A Weekend in Prague

Just got back from Prague. I am seriously sooooo worn out from this weekend. Prague is one amazing city! There was so much to see. We literally walked all over the city. Well, Praha 2 anyways... and I can certainly feel it in my thighs! I don't know how we managed to see almost all the touristy spots in one day and have a nice dinner with a B-E-A-uuuuuuuutiful view of the river. It was sooo beautiful there. I think I would love to go back and just hang out there and do the not so touristy stuff. :)

The hostel was a little *dodgy. (*By the way, I think we've been picking up some Australian English lol) It was called A plus hostel. That in itself sounded a little sketch, but they also had sex republic blankets and some sketch pictures on them, which made us feel a bit uncomfortable that we were having to sleep with them. Who knows what has been going on there. Ignorance is bliss, let me tell ya. lol The breakfast there was really good though.. so I guess I would give it a 2 stars in terms of hostels. The bus ride ride was a little rough, and not to mention the bus driver was really unfriendly because I didn't speak anything other than English. haha It was interesting having to rely on mostly body language. All in all, though, it was one super fun weekend//adventure. Here are just a couple photos. I am literally about to crash. Have a wonderful week!





Love,

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

We didn't exactly get to see Prague/Praha as we expected to. We actually made it to the Czech Republic, but they wouldn't take our euros, which they are usually supposed to), and no one spoke English OR German. Then there was a lot of confusion because the person who dropped us off didn't know whether to pick us back up, and in the middle of our conversation, the cell phone lost reception, then died. lol String of bad luck.

View from the bus stop.


At first it was a little upsetting, but then we were able to fill our stomachs with some spaghetti and french fries (yay for french fries!). Then, we made friends with a random taxi driver and soon we were partying it up in the backseat of the taxi all the way back listening to early 90s dance music like La Bouche. lol Anyone remember them? Those were some good times!

Anyways, back in Germany... did some hiking, which I was never a big fan of, but I get the feeling I am going to have to learn to enjoy it soon. :P Fall is so beautiful! I love the colors, the smells, the crisp air... the crunchy leaves. Favorite season of the year, by far!











Sorry, guys for all these personal updates, but I've been doing so much traveling. It's my first time EVER in Europe, so it's so hard not to blog about it. I am hoping I will be able to get more editing done this week and squeeze in some wedding related posts. :)
