Today we woke up but I was still really tired so Randy did breakfast downstairs while I slept a little longer. When he was waiting for me there were two girls in the lobby who looked like zombies and weren't talking to each other so he decided to start conversation. Can you guess yet? They ALSO rode the the soviet train from Krakow to Prague and didn't sleep. Same story essentially: no air, dirty, loud, etc. So apparently it wasn't just us it's that route.
Went to see St Nicholas church that was closed yesterday but it cost money and we've seen so many cathedrals we passed. Off to Starbucks again to "email Beth" ... and maybe get coffee :) Hiked to Petrin Tower which is a Soviet copy cat of the Eiffel tower but very small. Great view of the city from there. Hike down Randy threw a spider on me!!! I about had a heart attack but he killed it! Then off to find some wall that we couldn't locate (saw it from the castle yesterday).
But while searching we walked
though a monastery. Cool Phantom of the Opera type organ music playing.
Walked through a "market" but it was pretty lame in comparison of what we've seen. Then Wenceslas' Square and back to the hostel.
Ate at an authentic Czech restaurant and I had pork knuckle and Randy had a potato cake. Both were good but my pork came with just pork nothing else. Randy's was deep fried and stuff with like ham and seasoning. They didn't speak English even though there was an English menu. Ordered a Pepsi and they brought me a Pilsner, haha! It was funny because EVERY waiter at some point came over to "try and understand." Good food though.
Grabbed out bags and headed to Beth's place one last time before our night train, fingers crossed, to Budapest. We will be there 3 days then hopefully off to Interloken, Switzerland (the Alps) and then to Munich. Not sure if we will have Internet the next week or so.
