Praha - 7/13-14/07

Transportation for this trip was a comedy of errors. From missing our first train in the morning (not that it mattered, it turns out we still got to the terminal before we could check in) to getting back in Amsterdam 2 hours late thanks to a flight delay, it seems that every mode of transportation we took resulted in unintended consequences. Thankfully, the majority of the time in Prague was spent walking around the city.

The first thing we did was to go to our apartment to unload our luggage.



I'm starting to think that the trick to booking a room on trips is to only care about how secure it is. As nice as our apartment was, the most I used it for was to sleep for a few hours and take showers.

Our first day focused around the Stare Mesto/Karluv Most area. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.









The city itself was packed to the brim with tourists. Surprisingly, the majority were not Americans. Everywhere we went we met Germans, British or Danes.

Our second day was spent on the west side of the river, by Prague Castle. The highlight of the castle compound was the St. Vitus Cathedral.



Visitors are able to ascend the right tower, which allowed me to take these shots of the city of Prague.





After climbing down from the Castle we went back over the river to the Nove Mesto area to grab some food and walk around. While Prague was incredible, we decided for Sunday to leave the crowds and head on out to Plzen, the capitol of West Bohemia.
