Traveling to Prague

Today we embarked on another grueling train ride, this time from Berlin to Prague. I finished an entire book on the trip and Ben got through most of his before dozing off, these train rides are exhausting. 

The train ride from Berlin to here was beautiful though. There was one point that we looked out the window to see a wide, winding river that we followed for awhile with large cliffs on the opposite side and lush fields between us and the river. There were wonderful looking homes in this area and we both imagined how cool it would be to retire to a place as beautiful as this. 

We got to Prague and bought a map first thing, and dropped our bags off at the hostel. Following our friend Jessica's advice (she spent a semester here last year) we went to dinner at kolkovne and each got a classic Czech dish and beer in order to be apart of the culture here. 
Walking through the streets of Prague is incredible, every road and sidewalk is made up of brick pavers and cobblestone, and every building seems like is either very old and well kept, or simply was built to look old fashioned. Either way the scenery is a sight to behold. 
Tomorrow we are going on a free walking your and are very excited to see more of Prague!

  1. You must be tired after everything you have done so far - more places than a lot of people go in a lifetime ... and you still have 2 weeks to go. But I am not sure how the train journey is tiring. I guess all that reading is hard work on the brain!
    Everyone missing you at various grad parties (all great fun) and very jealous.
    Pace yourselves ... lots more to do!
    Love, Dad
