For those of you who don’t know, I was in Prague for the last 4-5 days! I went ahead by myself, and met up with E, P & A on the night of the 17th. It was a really fantastic trip.
Day 1, Wednesday: Woke up at 5am to catch my 6:42 train. I am not a morning person. ;-) But I love train travel, so the trip itself was very nice. I even got some work done on the way!
I arrived in the mid-afternoon, and I walked to my hostel. It was really lovely! Welcoming and clean, and the owners really made me feel at home. Met a really nice girl from Mexico who’s studying in Switzerland. It was great to chat about our experiences.

After I dropped off my things, I went for a walk in the Old Town. See the photos! (Click to enlarge.)

Hi M, this is S from the choir at home! I've been following your blog on and off-it looks like you're having an amazing time! All your pictures are lovely, what a nice area!
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd comment on this post because of an interesting coincidence: a few days ago I was studying Smetana "Die Moldau" in my history course, and now I see you actually went there! That must have been really cool to see.
Anyways, we miss you at home, but I'm looking forward to hearing about your further adventures!
