Sorry for not writing for a while, but we've been busy!
After our tour of the concentration camp we went on an Berlin bike tour. Our guide was great and super funny! The next day, Brendan went on a Third Reich bike tour and I went on a Raw Berlin tour. My tour showed the night clubs and street art parts of Berlin. It was okay, but not really my thing. Brendan then went to the zoo and I went shopping (and bought a book)! On our last day, we walked to a shopping district (we both bought a pair of Birkenstocks) and Brendan visited the Natural History museum while I read in the park. The next day, we headed onto the 6 hour train to Prague!
We accidentally got off a stop too early, so we had to catch a subway into the main station right off the bat. To further complicate things, when we had looked up the directions the night before it apparently showed us the night bus directions and not the day bus that we needed. We walked all around the train station trying to ask people how to get to our hotel. It was super frustrating. Finally, someone told us how to get there! The directions were a little off though, and we ended up walking for a while with our big backpacks. When we got to the hotel and asked to check in, they sent us across the parking lot to the sister hotel. This other hotel was absolutely terrible. The room had 2 cots and thats about it. Since we had booked through Hotwire and told we would be staying in the nice, big hotel we went to complain. They told us that Hotwire tries to do this with a lot of guests, and that we could pay 20 euros a night to upgrade and then send the receipt back to hotwire for a reimbursement. After all the hassle, we finally made it to our lovely room! It has two bathrooms, a king sized bed, a mini fridge and lots of space! The biggest room we've had so far (including the hostels that fit 10 people in them).
Today, we went on a Prague bus tour which briefly showed us all the major sites. Tomorrow we will be taking a closer look at some of the stops that interested us most!
Miss everyone at home!
It's a crazy city Prague. I loved all the Gold Statues everywhere as well as a huge main square with a "Hero" riding a horse carrying a sword held high in the air. Tons of people were all over it and the energy was infectious.
ReplyDeletePart of the journey is in the unknown... sometimes it's great to embrace that too Sam.
