Trip 2 Day 2 Prague

A visit to the homeland. My parents and I made it to Bohemia, and moreover Prague. It was interesting to be in the home away from home, as the Krippner side of my family comes from Bohemia. Prague was a beautiful city. Everything was very interesting to see and there were a lot of cool sights. Unfortunately the Czech Republic does not use Euro as currency, so that created a bit of a barrier and a money crunch. Even so we managed to make our way to St. Charles Bridge, Infant Jesus, and of course, the Prague Castle. Luckily we managed to even catch it during the changing of the guard, which was really cool to watch. After simply wandering around the city, we eventually had to catch our train toward Berlin to keep moving on with our trip. Nearly 5 hours later I am once again in the capital of Germany, this time playing tour guide, while seeing the sights myself.

Trip 2 Day 1 Prague

Nearly 2 months after the first trip, I am once again on the road. This time a little slower than normal. That is because I am traveling with my parents. But regardless, today we got on our train and we headed for Prague. Due to some issues with Jetlag though, we didn't actually set off until a little after 12. That's no big deal. We saw a good deal of countryside and eventually made it to Prague. All that was left in the day was a little time to find some food. Stopping at the first restaurant we saw outside our hostel led us into the cellar of the building. The walls were clad with suits of armor, shields, and swords, and the food was pretty good to boot. The Krippner family comes from this region of Europe, so it was good to try some of the traditional food from that "homeland". Tomorrow we will get to see much of the city before we have to move on to Berlin.
