On Tuesday we arrived in Prague. We left Berlin much too early after little sleep.. Once we got to Prague (on a crowded bus.. 4 and a half hours later), we found our way to the hostel, which was actually really modern looking. It was only 2 metro stops and a 1 tram stop away from the bus station, which really isn't bad. It took about 15 minutes. We checked in, put our stuff in the room, and relaxed for a bit (that's where I wrote the last post about Berlin). We walked like 5 minutes to a Mexican restaurant (closest thing nearby) and ate a SUPER cheap but quality meal. We decided not to go into the city centre, because it was kind of a journey and we needed a day to just chill out. Plus, our wifi was finally on point. The only other exciting thing about that day was that we met the 4th person in our room, who turned out to be really cool and lives near us in the UK. The hostel room was split into two separate rooms with 4 beds in each. We had huge lockers and a lot of space. In the main area of the hostel room that split the two sub- rooms, there was a toilet and a shower room. The hostel was really nice...
On Weds, the three of us (plus our new friend) went on the free walking tour around Prague and got to see all of the different sites of the new and old Prague. We saw the Astronomical clock, a few different churches, the Jewish quarters, and many more sites that I can't really put my finger on at the moment. It was a four hour tour and we learned a lot about the architecture of Prague buildings. Prague is such a beautiful city... After the tour, we met up with one of our friends from the exchange program- Julia. We walked around an Easter market, which was really awesome. Tara (our new friend from the hostel) and I tried figuring out plans for that night, since we heard the nightlife in Prague was on point. All of us walked to Julia's hostel to meet up with Gabby. Long story short, we all met up, got ready and went back to the Easter market. Julia, Gabby, Tara, and myself decided to do a pub crawl (after eating delicious crepes). The pub crawl was definitely interesting and we met some pretty nice people on it. Thankfully, the last pub/bar was very close to our hostel, so Tara and I had walked home directly from it. Oh btw, ALWAYS ask what kind of drinks are free before choosing a pub/bar crawl in another country..
The next and final day in Prague was spent with the four hostel amigos going to a Castle tour. Between the free tour and the castle tour, we saw about 80% of Prague. We took a tram up to the castle grounds and saw an amazing cathedral and had an awesome tour guide who showed us the property. I can't remember the names of all the places up there, but we saw an amazing view of the city, as well as got to see the changing of the guards (haven't even really seen that in London...). After the castle tour, which lasted about 4 hours, we went to find souvenirs and eat in the Easter market. I tried this "Czech" thing that the tour guide recommended for vegetarians, which is fried cheese with tartar sauce and potatoes. I felt so fat afterwards, but it was delicious. We walked to the metro and stopped in various stores, just because. By time we got back to the hostel, we just got ready for bed and packed up our stuff for the next adventure: Vienna.
