After our very hectic morning, we just wanted to find the hotel and calm down. We struggled at the train station to find the direction of our hotel (and went a totally backwards way of getting to it) but finally, we made it!! We put our stuff down in our really cute, perfectly located room :-) We were one street away from the main town square and in perfect walking distance from everything. We walked to the clock tower, the middle of Old Town, and went to the top for excellent views of the city. Afterwards, it was time to eat. We had such an awesome meal at an outdoor cafe that was sooo cheap! The Czech Republic works in Crowns which one Euro is 25 Crowns...so lunches would cost us 500 Crowns but really only be about 10 Euro. VERY confusing, and I am not sure Laur and I ever figured it out, but it was cool carrying around 1000 Crown bills!
After lunch, a nap was a must. We snoozed for about an hour before getting ready and heading to a popular Irish Pub, which surprisingly are all over Prague. We ate and drank there until about midnight and headed home...but not before picking up one of the greatest food concoctions ever created...the Fried Cheese Sandwich. Lauren saw something about it on the Travel Channel and was literally talking about it for weeks ahead of time. SO on the way home we stopped at the stand and ordered it. They might as well call it a heart attack. It is a patty of cheese that is deep fried to ordered and put between two buns with mayonnaise. And it is DELICIOUS! We took them home, had a picnic on our bed and went to sleep.
Friday morning we woke up to a sunny sky and decided that this day in Prague would be "our day." We walked to the town square and saw the Dhali museum which was...odd...to say the least but still very cool. We had a traditional Czech lunch of Goulash and then over the Charles Bridge and on to a boat tour where we went up and down the river for an hour learning about the buildings along it and drinking a beer on the top floor. Afterwards we hiked up to the palace and Cathedral where there were amazing views of the river and Old Town AND (the best part) they had castle guards out front! Of course I tried to make them move and took pictures with them. We headed back to the hotel around 6 to get ready for the Pub Crawl we signed up for.
On the way to the Pub Crawl we had a little bit of time and stopped in a place called Bed. There were no chairs, just big beds with comfy pillows. I had a Cosmo and felt like I was on an episode of Sex and the City haha We then made it to the Pub Crawl where were immediately handed free drinks (and they kept coming all night long). It was so much fun! And since it was just me and Laur, we were forced to meet other people to hang out with which ended up being a blast. We were herded around Prague to different bars that looked like restaurants from outside but down one floor would be nightclubs. We were out pretty late then went for a Fried Cheese Sandwich and fell asleep.
