Fun in Prague! Day 10

I am here! We made it to the city of Prague in the Czech Republic! I am surprised by the city! It is really dirty, run down and gritty! It’s unique in its own way! It could be very artsy in its own way. I never thought I would find my self in Prague, but here I am! So here the currency is in crowns, not euros. So it is still hard to tell how much everything is! In euros, the conversion rate was about 1 euro to about $1.50 so at least it is somewhat similar, but not in Czech! It is about 100 crowns to $6.00 US dollars. Weird! I never got use to it! I have a little currency converter app on my iPhone and I used that all the time! I did save some coins if you want to see what they look like! I was going to save crowns, but that would mean I would have use less money sitting around, so I didn’t do that! So on to the food! I think my blog posts from here on out is more or less the best things I eat not everything! There are lots of times, we cant stop and eat for one reason or another so I end up eating something like bread and cheese or nutella! I figured you probably don’t want to see that every day!  J when we got into Prague  then night before we went grocery shopping and we got a ton of stuff: cold cereal and milk, bread, cheese, chips, juice, nutella, and maybe a few others stuff. It only was under $20 US dollars for all of it! Prague was cheap! I loved it! But these is deffanetly a disadvantage to not speeking the language! We got the wrong kind of milk! Or should I say, we did even get milk at all! It was gross! I think it ended up being something like butter milk! So the one on the left, wrong milk. The milk on the right, RIGHT MILK!

we went to the main church here in town and watched the clock go off! There was a ton of people standing around waiting for it to chime! So I thought it was going to be some big huge awesome show… yah not really! Some people came out, a skeleton rang the bell and then there was a real trumpet player come out and tooted his little horn and that was it! Not that cool but I did end up finding gelato in the square! It was expensive and not verry good! The gelato in Austria is so much better!! 

 we did got to the charles bridge that is famious and has been in some movies, but I can’t remember! This is just a quick shot that I got!  I went back latter and got some sweet night pictures of the bridge and the city! 

 Jenni and I inside the main castle up on the hill! It was so beautiful!!!

 After spending some time in the square, we went to get some food! It was an interesting place. It was kinda like elementary school lunch. You told the ladies what you wanted to eat and then they marked it on this little paper, then you give the paper to the casher before you left! It was interesting! I got beef gulosh with dumplings and a veggie soup that ended up tasting like pickles. All of it was different but still good!

 this was desert! It was like a sweet dumpling filled with apricot filling. One had like of a cream cheese frosting (on right) and the other was kinda like butter cream with powdered sugar. They were good but I couldn’t really eat them all… they were just different I guess I should say!

 Then we wandered around town for a bit and found a bon bon store! It was so so so expensive! We only bought three chocolates and it was like $5 bucks! The one I picked out was best! The one with the gold and pink painted swirls. It was a truffle.

 This one is for Vegas! Grape flavored tick-tac’s! yummy! J

Talk about trying to be social! the room that Jenni and I stayed in was the best spot for internet so we had a party! There was also Matt in the corner but you cant see him!

 Dinner! Nutella and bread! I am going to gain so much weight! Haha J but it is totally worth it!

 

Travel day!! Day 9

Hello world! Today was a crazy day!! This was the first time we had to travel as a group!! It only took two trains to get from Vienna to Prague!! We just had a little bit of difficulty finding the right platforms. We even day to take a different train to get to the first platform… so I guess we really had to take three trains! But it’s wasn’t too bad! So for breakfast, we just went to a pastry shop and I got this delicious pastry!! I would love another one again!! It was filled with creamy custard. Yummy!

 And of course I got some chocolate milk. It was so so good! It was a bit thicker and it tasted more like dark chocolate!

 when I was packing my bags for this trip, I really wanted to take my red with white poka-dot suite case but I figured it was too big and I decided it would be easier to take a big backpack. Wrong! My sholders were dead by the time I got from the air port to the hostel in Vienna. So I bought a little suite case!!! It was porbablhy more then I would have spent in the states but boy it was worth it!!! It matches my big one at home perfectly!!! I was so excited about it all day long!! I even took a picture!

On the train rides we ended up just taking snacks like bread and cheese and I think hummus. So that is really all we ate. After we got to the hostel and settled in, we went to this good restaurant just down the street. I ended up getting chicken kabobs with fries! It was really good!

I was so sad that this was the first day that I didn’t get gelato!! Sad! It was my goal to eat gelato every day! But I guess the day before we I had it twice so that still counts right? Haha! Well that’s it for now! Time for bed! Night!

Play date! Day 8

Alright! So yet again another great day in Vienna! This is our last full day in Vienna! Cold cereal was for breakfast again which I am okay with! This was such a fun picture! We went on this little maze inside of the Schoenburnn palace. There were fun mirror at the end! We had fun playing in them!

This is the giant delicious pretzel that was amazing! Just for a snack! 

There was this fun park there too we had a tonz of fun! This was a little bird thing we had had to climb up into and the wings flapped and everything! It was really fun! 

For dinner we just stopped by some chine’s food. This was fried noodle with crispy duck! I haven’t had duck before but it was really good!! 

We actually headed to the “beach” that wasn’t really like a beach. It was really just like swimming in a dirty nasty cannel. It was still nice to relax and enjoy some sun! after we went for gelato! Yummy!!! 

Yummy cracker/pretzel snacks!

 For dinner I am sure it was just hummus and bread and fruit! We ran out of the yummy hummus and Jenni was sad! And so was I!
