Photos are finally up, and I encourage you to see all of them becuase Prague is a really lovely city and Dresden was very pretty too, and the slideshow I posted is kind of a solid introduction to the two cities. Come on, everyone's talking about Prague these days, go see what the fuss is about!

BASICALLY, the trip went like this:
Got into the hotel, had a beer. Budweiser is a classic Czech beer--same name, different beer! Although, similar taste, and similar reputation, but that is coincidental and is a long fun-fact-filled story that only I would find interesting, so we'll leave it there!
Walked up to Prague Castle, biggest castle in Europe (or one of, depending on who you're talking to). Saw the changing of the guards, walked around the castle, cathedral, Guild lane and dungeon (I'm one of those Romanesque lovers of medieveal-torturey things)
Saw lots of other things, but that night had a nice traditional Czech dinner and ordered a "large" beer. You know, I saw that the menu said large was 1 litre, but I didn't really consider how much one litre is (thanks, British standard of measures). Turns out 1 litre of beer is too much, that's how much it is.
The next day I took a train to Germany. I saw the Zwinger Palace, the Frauenkirche and the
Großer Garten (if you visit the full slideshow, you can find out what those places are!) I also saw a lot of statue butt, but it was picturesque statue butt so I snapped some shots.
That night I had a nice long walk around town. Prague is one of the prettiest night-lit cities I've seen.
The last day I walked around Prague in the sunshine and visited the National Museum, which had a really cool Natural History section.
I had a great time in Prague and Dresden. Again, check out
the full album for more!
