Prague

On our first night in Prague after our train ride, we went to the Air BnB where we were staying.  The owner told us some good places to eat and get drinks.  Ari was in love with the low prices in the city and cheap beer. 

The next morning, we went on a trip to the little village of Kunta Hora.  They have an old church there that is decorated with bones, and I really wanted to see it. 


It was both creepy and awesome.

They said that a half blind monk arranged most of these pyramids.


You could see the injuries from the Prussian War of the ones in the cases. 

This was the most amazing part. 


It was a really small church, so we didn't actually stay that long.



Then we went on to see this church which is supposed to be the most beautiful one in the Czech Republic. 


It took six hundred years for them to build it. 







The little city had some amazing views. 

I loved that there were skulls even on the statues in the city. 

This was the Charles Bridge. 


Prague was filled with amazing views. 

You can see the castle off in the distance when you are crossing the bridge.  

We walked over to see the Lennon Wall. It is from the Velvet Revolution in 1989. People paint new things on it all the time. I really learned a lot about Communism on this trip. 


I can't remember the name of this church... 

We took another walking tour in Prague. This was the astronomical clock on the Old Town Square.  It is amazing, and so cool that it was built 600 years ago. 


We also toured the Jewish area of town where the Jews were for a time locked in. 

The king told them it was to keep them safe because people were trying to kill them to cancel their debts. 

After our walk, we went up to the castle to see the other side of town. 


It is a beautiful castle.

It is up on a hill, so it gave even more beautiful views. 

It was a long walk up and down.

Then we walked over to this amazing park that you climb up to that overlooks the whole city also.

I got 36,000 steps that day.

I went into this awesome tour store to look for a present for Isaac.

I didn't find a present, but I did convince Ari to go down the slide, which was worth it. 


On our last night in town, we went out to eat street food. 

We tried this trdelnik, which is supposed to be a donut filled with chocolate and ice cream.  We didn't really think that it lived up to the hype. 

We spent two full days there, and then we got up to go to Amsterdam for our last city.
