Prague... what a beautiful city, it definitely met my expectations. Our host was Stepan, he walked us around pretty much all weekend! Right at the first bridge we walked across, I had to stop.. the river is just lined with beautiful, colorful buildings! It was soo pretty!
And that was the beginning.. it seems like there is probably no ugly building in all of Prague, they're all architecturally gorgeous! We went across Charles Bridge which has statues liming the sides and there are people selling art and playing music all along it. There is also a wonderful view of the river, and the buildings all along it, along with the view across the river of the buildings and the Prague Castle as you walk across.
Later on we went to Old Town Square, there were TONS of people, because they were lighting the tree! At first it was a little exciting because we had no idea and this is just a cool thing to experience. But then, after it was over.. there was just a ton of people; we couldn't move.. we were stuck, there were soo many! I did hear a lot of English which was kind of cool, but it felt like a crowded concert.. we kept being pushed together, it became hard to breath! At one point Stepan turned to us and yelled, "I don't know what to do!" We felt helpless.. Then Liz yelled back an awesome idea, "Follow the stroller!" There was a stroller by us, so we decided to follow it in hopes that people would stay clear of it. And we made it! We got out!! It was wonderful.
After that craziness, we decided it was time for food. We made pasta carbonara! It.was.soo.good! We rock!
The next day we went across Charles Bridge again, this time during the day. There were many more venders with art which was cool to see. We decided to go back to Old Town Square as well, to have some positive memory of it, because yesterday night with all those people was horrible lol.. then we went to Prague Castle which was really cool because it isn't just a castle, it is a village, if you will, within the castle walls! We decided to go back to the castle a bit later because there is an alchemist section that cost money earlier in the day, but was free after 6pm! Basically Liz and I had one big photo shoot lol. It was great:)
Later that night we watched a Czech movie, found a host, and then packed up because we were headed to Krakow in the morning!
I ended up staying less time than I had planned though, because I met up with Liz (from San Diego California - the one I met in Gent and we also met up in Amsterdam), and decided I wanted to travel with her for a bit to Krakow. We're on our way to Krakow, Poland now!! On a train.. that has free Wi-Fi! AND tea, water, and cappuccinos!! Best decision ever!
Note to self: smetona is a coffee creamer packet.
Also: beer is cheaper than water in Prague.
