Prague!

So we've made it to Prague. After being spoiled by free internet at our last hostel, it's now back to paying for it in internet cafes, so I probably won't update every day.



The train ride from Berlin to Prague went smoothly. Prague is like another world. Our hostel is right in the middle of things. We are about 50m from the Charles Bridge. We also have a nice private room with 2 twin beds. The only bad thing about the hostel would be that it's on the 4th floor, with no elevator. But it's all good, we're liking it a lot.



Prague is a beautiful city. All this old stuff! :P



Yesterday we pretty much moved in to our hostel and walked around. We tried some of the local food as well. The one thing about Prague though is that it seems everyone is always trying to rip off the tourists, so that takes some of the fun out of it. They try to add little extra charges in everywhere and you have to be real careful to count change etc. I guess it'd be easier if we didn't have to be so paranoid about our money! :P



Last night we went to a bar with two German guys from our hostel. They were really nice guys and we all had a lot of fun drinking and dancing at the bar. We were dancing with a group of french girls and later these older british (I think) guys came in and were ridiculous. I have pictures.



Today we went and saw the castle and cathedral. We walked up to the observation tower, a good 287 steps. While this doesn't seem like a lot, it IS! It was a great view of the entire city however. Mom you'd love it! We also walked through a large park on the opposite side of the river from our hostel. There's this random and huge metronome thing on top of a hill with a great view. After that we went home for a nap. We went to dinner and now we're just hanging out again. Jen wants to take it easy tonight, but I may branch out on my own or with some hostel people to explore more of the city.


Ahoj!
