The magical Czech Republic

May 26-29
Since once again lol we had thursday off we took off for CZ with friday we all took off!  All six of us.  Man there is sooo much to tell here i do not know where to begin.

It was a 9 hours train ride and took forever with transitions here and there to different trains and leaving at 5 something in the morning did not help. The funny thing is we were going to a country where english was almost non-existent and german was very little spoken soooo we thought we were even more screwed lol  but it is not that bad actually!

Prague
So we went straight to Prague and well the hostel was sketchy but the city was as they say... Big tall buildings insanely detailed architecture and large spaces for shopping and buildings that look sooooo old.  Various parts of the city have diff architecture.  It is worth it to read about Prague and about the different styles in architecture and the examples that exist in the city.  Of course the Charlie's Bridge, the old city and new city and the castle on the hill and the entrances to the bridge were all beautiful and even more beautiful at night!

Secluded Sites to see
There is a wall that is dedicated to John Lennon.  This wall never looks the same when u come back because people keep adding to it.  The day we went and we searched for a while (b/c us asians just suck with maps lol)  there was a group there and they just finished painting it lol so we took pictures with them and the wall pretty sweet lol they were quite happy too there was paint on them and on the floor well basically everywhere. 

Also the Infant Jesus Church is nice.. that is where there is the wax doll of infant jesus is revered.  There is a museum in the church for free as well.

It is worth it to go up the St. Victus church allll the way to the top b/c the view is quite nice from there (that is an understatement actually)  When u get there DO NOT GET THE ENTIRE pass but only get passes for where u want to go.  I would recommend the Museum underneath the old palace and the tower everything else is meh! lol  Seeing it from the outside is more than enough.  Now on to my fav city.

CESKY KRUMLOV
See i saw a travel video before going and it said this place was amazing.  So arrived thursday and on friday woke 3 of them up at 6:30 and grabbed the earliest bus.  Unfortunately the bus driver rammed the bus with not even standing space left.  Since we got the tickets late WE HAD TO STAND FOR 3 hours lol i felt pretty bad but oh well to the schedule we stick.  It was worth it met women from France, Australia on the bus and all in all the city was magical. The pics will speak for themselves.  When u get there u understand what people described and u appreciate more than of course the pictures.  It is a smaller city with gothic architecture with most of the tourist sites on an island.  There is this gorgeous bridge and castle.  I heard the inside of the castle is nice so take it.  And also in the travel video she did some canoeing and so i refused to leave without doing some.  So we canoed around the island lol it was very nice i loved it!
Oh this was the first time we stayed in a dorm style in the hostel met a colombian and a very sweet japanese man so dorm styles hostels are sweet if u want to meet alll sorts of people.  and cheaper too i believe. 

Perfect place for a quite honeymoon :D

Food in CZ
If u look around u will get cheap food. 
Prague: had road duck with awesome sauce, a cocktail drink for like 4.70 Euros
Cesky Krumlov: Had the cheapest ever: cabbage soup, beef goulash and a beer for 3 Euro's that was insane lol this restaurant is on Karlova i do not know the name anymore but it has a yellow sign outside.  With i believe two tables on the outside patio but with more seating inside.  Inside it is all wooden.  Karlova is a small street and this place should be easy to find.

I love CZ and plan to return for sure but another time to see Karlovy Vary, the caves and other cites i can't spell etc...

Service there
OH AND YES THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE but if u speak a bit of czech like day-koo-you (thank you) etc u will see that most will change their attitude.  I did not like the way people are there when they serve u but now i think it is because the people feel that after the european union there has been an invasion of tourists.  Their city is taken over and they are still getting used to this change.  There is a lack of balance between tourism and the life in the city which will take time to reach.  When i went even i was sick of Prague during peak hours because of the high volume of tourists.  Hope things will change.
