Hostel 5 Plzenska Prague

... town to try and find the bar. Unfortunately it was pouring rain and it was very hard to read the street signs in the town. We got lost and decided to just head into the old town square and jump on a pub crawl. Our tour guide Isaac was running this pub crawl and it was called Clock Tower Pub Crawl. There must have been over 50 people on this pub crawl. This pub crawl went to 4 different bars/clubs, included a free tshirt as well as the first hour at the first club we could ...

... In fact, my hotel was walking distance to the Prague Castle which offers beautiful views of the city, Wenceslaus Square, and Old Town Square. I undertook my own self guided tour of the city The buildings were majestic and filled with history. Since my tour guide was pretty clueless about the city, I had to stop in at a local café for lunch and some sightseeing tips.

In a mall rivaling Fashion Valley Mall (yes, shopping malls are one ...

... tree type thing.  Next to that was the "Story of Prague Castle" museum that showed a chronological development of the castle's development with various artifacts discovered over time.  The St. Vitus's Cathedral was amazing.  It took some 600 years to build the place and is absolutely massive.  It is full of gothic carvings silver sculptures, and enough gorgeous stained glass to kill your camera battery.  After lunching at "Bohemia Bagel" (thanks again for the ...

... an allegorical commemoration of Antiwar Day, marking the 69th anniversary of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia." Really interesting to witness. At this point I met back up with Andrew, Drew, and Ashley so we could trek back to the hostel and get dinner. Note on Prague architecture: The buildings are all amazing! It feels like I am walking around in a fairy tell, with these ornate pink, yellow, and white buildings with turrets and balconies and statues.

... with my boots and my super warm wool turtleneck and coat that is thick enough to be used as a sleeping bag. After the bridge we found John Lennon's Wall which is pretty cool - love that kind of graffiti, especially since it would always look different and never stay the same. We stopped in a smoky place to have a beer and hot chocolate - like the ones in Copenhagen and Zakopane but I've now learnt to stir all the cream into the drink - makes it taste WAY ...

Greetings Have been held up by not having access to Internet and i have about 5 days to catch up on. We both had an odd nights sleep last night as the owners of this hotel make th beds up differently. Its hard to describe it adequately but tonight we intend remaking it to our way and catch up on the lost sleep. Wake up was 7am, breakfast at 7.45 and we left at 8.30am. The Continental was average. The first part of the Coach tour around Prague was ...

... St now has a New York end as well???). We were looking for the Jewish Museum, but didn't find it (the tourist information place we went to seemed to have an affiliation with a Jewish tour group and insisted that the museum was actually a precinct rather than a building, but if we joined the tour for a couple of thousand crowns that we'd be able to see everything...not strictly correct as we later ...

... again, waited again, rang the bell, waited and finally banged on the door. I heard a voice above me, and looked up, to see a man leaning out of a first floor window. -Erm, hello! I´d like to camp -OK -How much is it? -100crowns -Where should I go? -Anywhere This exchange was later modified, when he had recovered his senses, to 200crowns and you´ve pitched your tent in the wrong place. I had enough for the pitch, but I was hungry, and I didn´t have enough left to buy ...

... would at least be able to catch some sleep. We set off exploring the city by foot, heading for the major city square. The square was very beautiful with an eerie statue in the center, surrounded by an old cathedral and decorative buildings. From the square we headed to the river which had amazing views of the castle and old town, or Small Quarter. We crossed over the Charles Bridge( constucted in the 13th ...
