Prague, Czech Republic 10/28 - 11/03



Often referred to as the "Golden City", Prague was like Krackow on steroids.  A much bigger mid-evil city that was virtually untouched by WWI, very beautiful.  I arrived in Prague on 10/28 from Frankfurt by train and bus which offered great views from the windows.  Prague is a pretty popular destination in Europe, so the hostile was pretty crowed and lively, which made for some fun times.  What also made it fun was that my sister Angela meet me in Prague after her week of work in London for 3 days in Prague.  Prague is known quite well for the Prague Castle, which sits high upon a hill.  To get to the castle, you can cross a couple of bridges, but the most well known and used is the St. Charles Bridge.  The St. Charles Bridge has many statutes, street artist vendors and great views which make it a place that you can spend an endless amount of time at.  Me and Ang did a day trip from Prague to Kutna Hora for a change of scenery, where the  Cathedral of Our Lady, or Bone Church as it is called, is the main site to see.  The church has chandeliers, pyramids and sculptures made out of the bones of over 40,000 people, its pretty amazing, yet creepy at the same time.  The exchange rate also makes Prague a nice place to stay, it is pretty affordable to eat, sleep and drink in Prague.
