Although we were only there for an incredibly short period of time, there's no doubt that Prague is a gorgeous city that I would love to go back to and spend more time in. There were so many things to do there and only one full day to experience the city, but I definitely think that we made the most of it with what we chose to do. It was a little intimidating to step off of the train and no longer be able to read any signs as they were now in Czech as opposed to German--and no one speaks Czech besides the Czechs so there definitely wasn't anyone in the group who could attempt to translate. Thanks to Michael's GPS and stellar navigation skills, though, we were finally able to find the hotel--without him we may have possibly spent the entire trip in the train station.
It was nice to get a chance to take a break from the fast pace of the program and just relax and enjoy the city. Prague, unlike most German cities, keeps their Christmas market open until January 6th so we had the opportunity to stroll around, experience the tradition and try some of the favorite local sweets. It was a great choice for the free weekend, and I was thankful for a chance to catch up on some sleep--now I'm ready to enjoy the last part of the program in Hanover and Vienna!
