Leaving Zlin, Night in Prague

As the saying goes, all great things must come to an end.
And the Metros trip to the Czech Republic was coming to a close.
We stopped up at the PSG Arena to collect our hockey gear before stopping off for lunch.
It was at the Rectory we said thank you and goodbye to Michal.
Then we headed off down to the station to head back to Prague for the night.



The train ride back to Prague was less invigorating than the one to Zlin.
We were all knackered and slept the entirety of the duration.

We arrived at Hostel One near the Old Town in Prague around dinner time.
Wanting to taste the "culture" we ate at a suggested restaurant that turned out to be fantastic.
Definitely the best pub food I've had in a while.



After dinner we all headed into the Old Town looking for a good night out.





Unfortunately, Ashton was sucked in by some American girl telling him about this great bar.
The only thing great about that bar (aside from leaving it), was they have college ball on.
Though, I'm not too keen on the Big East ball since State was playing at the time.





Paddy, Martin, Steedman, and myself left the rest behind and went on our own adventure.
Which ended up at McDonalds-- if I'm honest.

And as far as winning or losing went, at the end of the day, it was all about the experience.
Granted-- you always want to have a winning mindset, but I digress.
Not very often do you get an opportunity to play a great team like UTB in a distant country.
We have all made new friends to keep in contact with-- the point of international friendlies.
We all have to thank UTB for being such great hosts!
I know I had a fantastic time and was really pleased how smooth everything went.

Until next time.
Three cheers for UTB.
