hello prague.

so today was our first full day in prague! we had a tour of the city this morning. our tour guide tatiana, split us up so my group went with some other lady who was funny too. we started out taking the streetcar up to this castle. it was really pretty. there was still lots of snow on the ground so it was so pretty. we also saw this awesome church. there were tons of tours going on and people everywhere. at this point it started raining and was so nasty and cold and miserable again. at least this time i remembered my umbrella so that was nice.

out in front of the castle were guards in these little dog house things (kinda like you would think in london) so we took some fun pictures with them. we also saw the changing of the guard. all of a sudden all this crazy music started playing and soldiers started marching down the road. they did all of these crazy maneuvers and switched up lines. at this point it was so nasty and cold out that we stopped into this little cafe and got the best hot chocolate ever. seriously so yummy, and pretty cheap too.

we kept going on our tour. we had to walk down all these crazy ice covered steps. poor aubrey fell and got all wet. we walked around old town by all the shops and stuff. it was really cute. there was a nice road with tons of really nice shops like dolce & gabana. too bad i'm too poor to shop there.

after the tour i came back and crashed and then showered and we went on a dinner cruise. it was sweet- we had the whole boat to ourselves. we got dressed up and ate dinner while we cruised down the river. the food was pretty gross- it was all salty and just nasty. but it was nice to just hang out and relax. we could go on top of the boat and see the city all lit up, except that it was insanely cold. every so often the boat would stop in the locks so they could raise the water level so that was kinda cool.


oh and last night was really fun. everyone went to this cute place called double trouble and it was so much fun. i like hanging out with everyone, hopefully that will continue for the whole trip but we'll see.
