Golden Sickle Hostel Prague

Having happily written the last entry, your bright spark of a correspondent went up to pay for her internet use, pulling out a 50 zloty note. The owner chuckled as he informed me that Slovakian korunas are not accepted currency. I re-examined the note. Indeed. Not a 'zloty' to my name. Having seen me regularly enough over the years to know that there would be a "next time", he was still smiling kindly when I left, blushing. Currency paranoia now firmly in place. Rest of the week was uneventfu...

Hey everyone!!!  Sorry for the long wait for this entry!  I have been crazy busy what with traveling, and then midterms and papers to write and trips to plan!  It has been an insane 3 weeks!  But now I am back from Paris and finally have some down time to write about Prague.   We left for Prague on Thursday the 23rd in the afternoon.  We had to get to Dusseldorf where we had booked two overnight compartments for the 11 people going to Prague.  The overnight compartment was a decision made aft...

Coming to Prague is the best decision I've made on this trip so far...everyone I talked to was right...it's beyond words. The 16th was a rather dull day...all I did was travel. I booked a flight on EasyJet, which is a European airline that costs much less than most other airlines. The only downside to it is that it typically doesn't fly out of the major airports. So my flight to Prague flew out of Gatwick, which is a ways outside of London and requires a 16 pound rail ticket to get there. Bei...

Returning to Prague about a year after I was here last has definitely been an...interesting experience. It is amazing how much change the city has undergone in only a year, and from my perspective, most of it has not been positive. Within the world of backpackers, and evidently throughout the rest of the world, the word has got out about how everything in Prague was beautiful, cheap, and still relatively tourist-free. I say WAS because even within a year, there is a HUGE increase in the numbe...

Monday morning boarded the train headed for Prague. Train change in Munich and Schwandorf and unscheduled change enroute. Last two hours had a very enjoyable conversation with an attractive young Czech girl. She is a pre med student hopeing to enter Med School soon. Main interst neurological research. Born and still lives in a town of about 1500 but goes to school in Prague which she finds far more to her tastes. Likes Latin and Jamaicn music and once taught Latin dance. First two days in Pra...

We hit up the clubs and bars as well as toured Prague. It was great.

Hello everyone! hope that you are all good. I am actually in London at the moment but finally have some uninterrupted time on an internet computer. Well, where was i .... just arrived in prague - feeling very tired... had a sleep, then went and picked Stephen up at the airport. Managed to negotiate my way through the metro and bus lines sufficiently well to get to the airport about 2 hours early, so then had to sit and wait for stephen to arrive!!! It was really good to see him - nice friendl...
