is the largest church in Prague. We didn't spend a lot of time around the castle area.
After that, we headed back down and went to the town's 'Silvester's' or New Year Eve's market to grab a bit.
In the evening, we got ready in our apartment, made a toast and headed out for dinner and afterwards for the NYE countdown.

| The ladies. |

| Oli ordered ribs which was amazingly delicious! |

| I ordered lamb shank with potatoes. Pretty good too but not as good as Oli's rib. |
After dinner, we waited for the countdown in New Town Square instead of the Old Square because we were told the Old Square would be very packed with tourists. And as customary, at the stroke of 12 midnight, we kissed and toasted to 2013. Possibly the most happening NYE I've had because usually, it's always with families and we'll do BBQ and lit up our own fireworks. But come to think of it, I kinda miss that too. Simple, familiar and just nice.
Some pictures to show you how it went down. :)
Speaking of 2013, let's just say, this year will be a big year for us. We're entering into another new phase that comes with big changes, new and challenging things. We'll share it another time. :)
