I just returned to the hotel right now, and I only have a short time on the computer, so I’ll just make this quick :). I also walked a lot and went to a lot of churches (as is expected; I’m estimating that I went to over 50 churches in Europe so far!).

Places I went to today (I’m also using this list simply to remind myself where I’ve been once I return home!):

• Prague Castle
• Old Town Square
• The Church of St. Nicholas
• National Gallery in Prague
• Church of Our Lady in Front of Tyn
• Mozart Musum
• Infant Jesus of Prague
• Prague Orloj (astronomical clock)
• Wenceslas Square
• and more…

I’ll be going to the Jewish Quarter tomorrow, and so I’ll post about that when I get back. I also hope that I’ll have more time on the computer tomorrow, as I went to a lot of places so far, and so there are many, many things to talk about!

Bye for now!

I’m now in Prague, Czech Republic. It’s a very beautiful city, but there are also some parts that are obviously remnants from when the country was still under communist rule under the USSR - a lot of buildings that are slowly deteriorating, for instance. I also notice the presence of a LOT of foreign companies, such as T-Mobile, ESSO, Shell, LG, and McDonald’s - and these were all just on the way from the airport to my hotel.

I’m staying in a 4-star hotel right now, the Crowne Plaza. It’s where Russian diplomats, such as Joseph Stalin, used to stay when they were in town.

On the 8 hour British Airways flight over to London, I didn’t get much sleep, so hopefully I can catch up more on my sleep tonight. Although, the flight in general was fine, because I’ve taken at least 4 cross-Atlantic flights so far. Once I reached London, I took another flight to Prague, which was about 2 hours. That was worse, because the seats weren’t as comfortable since the plane is intended only for traveling over shorter distances; it’s an Airbus.

Charles bridge (I heard it’s beautiful at night, when the lights are all on), and other night-related activities. 

Bye for now!

UPDATE: It was nice and cool outside because it was late. During the day here, it can reach up to 40 C sometimes, and so I’m not looknig forward to the heat tomorrow. I just walked around the ‘Old Town’ today, to see where I want to go tomorrow during the day. There are a lot of churches, especially, and so I’ll probably end up going to at least a few of those.

I’m now sitting here, waiting for the limo to arrive and pick me up to go to the airport. I’ve packed all my things, and am just relaxing a bit before starting my journey across 3 Eastern European countries. I’ve also packed enough books to entertain myself on the long bus rides between cities, but I’m sure the landscape will be beautiful enough for me to watch for a while, too.

I’ll try to post here as soon as I can find an internet cafe in Prague (my first stop!), or if my hotel has any internet access.

Bye for now!

I’m not there just yet! But I’ll still be blogging while I’m in Europe within a few days; I’ll hopefully upload some photos too during the trip, but I’m doubtful of that as I’m unsure if I can find an internet cafe that will allow me to do anything more than browse the web on their computers.

All of my posts during the vacation will be found here, so that you can read them by themselves, and filter out other posts from other categories that aren’t related.

I’ll see you at the other end…!
