Making Praugueress

Greetings, loyal blog readers! I bring tidings of a beautiful city- Prague, in the Czech Republic. We explored the city and the countryside on bike, segway, and e-bike (bikes that cycle for you).

The city is an amazing mix of old and new. Here's a modern building right next to an old one, for instance. Even the cable cars have drastic age differences, and they run side-by-side.

Czech countryside.

A swan with some ducks. The swan didn't seem to enjoy the ducks' company.

Karlstejn castle, just outside of Prague.

The e-bikes.

The city, from a distance, can look like a simple, charming one, but if you venture in you will discover that you can find many modern stores and gadgets. Prague is not an old-fashioned city by any means, but it's not all shiny skyscrapers either.

A row of bridges lined up.

It's not often you get to see a beautiful city with a double rainbow in the background.

The TV tower in Prague has been deemed the second ugliest building in the world, so they decided to decorate it with babies like these ones.

                                             

The tower. This photo was found online, not taken by us.

The famous Charles bridge. I shouldn't have let Dad try the "panorama" function on the phone's camera.

The gateway to Charles bridge. Many people set up small stands there, offering items from caricatures to trinkets.

More Czech countryside, seen from the train out.

Even the amazing pictures that I have here cannot begin to describe how sprawling, fantastic, and diverse the city of Prague is. The roads are cobblestone, and half of the sidewalks have patterns on them. The whole city is nothing short of spectacular. There's always something new around the corner- like a monastery that brews their own beer, supposedly some of the best in the world and only available there.

We could have spent many days exploring, but we left after only two. This morning, we caught a train to Berlin, where we are now. We'll walk around the city tomorrow, and I will report our findings. Thanks for reading!

Next up: Touring Berlin!
