My last trip while in London was a weekend trip to Prague with two of my roommates. We didn't really plan very much and had a lot of free time, so we spent most of the weekend wandering around, taking photos, and enjoying all of the sun and flowers after weeks of London stubbornly refusing springtime. I loved Prague - it was so beautiful, I immediately loved the architecture, the weather was perfect, and it was a good place to have a more relaxing, less busy trip for the end of our semester. Plus, because this was our last trip, big thank you to Claire and Matti (and Kristen) for letting me take a million pictures of you and dealing with my need to photograph everything over the course of the semester.
Our first stop after checking into our hostel was to walk across Stefanikuv Most and climbed up to Letná Park. We went to the beer garden, situated in the park with a great view of Old Town Prague and the river. After a while we went into the park, which was beautiful and full of flowers, and laid in the grass. It was sunny and warm and we had left our dorm at 3:30 or 4 AM to get to the airport for a ridiculously early flight, so we laid in the sunlight and probably all fell asleep at some point.
The famous (and packed) Charles Bridge
The John Lennon Wall
Explored Old Town Prague to find dinner and check out the old town square, the famous tower and clock, and beautiful buildings
After dinner we headed down to the river to go paddle boating, timing it with the sunset.
Prague Castle
We wandered around the Mala Strana neighborhood and Old Town again, finding bookstores and beer gardens and pretty streets, a random park and nice doors and a special effects museum. And eating trdelniks.
We went to the top of the Old Town Hall Tower for sunset
The old town square at night, as well as the Prague Castle seen across the river on our way to yet another beer garden (they really like their beer in Prague).
On our last day we decided to have a picnic by the river, so I read, wrote, laid in the sun, and stared at dogs for the better part of an afternoon. Plus, yet another trdelnik.
