10:10 PRAGUE
**WARNING: LOOOONG POST. But worth it because hi, Prague is awesome.**
The conclusions I have come to after staying in Prague these past few days are more than one: --
1. Facebook in Czech blows my mind
2. The food here is fantastical (and tastes like home for me..)
3. Prague has way too many spiders.
Getting to the hotel from was quite the adventure since I was by myself (meeting my sister & mom there..) and it involved some sort of combination of buses & trams of sorts. Also the book that my friend from Azerbaijan, Sulik, gave me was out of date and had the wrong tram lines on it. Fun! Nevertheless, I made it when I decided to walk from some stop to my hotel and accidentally caught eye of the tram I needed, ran onto it, and somehow managed to stay on without paying for it. ;)
After napping, the three of us went to a café near our hotel and got lunch. (*Note:* Prague's food is wonderful because it is not soaked in oil like a lot of places, so for those of you who are trying to stay healthy, Prague makes it easy.)
Then we went for a walk along the river and got all the way to the Karluv Most (Charles Bridge). I suggest going there early in the morning or later in the evening because there were a LOT of tourists. Nonetheless, it was wonderfully full of street musicians, statues and little stands selling pictures and random things.
The next day we went to Prazky Hrad (Prague Castle) and literally spend a good six (yes, count them) hours there. It was a nice castle and we saw the changing of the guards. We saw the St. Vitus Cathedral, which was huge and gothic. (Much like everything else in Europe, but I can never get enough of the ridiculously beautiful architecture.) We also stumbled upon a little street that used to house soldiers but is now full of little shops for tourists.
Overall, I loved it. Prague is small, quaint, and perfect for a 3-day weekend.
On to Vienna!
