Prague 02/25-02/28

I went to Prague last weekend. A bunch of friends from BSM and I got on a bus at 4 on Friday afternoon, had a pit stop in Bratislava, and arrived in Prague around 11:30 Friday night. Since it was so late, we just went out to eat and then went to our hostel. I've never stayed in a hostel before, so I don't really know what's good and what's not, but I enjoyed ours. After all, I wasn't sold to some rich psycho for them to torture and murder like in those movies. So, I'd say things went pretty well. Plus, I got free breakfast.

On Saturday, we went on a free tour of Prague. We got to see a ton of really gorgeous architecture and we heard some of the history of Prague too. It was amazing. Some of the highlights included: Prague Astronomical Clock, Prague Metronome, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle (largest castle in the world).

On Sunday, for the first part of the day, we went to the Jewish quarter and explored a bunch of their museums, cemeteries, and synagogues. The second half of the day was spent exploring a new part of Prague on our own. We found a really beautiful area that overlooks the city. We also found a playground and spent a good chunk of time there.

Our bus left at 11:30 on Sunday night and we got back to Budapest around 6 in the morning. Some people had class at 8 and were a little rushed. Luckily for me, I had no classes so I got to come home and sleep. Prague was a ton of fun.
