Dekuji: Prague

After a couple days in Dresden, it was time to leave the drizzly city and head to Prague. Wandered around lots yesterday with a couple girls I met in the hostel (one is from California and also likes to climb rocks, the other from Germany) and we checked out Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the Old Town areas.

Castles! Huarrah! 

You think I learned my lesson in Amsterdam, but somehow I ended up doing another pub crawl. The night ended with Petra (the girl from Germany) and I falling asleep on the tram at 3:00am and waking up to the driver kicking us off. Mind you it was 40 degrees outside and raining. Got on another tram, showed our torn up map to a Czech woman and she pointed out where we were - completely off the map. After a solid hour and a half of taking trams, trying to find a taxi (never found one), being completely lost and wandering the freezing cold streets of Prague, we made it back to the hostel. I actually shed a tear I was so happy. All of that and our hostel is only a few miles from town.

Learned about the history today on a little walking tour and ate the best kielbasa. Not sure if kielbasas are a Czech thing, but it was amazing. The hostel I'm at is also amazing - great staff, awesome people, and they have homemade cookies. For anyone planning on visiting Prague, it's called Sir Toby's. And it's only 170 Korunys per night (just under $10). I'm excited to eat some vegetables tonight! I went to the grocery store and broccoli has never looked so good.

Dekuji (thank you) Prague, I'm coming back someday.
