Prague

We arrived in Prague on Sunday night. We both got a bad impression the first few hours of Prague due to a screwed up currency and the worst meal we have ever experienced in our lives. We got to the currency exchange and exchange about $20 and got 3800 Koruna... It took us a while to figure out what we were actually paying for things. We got to the hostel at about 8ish and everything was closed and we were starving. We stumbled across a Chinese food restaurant. Withering away due to lack of nutririon we decided we could make an exception for that one time....worst decision ever. The noodles we got tasted like they were boiled in a fish tank and I swear some of the managers teeth were in my meal. The process of ordering our meal was like trying to communicate.


The next day was a lot better. No tour this time. We headed out on our own and wondered around. Prague has a lot of really good views with just castles in the skyline. We went to see the Prague castle, downtown Prague, Charles Bridge and, from what we just learned, the #1 most overated tourist attraction in Europe...the astronomical clock. Everything was really cheap here. We hit up a Pastry shop and got a bunch of stuff for about 2 USD and they were just scrumptious. For dinner we had a typical Czech meal of duck, dumplings and cabbage. It was a ton of food and it did the job. After that we went downtown and got a little lost on the way back. We had to walk back in this sketchy part of town but nothing that good old Clint and Steve couldn't handle.

Sorry the posts are delayed and somewhat short. some hostels dont have free internet so its tough to wite these things.
