Yes, made it to Prague, Czech Republic (forgive the czech in time pun). The train ride here from Berlin- in a word, beautiful. The train tracks followed the river in a valley for several hours, which swept upwards into large hills (small mountains?) covered in stunning black rock walls and trees with changing leaves. There were even a couple castles along the way.
We're staying in a great B&B/Hostel here, that I think is actually larger than our condo (yeah I know, it's not hard to beat that), with high ceilings and a full kitchen. Very nice though not much furniture :) (see the photo).
We ate traditional Czech food tonight- I had beef goulash (think beef stew but spicy, with dumplings on the side to soak up the sauce) and Matt ordered a crazy beef with cream sauce and whipped cream and rasberry jam (also with dumplings). This sounds insane, but was really good - and who knew that your dinner could also be your dessert???
We also got to wander around after dark, across the "royal road" and toward Prague castle- it looks beautiful, though I'm not sure my photos reflect it- I didn't have my tripod along so it was hard to take good shots. But you can get an idea, and better photos tomorrow.
That's all for now, more (daytime) photos tomorrow :)
YAY PRAGUE!! One of the most AWESOME places I visited!! I remember the dumplings for the sauce, mmmmm... Hopefully you had a delicious pilsner urquell to accompany it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome time train ride too! I am highly jealous! :)
