Prague, well what a fantastic city, we were only meant to stay a few days but ended up nearly staying a week. It was just so old and the city night line always took my breathe away. Some of the highlights were the Charles Bridge, the Castle, Opera House and the Jewish Quarter.We stayed in this cool little hostel 'Elf' where we met some really ni...

Hi Everyone, So it's been a while since my last update so I have a lot to catch you up on! The past three weeks have been really busy with traveling, visits from family and friends and more traveling! First trip was to Paris. I went to Paris for the weekend of the Nov. 17th through the 19th for a quick visit. We started our journey by taking a b...

So last night Andrew took us (along with some unsuspecting people from the hostel) on a wild goose chance to find a bar we had been to on Friday. It failed. But we stumbled across something else and after a beer and Ashley making some comment about Castro having an artificial anus, the lengthly, useless, around about walk no longer seemed to mat...

So the anal sex jokes have just continued. Bottoms has become a running joke, as has "I am German!" which is a quote from Yana. (I don't want to explain it in case a certain person has received their surprise yet.) However, for my family, this line has become my new "I was in Waltham." There is also some running joke about Drew shaking like a Me...

I started my day off by trying out the hostel shower. Not awful, but its one of the small square ones where the shower head is not well made for anyone over 5'6". There is a button you have to push in where it makes the water go for a few min and then it stops and you need to push the button again. (kind of like some sinks back home in public ba...

So Prague, like Brussels, has a good amount of hills. We went to a bar last night that was up a serious hill. I have no idea how people drive on this in winter in a stick-shift! We spent the evening hanging out with a few other people from the hostel: Adam, from Andover, MA originally and now living in Orlando, FL, and Cynthia and Veronique from...

So I had planned to start yesterday by going to the National Gallery, to see the extensive collection of 20th century art. Things didn't quite go as planned. First I confused the National Museum with the National Gallery and ended up walking to the wrong place. Then, I figured out the National Gallery was at the Castle, which was good because I ...

Well, we are all of a sudden in Prague. The last few days have been extremely busy, what with meeting up with Chelsey and Glenn and Dad and keeping the latter two straight. Since Brugge, we travelled to Frankfurt, met Chelsey, slept, were woken up by Glenn and Pops, travelled to Rudesheim, took a Rhine river cruise up to Koblenz, met Chelsey's f...

I was still feeling kinda ****** when we got to Prague (physically), but Geoff and I both felt we had a weight lifted off of us. Just the 2 of us worked really well. It was wonderful for food and deciding what we were going to do to be EASY. With 3 it had felt as if we were all pulling in different directions all the time. I feel like a lot of m...

yep yep... Prague at last, just arived an hour ago from 8 hour of train ride from Salzburg to Prague. The trains must be remenants of the early communist time, and most of the smel's and indeed people on them are from those times too... but all in all i made it. I will only go out exploring tommorow, so ill have to update again in a couple of da...

(By Bri) PRAGUE!! Here we are in the former Czechaslavakia, now the Czech Republic. We took a 7 hour train ride from Salzburg all day on Thursday (travelling is exhausting!!) and arrived at the Hlavni nadrazi (main train station) at around 7 pm. We found the hostel we planned on staying at, Hostel Elf, and they had space for the next three night...

And we climbed and dropped into Czech Republic. First impression: Did that sign say Czech or Vietnam? ... Each country has its visible minority immigrants, and for Czech it was quite visible from the multitude of border shops selling everything from cigarettes to alcohol to ceramic dolls to 1€ sunglasses, where Robin cashed in to replace hi...

We have arrived to the gem of our trip! We love Prague so much. It is cheap and beautiful. Our hostel, Hostel Elf, is in a pretty good location. It has an awesome atmosphere with some of the best people yet. Our room yesterday was with two people from Boulder (crazy, it was an all-colorado room)until two Irish brothers from Belfast came in later...
