After spending the last night in Berlin at the "Long Night of the Museums" (an event where about 200 museums are open from 6 pm- 2 am and can be visited with one cheap ticket) we boarded a train towards Prague.
We arrived last night rather late at the train station and were immediately swarmed by all kinds of people trying to offer us accommodation and god knows what else.
We arrived too late (9:30pm) to be able to make use of any of the normal touristy things you would normally find at the train station (tourist information, money exchange). But thank god my parents had had some money (and coins, so important) left from their last trip so we hat at least around 10 Dollars in the Czech currency.
We took the metro, including a train swicheroo and arrived at our station and took the walk to our hotel. After a series of incidents (I am officially unable to use Czech public phones) we finally made it to our little attic room. The promised romantic view over the roofs of Prague can only be gotten by leaning out of the window but we are not planning to spend too much time in there anyway.
From the first glimpses we have gotten it is absolutely beautiful, tons of old ornate buildings. It seems that Prague really wasn't destroyed during WWII so all the old buildings are still intact.
This morning we are off to see the castle and buy our train tickets to Vienna.
