Hello again,
When I have
more time I will write more about my different classes as I have started two
new ones this week. but first I wanted to go over a recent trip to Prague ! As fun as Germany is I have heard so many stories about
the legendary Prague .
With my girlfriend now being in Germany
for a visit I figured it would be the perfect city to take her to and tour.
Firstly I will say that Prague
truly is an amazing city whose beauty cannot be overstated. Besides this it was
also a very cheap city to visit, meaning our budget could stretch farther than
ever! We ended up eating out almost every night and had a lot of super good
meals. We did four days in Prague
overall and took a bus to get the city.
I have to
say that this is the second trip that I have done by bus instead of by train
just because it was cheaper to take a bus. Being a student and currently broke
means that price is everything for me, even if it means taking a bit longer to
get where I am going. The bus is however growing on me. I think that I might
even be starting to prefer the bus travel over train and would recommend it for
anyone that is thinking of doing a couple of tours through Europe. This time I
booked through a company called student agency. The buses for this company were
pretty large, spacious, and comfortable. Everyone got there own leather seat
that reclined quite nicely. On to of this they serve hot beverages and having
reading material. But the real joy for this 6 hour trip was the screens put
into the back of every headrest. This made my trip pass by very quickly as they
offered many free movies and I enjoyed both the Great Gatsby and Superman while
the bus quickly sped to
Once in Prague my girlfriend and
I spent the first day in a complete daze. Not only did we arrive at 6 in the
morning at the bus station and couldn't check into our hotel till 11, but the
weather was also really bad. As the we tried to navigate the swerving streets
of Prague to
get to our hostel we got thoroughly drenched with rain. We managed to find a
cafe to sit in and pass the time till we could check in. When we finally did
manage to get into our room we almost immediately fell asleep as neither of us
got much sleep on the overnight bus trip. Waking up too late to do much we
settled on doing the best we could, and planning fun excursions for the three
remaining days we had.
The following day the weather was not looking much better. Although the forecast said our last two days would be beautiful! So we did the only thing we could do with the last bad weather day, eat and go to the spa! A beer spa that is. One of the cooler things we did was go to this little gem that we found while wandering the streets. Here we were able to take a refreshing break in a barrel hot tub with our own personal beer tap right next to it. For an hour you got to is in the hot water and drink all the beer you wanted to, both light and dark, and just relax. Needless to say this helped us to warm up after the rain and immediately turned our vacation around.
Feeling relaxed
and ready to go on our third and last full day, the weather had also turned
around, so we took this day to do most of the out door touring that we wanted
to do. This included walking all around the town, checking out a few shops, and
seeing all of the "tourist" sites. These included the beautiful
Charles bridge, astronomical clock, and the 
the last
day was a pretty short one since we had a bus to catch to get back home but we
still managed to fill up the time nicely. We did a very relaxing and nice tour
of the city by boat, where we got to sit and drink a beer while seeing the city
from the water. We also got to visit a really cool ice bar. Everything in the
bar was made completely out of ice, from the bar to the tables and even the
cups. After a few drinks we were all set to sleep on the bus and head home!
