On A Train

Hazaah Prague was amazing! I will recap my amazing trip quickly here for you!

Annette (irish) and I left on Friday; our flight to Prauge was really early on Saturday so we went a day early and spent the night in Venice. It was a gorgeous evening and we walked all the way from Piazza Roma to St. Marks Square and back (google map it, it's pretty far). We shopped a bit and watched some musicians in the square...also almost accidentally ordered a 16 EURO coke..once we saw the price we ran away haha.
The next morning we bused to Treviso airport and flew the whole 45 minute flight to Prague on wizzair. Then we bused/subwayed from the airport into the city to our hostel. We stayed at Bridge Hostel, about 100 feet from the famous Charles Bridge. The hostel was really quaint, even if we were on the second floor and had to go up A MILLION stairs to even get in in the first place. The location was worth the calf burning staircases. The first afternoon we just walked to the big square, went shopping, and bought our Prague Museum cards. Also, there was some random festival going on, so in the square there was a huge stage set up with live bands all day. That night we went on the ghost tour of Prague which consisted of Annette and I getting told stories by a man in a cloak with a lantern. It was pretty funny, and the guy looked eerily similar to Derek Micholson. Then, our guide told us about some fireworks happening near the bridge, so we went there to watch. It reminded me of Bastille Day in Paris A LOT.
The next day can basically be summed up in three words; walking, stairs, churches. We went to the castle, but the info man refused to give us a map so we just wandered around aimlessly and decided to come back the next day. Then we went to the park to try and see the fake eiffle tower/observatory but by the time we walked halfway up at a 45 degree angle we were like fuck it, not worth it. So we walked back to the hostel and then went for dinner. That night, since it is spring music festival time in Prague, we went to the Philharmonic and saw some famous pianist. It was pretty good, but I would have rather seen a whole symphony.
Our last day we went up practically every tower in Prague. My legs were NOT happy. And also back up the 100-something stairs to the castle. WAH. We stole a map from some dude the second time, so that was good at least. Since we had to get up pretty early for our flight home, we didn't go out that night. Flights back were pretty decent, except they threw out my face wash...the bastards.
Back in Koper now until Saturday when we go to Lake Bled and Zagreb for the day! Travel travel travel...and also essays, cannot forget about those.
