Prague 8-10 Oct

It actually ended up being a good thing that I was two minutes late for my train from Vienna to Prague. The two hours waiting for the next train gave me time to enjoy a beautiful Weiner Schnitzel and Edelweiss Beer at the station and I ended up meeting Mark, Kelly and Greg (from Utah) and Lauren (from Toronto) who introduced me to Flight of the Conchords while we raided the mini bar (pretty cheap even though it was a train!) We lost Mark and Kelly when we got to the station but the three of us had fun there and waited for three more of their friends to arrive on the next train from Vienna. We checked into our hostels and ended up having a great night out partying at the club next to my place.

Its hard to suddenly go from travelling by yourself to having 7 other people to work around but it was pretty nice to have the company. Once we got all sorted with breakie at Bohemian Bagel and the others moved from a hostel to a hotel we started on a little bit of sightseeing walking towards Charles Bridge. The others headed back to the hostel for a nap and to get pretty and I continued on to the other side of the river to czech (see what I did there - haha!) out the Church of St. Nicholas, the Wallenstein gardens and made my way up to the castle for a look around. We all met back up and spent the afternoon wandering around town. Split again for dinner (with Lauren and I going for 99K Indian while the others had steak) and then spent the evening hanging out at the Irish Pub on the square - awesome to just chill and chat with these guys.

Was up pretty early to make the most of my day (whats different!) and wandered through Wencelas Square on my way to the station to head out to Kutna Hora famous for its ossuary. Gow had recommended the "bone church" one hour out of Prague, it wasn't as scary as the catacombs Id seen but pretty amazing to see chandeliers made out of every bone in the human bosy and pyramids of bones with over 40,000 people contributing to the "artwork" of this unique church. Next stop... Berlin
