Old Town (Stare Mesto) Prague

After a very slow start lounging most of the morning away in a jet-lagged stupor, we decided to get off our duffs and check out some churches, Karlův Most or Charles Bridge, and the Mala Strana area of town. Before heading to Prague's most famous bridge, we made a quick stop at St. Nicholas Church on Staroměstská Náměst&# …

Another long train ride from Berlin to Praha (we're getting better at them though...). After the initial shock of not being able to pronounce any of the Czech words...we actually found the hostel easily enough. It was hands down one of our favorite cities so far, and our hostel definitely didn't hurt. Our room was rally modern and almost like a …

First of all, thank you all so much for the congratulations and kind comments. It is nice to feel so loved and supported.

Second of all, we - thankfully - made it to Prague! This is a very interesting place. It is technically located in central Europe, but it is much more similar to Eastern Europe. It is very different from anything we've …

Prague Castle is beautiful and full of …

We've seen a good deal of western Europe so far, but you know what? The east isn't so bad either. Granted we're in the western most part of the former Eastern Bloc, but hey...

After enjoying a 5 euro breakfast consisting of omelets, various meats, cheeses, juices, and sweets, we saddled up for today's bike tour around the historic city of …

Acordamos cedo pra aproveitar bem o dia: às 8h já tínhamos tomado café da manhã e saindo do hotel.
Percorremos o mesmo trajeto do dia anterior. O dia estava bonito, com sol (apesar do frio). Dessa vez, subimos na torre do relógio astronômico para ver o visual da cidade lá de cima. Valeu a pena. Super legal!
Seguimos até a margem do rio …

Llegamos a la noche tarde después de un vuelo batidora. De allí nos fuimos a la ciudad vieja de Praga donde habíamos alquilado el departamento. Nos estaban esperando, rápidamente nos mostraron el lugar, increíble te enorme y del siglo pasado. En un momento la chica nos dice en ingles: "this is your room" y ahi entendimos …
