So take a step or two back to Prague, capitol of the Czech Republic. We stopped in Prague right before Dresden and on a night train from Vienna. On said night train we lost a camera with the photos from earlier in the trip so we bought a disposable camera, the film of which we just had developed. So the photos aren't great, but you can still see what is going on in them. To the left is the sister dearest standing next to the astronomical clock, voted Europe's number one most pointless tourist attraction. It may not have done anything cool, but it is still pretty 'cool that such an old clock still works with all of its original functions. It also had a cool 600th anniversary event. The video of it was something I saw years ago before I even knew where Prague was. The video is pretty long and starts off really boring but gets very cool and it goes through a lot of Prague's history, which is a real achievement seeing as they have been through so much. You can watch that
here.
We did another walking tour in Prague
On the tour of the old city Prague we saw and learned so much that I don't remember most of it. There have been so many battles and revolutions that it was just impossible to keep track. For example this lovely glass roof was over a courtyard where someone died? Or maybe there was a protest? I can't remember but I remember taking this photo for more than "Oh, that's pretty."

We also saw a lot of things dedicated to Franz Kafka and I took more than one photo of these statues for a Mrs. Coghill. (Shout out!) As we were walking around I just kept thinking about all of the people moving around like bugs. Kafka, a weird man. After our tour wrapped up we explored on our own over the famous tourist bridge (Charles, I think it was called) and over to the old town area where I felt like I was stepping into the grounds of Hogwarts. (How many nerd references can I throw into one post?) Check out the photos below:

After that long day of walking around we went back to our hostel and hung out, showered, napped and went to the grocery store. Beer was cheaper than water. Literally, cheaper than water. We met two Swedish guys who were on break from teaching and we taught each other drinking games. We taught them Kings Cup and by the end of the game our "Rule Makers" had us high-fiving, over the table, with our tongues out, yelling with our eyes closed, EVERYtime ANYone drank.
The next day we went with the guys to Kutna Hora outside of Prague where we went to the
Sedlec Ossuary. Which is monastery filled with the old monks bones. I didn't get any good photos but it is definitely worth looking up better photos. Here I did it for you:

We also walked up to the old (est?) cathedral in Prague and possibly Europe. The rest of the photos are just us goofing around on a playground and exploring the town. I will try to get photos from our Swedish friend and put them up, but for now these will have to do.
Na zdravĂ!
