So Prague did not fall flat! I got off the train at 1:30 and even while wandering for my hostel I was already gaping at the buildings. There is awesome buildings all over the place! Though I may have wandered down some wrong street because I was looking up instead of at street signs, so I carried my pack a bit further than I really needed to. Oh well!
It was so warm here that the first thing I had to do was take a shower from carrying my stuff. Then it was time to explore. I went to the Charles Bridge, climbed to the top of Petrinske Hill to the Eiffel Petrin Tower (Though I did not climb it. Too expensive!), checked out the local vendors, and roamed Old town and the Jewish Quarter. I also had to stop at an electronic store and buy a new converter plug, because like an idiot I left mine on the train. But I'm good to go again now!
I also enjoyed a klobasa sausage which was delicious. Then I later found out what it is made of. Pork, beef and bacon traditionally. Of course I liked it! I also had some ice cream as I wandered and called it good. I think I found a bakeshop I am going to try here this morning before I really get wandering again. I also found the shirt Rachael always wears that I think is really cute. They all say Czech me out! on them. Didn't get one, but I was excited to spot them.
Did I mention that my current roommate is Danish? I took that as a sign that I am on the right track here. She is from Copenhagen, and just recently got back from visiting her family in the states. She is also a violinist and we spent the evening talking music last night. This has only cemented in my mind, that I think Denmark is going to be amazing!
Today I have to go buy my train ticket north for tomorrow. Hopefully I'll make it to Hamburg, since that is so close to Copenhagen. It will make getting there to meet my family much easier, because I would arrive only about 35 minutes before they would land. We'll see though, it depends on routes. So...off to the train station! BAKESHOP! Then to the train station! Then out and about!
