Czeching Prague out! - Czech Republic

After saying good bye to my friends parents in Vienna, I was off to Prague! It was a 5 hour train ride to get there, and I stayed at the Czech Inn for 3 nights. The funny thing was that the first day I was there it was 29 degrees and hot! But the next day it settled back to a regular 18. I was fortunate enough to know a friend who was staying there at the time, so I met up with her and she showed me around for the next few days. Prague was a lot smaller then I imagined (at least old Prague) but a lot more exciting, there was always something to do and all the food you can eat!
Some traditional Czech food; Pork with bread and this potato, sauerkraut, bacon mixture.
It ended up being so filling! and sadly, I think I broke out because of the pork :(
The fancy brunch I went to with my friend.  The place itself had a Victorian meets funky style
with a club and lounge in it too!  But the food was delicious!
Not to sure if its a Prague thing, but this is deep friend pineapple with honey, and whip cream.
So basically a few of my favourite foods to eat!  The deep fried part along side the warmed pineapple added a unique flavour to the dessert that I didn't expect.
One of the many types of street food I had here.  This is a "cheeseburger" or cheese in a bun.
Basically, it's a piece of deep fried cheese in a bun with lettuce and mayonnaise.
Defintely quite delicious and really flavourful and filling.



It's the museum!  I walked past this everyday to get to the center of the town.  There was some
construction being done to it, so I didn't really want to go in but I bet it was lovely inside.
This is my friend Jen.  I haven't seen her since graduation almost 3 years ago.  I
didn't know she was studying in Prague until I was in Italy and we somehow coordinate
it to meet up while I was there.  So basically she was my tour guide for the 2 days I was there.
This is her eating haha (she eats a lot!)
One of the many views I had of Prague Castle.  This is the church from the back.  The inside was even more amazing!
This is the view from Prague castle; simply amazing! Plus it was a lovely day, with not as many tourists as I thought there would be, so who am I to complain?
The train station in Prague.  This is either when I arrived or departed (obviously)
Just a random photo of the streets in Prague.  They were so pretty, and clean
My room! I had a six bed all male dorm and I was completely alone for the most of my stay.
And finally, this is us on the Charles bridge.  A pedestrianized bridge that was full of street merchants,
people and statues.  Apparently there was over 30 different statues that was along the bridge.
