Prague!

Here are just a couple of photos from our incredible world wind tour of Prague. First off, sincerest of thanks go to our most generous hosts Brenda and Mark. Friends of Amie's aunt, these two ex-pats greeted us at the airport, gave us keys to one of their luxurious apartments, and showed us the finer parts of the city. I was here 10 years ago (almost to the month) and saw less in 10 days than I did with Mark in 2. We cannot be grateful enough for your generosity!

Prague remains one of my favorite cities in the world. We came back because this is somewhere Amie always wanted to see, and needless to say, she loved it. The diversity in the architecture and the charm of every building makes you feel as if you are on a movie set or are living in a fairy tale land. Its that beautiful.

Our discounted flight landed at 6am and we hit the sites before the restaurants opened for breakfast. Mark and Brenda know their city and were sharing some very interesting details as we toured around old town square. It was so nice to visit a place with a friendly tour guide at your disposal!

We spent the rest of our first day on Charles bridge and exploring the old town before turning in around 5pm and watching a movie in the apartment (hey, we were up at 2am to catch our 4am flight!). Our second day in Prague had us touring the largest castle in the world and enjoying a few beers in the old town square. For dinner it was traditional Czech food with our hosts before turning in for the night.

Our trip was far to short, but with Mark and Brenda we were able to make the most of it! This is definitely one of the few places we look forward to returning to!
