No need to Czech my bag

One of my favorite photos
The country that split into two was Czechoslovakia and those two countries were the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and if you can't tell by the title I went to the Czech Republic! There was no need to check my bag because I went by train, but still I couldn't resist the title name. After leaving Berlin I travelled to Prague aka Praha! The train ride was terrible because they ran out of seats after about one stop and considering I had a 5-8 hour train ride I was not looking forward to it, I got kicked out of first class because I'm rebellious and chose to sit there when my Eurail pass didn't qualify for first class. After being told to move I relocated to a train car until the people who sat there actually showed up and told me to move. The aisles were full of people and their luggage sitting on the floor and so I resigned to the dining car to get some lunch and charge my phone for this long trip. After two hours I opted to move thinking the aisles would be more clear and alas they were not, about 90% of the bathrooms on this train were closed down so I chose to sit in front of one in the area of the train car where the doors open to get on and off the train which was where no one else was sitting. It was very peaceful and I just read some books on my phone for the duration of the trip. I had plenty of time on my hands.


I forgot how great this photo is!
The Astronomical
Clock
  After arriving in Prague I had to deicide whether to do a walking tour the day I came in or to finally have a rest day, I chose to have a nice rest day and I leisurely walked around Prague and found out where some local markets are and I decided to find out where my walking tour started the next day. The next day I did my walking tour and saw the most overrated attraction, The Astronomical Clock. It was truly overrated and I was very unimpressed. We walked around and then it poured down rain for a bit and then let up, we walked around the city and eventually to the old town where I took some pretty decent photos. We stopped off in a restaurant for 30 minutes and I chose to hit up the local market instead, which I always do anyway. My day in Prague was pretty uneventful however I made a great friend by the name of Danielle and she was awesome. I would travel back to Prague just to experience some more of what I didn't!


The next place I head to is mispronounced often
