Just got into Prague a little while ago, and I'm already in love. It feels like Florence! Old, with windy cobbled roads and colorful shop fronts. And our hostel is right in the middle of the old town!! And the hostel helper is SO sweet and our room is lovely, with a big window that looks right out onto the street. Free giant lockers, fully functional kitchen, towels and excellent free wifi!! What more could I ask for? Yes, cheap traveling leads to an entirely new set of standards.
A quick review of today: checked out of the berlin hostel bright and early after successfully making oatmeal in my coffee mug, then walked with my giant hiking backpack to the Gemaldegalerie art museum. Wayy longer walk than I anticipated, so I stopped and treated myself to a frozen yogurt. Yes, at 10am. It was delicious. The art museum was FANTASTIC- faves represented: Botticelli, Raphael, and even a couple caravaggios and bronzinos! Big selection of later Flemish and Dutch painters, but I'm not as into that.
After that I fairly smoothly caught the correct subway-bus-subway combination that got me to the Prague city center by 7:30 pm or so. Sauntered to the hostel and now here I am! Primo and Tommy should be getting in around 11.
I can feel a travel second wind coming on! Tomorrow will be officially 3 weeks straight of travel. Woo!
Much love,
Erin
