CZECH please?!

Czech Republic...May 3-6ish

First stop: PRAHA (or Prague in English - which Jess and I don't get - why do we have to change the names of all these towns in all these different countries?!) it just confuses everyone.

so we currently have 4000 dollars in our hands. well not really but it still feels great!! if only a meal didnt cost 149 CZK. our hostel was just ok - - but far of the beaten path which made for even more walking for us...well or maybe just a few extra times that we jumped on the public transportation risking a fine or two : / lucky for us and $ we happened to jump into a free bar crawl our first night as well! we may have been in our 'track suits' but that didnt stop us in the end! we just had to hang out with the Canadian studs that we had met in the city square : )

the following day we went on the free(naturally) NewEurope walking tour where we 'saw the sights'...this includes some things such as cathedrals, the famous astronomical clock, Mozart this or that, Charles Bridge, a museam or two, and so forth. our tour guide was very entertaining none the less!! we later stopped in for some lunch and just so happened to run into some new Aussie friends (Benjamin and Tommy) that we had met in Poland....this must be a sign (well for Jess atleast)...no more details there. we made the best of the rain and cold weather and had a good evening!

our last day in Prague we walked some more - imagine that! we went up and up and up to the castle and huge cathedral and saw the John Lennon wall and impressive bridge band and more original art than i could handle to pass up along Charles Bridge...some day i will fill my home with this stuff. to get out of the cold we went to the cinema and watched Iron Man 2 (very good) and we had a late supper with Benjamin and Tommy!

over all a good stay in this beautiful city.

Second stop: Cesky Krumlov - hitting high on our top favorite places so far!

a very small, peaceful, unique, and midevil place. this is one destination that has withheld the test of time and stayed true to its past! located along a winding river, surrounded by rolling hills, and an interesting hilltop castle. a place where one day was enough but having more time would have been okay as well. highly recommended and so so so nice to get out of the big city life! ...a good spot for photos : )
