Ahh Prague... What can i say but Ahhh Prague.... Caught a train that took around 4 hours to get there. Even on the train all i saw was houses in hills next to rivers. Its was amazing. The window was too dirty and those pictures never come out good with reflection, so i couldnt take a pic. Stayed at a place called Miss Sophies. A bit of a girlie hostel, but it was nice. It was actually in the new town of Prague, which isnt new its only like 500 years old compared to the old town, which is much...

Less than five hours after I landed in Prague, I was 10 meters away from the stage at the Sazka Arena watching Moby live for the fifth time. On the bus ride from the airport I saw the concert posters, and after checking into my ridiculously new and nice hostel Miss Sophie's, I jumped back on the metro towards the concert. Tickets were still available, but strangely only the good seats were left. The local Czech kids have a hard enough time affording the U$30 cheap seats, so those went first. ...

Hey all I know its been a while, but I am safe and having a great time. So I arrived in Prague on May 23 in the afternoon, the hostel there was great one of the best! Prague is to beautiful for words, it is everything you think it will be and more. I spent my first full day exploring the castle which is really like its own town. I saw the royal gardens, walked down Charles Bridge, saw most of the new town, and the main shopping area. After a full day of sightseeing I was too exhausted to go o...

So the original plan was to get from Interlaken to Bern, then catch a bus to Prague. But of course, as we all know, nothing ever goes according to plan. Not when you have the planning skills of me, anyways. When I got to Bern, I spent around 2 hours circling around the spot that I had located as the bus depot. But it was a simple parking lot. Turns out, Eurolines just pulls a bus up there, checks tickets and takes off. I assumed that there was no way I could buy a ticket from the driver, and...

Okay I'm not really sure how this works... But hopefully it does. We stayed at Miss Sophie's hostel, which is incredibly nice for a hostel. But enough about that. Prague was great. VERY touristy compared to Brno, and honestly not really the Czech Republic experience. In Prague, the vendors/store owner/bartenders all WANT to know english because it means business. In Brno, knowing english doesn't really matter, as students are really the only english speaking citizens. The result? In Prague, y...

Well I woke up feeling better, so we headed to Prague at 8:45. It is about a 2 and a half hour ride from Brno. The weather in Prague was cold and overcast. We stayed at Miss Sophie's again, which is definitely one of the best hostels in the world. Literally, it's ranked top 10 online. I am saving all of the touristy stuff in Prague for when Lauren is here, so we showed them where it was and told them we'd meet up with them at 5. In the meantime, Matt and I found a pub to watch the football ga...

Riiiiight, my first step in Eastern Europe. I had heard so many stories of this place during my travels and life throughout. Tales of hookers, and Absinth, and porn, and drugs unknown to the Western World. I set out more out of obligation than true desire...as if I was obliged to make a journey out to this part of the world. What started as simple duty transformed, with the utmost haste, into one of the most intriguing and stirring experiences of my entire life. I arrived, as most blokes do, ...

left Berlin in the morning of the 20th and had to get a ticket for the boarder of Czech republic to Prague first, so i stopped at the ticket counter and tried to explain to this non English speaking agent what i wanted. i even got out the map and explained only here nothing else, don't need reservation for Germany portion as i have eurail pass and reservations are not compulsory on this journey...she got so frustrated with me, she started turning red in the face, she had written down two pric...

Day 8 (Tuesday, 3/6) Prague I once again took advantage of the Wombat breakfast and left Vienna at the leisurely hour of 10:30, to arrive (by train, of course) in Prague in the early afternoon. The train ride was made shorter by a conversation with yet another Aussie who shared a compartment with me and offered me lots of advice for what to do in future points of my trip. I found a hostel right away, put away my backpack, and set off on a self-guided walking tour to the castle area. Being ter...
