No Problem Prague

After staying up way later than I normally do, I unintentionally slept in until about 10:30. Some much need rest I think though. I got up took a lovely bath (this is the first hostel that had a bath tub and it was fairly clean). Then I wanted to actually catch up on my blog and so I spent most of the early afternoon around the hostel. I ate the fruit and bread I bought in Krakow and my last bag of popcorn, which was delicious. I talked with the receptionists and found out that one of them is actually from Modra in Slovakia. I talked to her about my time there and realized that it was one of my favorite places and I do miss it. I have also been able to use a bit of my Slovak here because Czech is extremely close to Slovak and that has been awesome (a big difference from Hungary and Poland where I understood nothing).


After writing and just lounging around, I got motivated to go out into the city (mainly because I had to buy a bus ticket for the next morning). So I wandered down the main square until I found a metro station where I could buy a ticket. Did that and walked around a bit more until I decided I was hungry. So I had an Old Prague Sausage from a stand. What I was thinking about though was that it is weird because in the states Kolbasa is a type of sausage but it is actually the literal translation of sausage. Interesting, no? Well then I decide to walk to the Charles Bridge which is an extremely old bridge and a big tourist attraction. By the way it was drizzling the whole time… I am glad I had enough sense to bring an umbrella. I walked across the bridge, turned around, and headed back to the hostel. I decided to take a different way and then decided I should find the bus stop I had to be at around 4 in the morning. I didn’t want to be stumbling around then. I took me a while to find it because the stop was at an intersection where there are two tram stops, a metro, and a taxi lane. It was a bit hard to spot let’s just say. After I found it, I was ready to go back now having thoroughly soaked shoes and so I did. I got back between eight and nine, back up, and went to bed early. My plane leaves at 6 am so I have to catch the bus at four so I have to leave around 3:30 just to be safe so I have to get up at 3. (Yes, I do realize that is a terrible run on sentence.) Tomorrow Oxford!

P.S. I have been posting a few days at a time so you probably haven't seen the few previous post either... Happy Reading!!!!!!
