Checkin' it in the Czech Republic! Praha- Prague!

PRAHA
Leaving Germany was so sad because Munich had been spectacular. I was starting to feel like a local since our hotel (hotel Maria) was smack dab in the hustle and bustle (truly German) part of town.


Some Krons, you'd think I was rich! but sadly this is the equivalent of about $20 lol but you get around nicely with this.
Me at one of the many Gothic style Cathedrals
The sadness faded away when we realized the fairytale-esque town we were going to be staying in. Now, I can only speak for Prague because that's where we stayed but it was beauuuutiful and also a lot darker than the other cities-literally. It was significantly more cloudy and most of the buildings were very haunting in old town Praha. 
Alana and I about to see a movie in Prague (we saw Angels and  Demons-complete with subtitles lol that we didn't need)
on the Bridge, touching the golden dog will make your wish come true or bring good luck, one of those! (Alana Bevan photo)
The city is fairly large and can be sort of maze-y. Alana and I had the best gnocchi EVER better than in Italy then leaving the restaurant we got lost, i mean LOST. Separated from our group, no knowledge of Czech or the name of our hotel, no phone-nothing. After about 2 hours of walking late at night in and out of streets/dark alleys/and a mcdonald's (to seek help/refuge)/getting into a fight lol we hailed down a random cab and we happened to have the hotel card in our pocket (but we couldn't read it) and handed it to the driver. The tab ended up being around $20 but it was worth it! We made it back safely. 
Charles Bridge Prague




We visited the Daliborka Museum/ Prague Castle (old torture location for prisoners) there we found a curious surprise: 

Vin Diesel?! You decide. (Alana Bevan photo)
The next night after exploring the heart of Prague, the astrological clock, walking the bridge, going into even more cathedrals (not helping my chandelier obsession!) we went out, and BIG. :) After taking the subway to another part of the city we arrived at the coolest club ever complete with cheap beer lol called 

>Karlovy Lazne night club, a FIVE story club with a different theme on each floor. We all had an amazzzzing time!

The Disco Floor!!!

Starbucks, we will always find you! located in the main square, by the Astrological Clock :) (Alana Bevan  photo)
