The majority of our day today comprised of a train ride to Prague. Thankfully we were able to find seats for each one of our trains without having to make reservations. We passed through lush German forests, which resembled to our many trees back at home. Once we crossed the border into Czech the train ride was absolutely stunning! I spent most of the time gazing outside of the window instead of writing down the last few days… The train followed alongside the a river, and there were houses along each side of the river. On the opposite side if the water there as a plateau and houses where on these jagged cliffs! The houses that I saw were all characterized, unique from one another unlike our standardized uniform like houses back at home in my opinion.
As we pulled into the train station we walked through the the city to go get to our hostel for the next two evenings. If carrying my backpack around wasn’t already enough of a sign that I was a tourist, then me gazing around as we strolled though the city was the compete giveaway. The building here we nothing like I have ever seen before! They are painted in a light pastel colour and have intriqite? Carvings and depictions on them. After crossing Charles bridge and walking up the hill baring the top of the castle we reached our hostel. Later, once we got our bearing and unpacked our gear we went for a quick bite, grabbing a falafel and learning some Czech from the restaurant employee and ate our dinner overlooking the river. There were locals fishing and we saw one of them catch a fish! Other tourists were feeding an taking picture beside so many swans in the water. As dusk started to settled in we walked to our hostel to get a good nights rest and plan out tomorrow!
