First Night in Prague

After a very uncomfortable eight hour bus ride my friends and I arrived in Prague at night. After settling into the hostel, we went into the Old Town Centre and did some walking around. Here is the Old Royal Palace from the other side of the Danube. It was once home to the Habsburgs and the kings of Bohemia.

Now, Budapest has its fair share of cobblestone streets, but Prague really has cobblestone streets - everywhere! They're exactly how you would imagine cobblestone streets to be: uneven, slippery when wet, and impossible to walk on in heels (even though most of the local women do).

Naturally, our first stop was to sit down and get some food.

There is a Czech beer called Budweiser, and (thankfully) it's not the same Budweiser that we have in the States, but it is a sure surprise when you see it on the menu!

Ham, sauerkraut, and potato pancakes - delicious.
