BAF!

     Honestly, as I sit here trying to write this blog I can not remember the day...it was fun filled with many different adventures...the first that I recall was breakfast. I was not very impressed with it. When you think of complimentary breakfast with the hotel you may think of bagel. toast, maybe make your own waffle? Well, not in Europe. Here you had three options toast, yogurt (which does not taste like yogurt from the states), and cereal (kind of like Special K cereal in the states). You can guess what I had...toast and "cereal". First of all you can't go wrong with toast...the bread was good, however my cereal was a different story I had milk with it and also like the states it was warm milk :/ whatever...ate it anyway didn't know when the next time we would eat was.

     The second adventure of the day...The Petrin Observation Tower..looks like a mini Eiffel Tower. As we climbed the tower which took us about 4 minutes but with the rain and wind it felt more like 20 (my cartdio for the day). After the tower we took the tram to the Prague Castle which was my trivia question yesterday! Did you know...The Prague Castle is an ancient symbol of the Czech islands and the most significant Czech monument and one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic!I think everyones favorite part was taking pictures around the castle and especially with the guards! After the Castle we headed for lunch (note this is around 430) where we were able to taste some of the local cuisine in which I was kind of nervous after eating breakfast. However, It was awesome! We ate chicken noodle soup and goulash (not like the goulash my father makes). I couldn't have asked for a better meal! It was very good comfort food for being out in the cold and rainy weather. 

     For the final part of the day we went to St. Charles Bridge in which we were able to take pictures we were also able to see The Old Town Bridge Tower and The Powder Tower. After crossing the bridge we walked though Old Town. Once there we split into groups, my group decided to sit outside at a local cafe and have coffee. It was much needed and a good opportunity to warm up while we waited for 6 o'clock to roll around to hear the bells ring (which is kind of a big deal...it reminded me of when you head to a water park and they have the bucket that fills up and when it is allmost full everyone gathers around in a huge crowd and everyone waits for it to dump, well thats what everyone did except they waited for it to ring). After this we headed back to the hotel to relax, blogg and run to the store for a "make your own dinner".

Trivia Question:  What is special about the Powder Tower?

The Powder Tower is one of the most remarkable momuments of medieval Prague. It marked the begining of the Prague royal route and the end of an important road from Kutna Hora, where silver was mined for the royal treasury.
