Hostel U Melounu Prague

... out to a bar. <br><br> When I did my walking tour of Berlin I met a girl who guides the same tours in Prague and I was supposed to go on her tour the next morning, but of course due to the previous night that did not happen. By the time I got out of bed it was blistering hot outside. Some new Scottish friends and I walked around for the afternoon and enjoyed the sunshine (sunniest day in Prague history?). We ...

Prague Blog! Well I am once again leaving another city. Only this time I will come back to this one. I am leaving right now for Brno, still in the Czech Republic, to visit a friend from first semester – Hanka. I didn’t feel like I had enough time, but I’m flying from Prague to Athens on the first on June, so I’ll be back, at least for a short while. So I ended off my last blog on the train from Berlin. Actually, there’s a weird story to that. I booked a seat before I left ...

... long and short of it the Rangers won 2-1. And I had an awesome time. How cool, right??? So today is my last day in Prague, I leave tomorrow for Vienna, Austria. So today I am going to go explore Prague Castle and the grounds there, the biggest castle in Europe I am told, so pretty excited about that, that should be a lot of fun, I am sure I will have lots of pictures from this part as well. So I am off now to go do some more exploring. I miss you all.......

... the entrance fee and all, we headed to the market again to have a look around as most stalls were closed yesterday due to the rain and time.. Lunch was nearby at a Czech cafeteria like restaurant. You'd pick up a tray and piece of paper and order what you like, then pay at the end.. Our meal costs just over 200 crowns, and that included dessert and coffee too! Afterwards we headed to the KFC (yes, we finally found one in Europe!! Well, we ...

... is a magical city with the best features of all the cities that we've been to on this trip. I think that it's been particulary fascinating since the two of us are really into history and it's amazing that this city wasn't damaged in either of the world wars. We signed up for a few of those walking tours (and brought the average age of the tour attendees down by a lot) in order to get a perspective of Prague's history beyond ...

... decided to meet up the next night to get together. When we got off the train, it was quite jolting. The train station in Prague was beat up and graffitied, and quite frankly gross. We took a taxi to our hotel, the Intercontinental Praha. It was like night and day. We got checked in and then headed out to explore. The hotel is right at the end of the "Parisian" street that goes to the Old Town Square. Wow! We were like, "look at that!" and "omg, look at ...

... kitsch, like a wannabe Euro-trasher who would show up at piano bars and say things like "This next song is a personal favorite, and it goes out to all the ladies," and the drunk was such a hit that it was great fun sitting there watching people's reactions, giggling, snapping pictures, the occasional kid coming and giving him a poke with a stick or plastic sword. It was even how I made friends with Bez and Liv from Sydney -- they wanted a picture but weren't ...

We left Berlin last Sunday, and took the train to Prague, where we spent three nights. There was a crazy old retired professor (he was actually crazy, which we discovered as the days went on) who offered "off-the-beaten-track" walking tours of the city, so we followed him around on the first day. Although he had a lot of interesting tidbits about lesser-known places, as the tour went on we found ...

... t but help thinking that Disney has a hand in the running of the town. Everything looks beautiful and perfect, especially in the old town, and there is a gift shop everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. I was a little disappointed when we first arrived, but finally began to realize that the reason it seems so Disney is partially because it is such a magical city. I wouldn't want to spend to much time in the main squares or crossing the Charles bridge, but every nook and cranny has a new and ...
