Aaron- Adventures in Prague

Hey peeps, some of our gang took a weekend excursion to Prague and hot cats it's a cool city. To get from Buda to Prague we had to take a seven hourish train ride. Despite the length, the trip had some really great views of the country.

We got there around night time and the city was looking pretty good when it was all lit up.

#artsymetropic  the subways are really fast in Prague.

We stayed at a hostel (Hostel Mango) that is situated real close to the heart/touristy area of Prague. In the mornin we did some explorin and took a guided tour around the city, here some pics of downtown Prague

These next couple pictures are from the Charles Bridge which has some nice views.

During the day the bridge is super-packed with tourists, merchants, and live musicians.(Notice the Kafka museum! He's from Prague from what I understand)

Previous two pictures are of old market square (I think?). They use to execute people there back when that was a thing. Now it's crowded with tourists and clocks and pubs and other kinds of shops. 

There are alot of cool churches (like most European cities). It feels like your in an RPG in here and at any point the end boss is going to stop playing the organ and come rushing at you with a giant sword. Maybe that's just me though.

Here's a view overlooking the city. This is where the castle (don't know what it is called) is situated.

Here's a group pic in front of the castle, it is really big!

And in the gift shops around the castle you can find beer and wine cosmetics. So after a long day of drinking you can hop in the shower and after you are all clean, the wonderful smell of beer still stays.

We also found this statue nearby. The story/rumor goes that the communists took this guys penis away and the people weren't to happy about it so they gave him a gold one as a replacement. The more you know.

Anyway, the city was really beautiful (and clean too). We stopped at a couple pubs and restaurants along the way and I don't really eat meat but the rest of our group does and they said that most of the food they tried was pretty fantastic. The first night we stopped at a little pub next to our hostel where we all had some Pilsners (Czech beer) and quite a bit of sausage and cow liver soup(I think that was what it was?). It was kind of like a little medieval pub with stone walls and barrels and stuff. Everyone seemed to enjoy there meaty meals. Prague is famous for their sausage and cabbage dishes from what I understand. The next day we stopped at another restaurant where one of our group members ended up getting a whole duck (at least that's what it looked like) delivered to them. Meat is a pretty big thing in Europe ( I had some potato soup which I thought was quite tasty regardless :) ) They also have alot of absinthe stores in Prague. Some of the bottles were pretty freaky; there were giant beetles in some of the vials...  I'm pretty sure though all they really do is get a bunch of Listerine and changed the labels and put weird artwork on them. Just my opinion though...

Best
