Bye Bye Prague, Hello Vienna

Hi All! So here is a quick update.

We spent our last day in Prague once again walking around the city, seeing some of the great sites again, and finding great spots for picture opportunities for Sri. We climbed the Prague tower which was about 150 steps to the top, then walked the Charles Bridge again, watched the hourly astronomical clock celebration and danced with the square locals to Hare Krishnas, interesting. We finished our stay in Prague with an awesome chocolate banana crepe!

We took an overnight train from Prague to Vienna, Austria! We arrived in Austria at 6:30 AM and went straight to our hotel. Thank god these hotel people are super generous, they allowed us to enter our hotel room 6 hours before check in time! Sri and I got into the room and went straight to bed :) On the overnight train, it was very hard to sleep, because we had to share our compartment with someone else. So finally we got up and decided to walk around Vienna. We walked towards the Vienna cathedral, and the infamous shopping strip. We had lunch and dinner on this strip and some yummy gelato. Since Vienna is very much like Prague, Sri and I really want to get to Switzerland, so we are planning on leaving tomorrow via train. We will keep you guys posted on our location!

Here is a picture of our last day in Prague!

Happy Belated 2nd bday Talin! Sorry we missed it!

Prague

We spent the entire day today walking around Prague. We left our hotel and walked along the River which lead us to Charles Bridge. There are tons of artists on this bridge, selling their artwork and crafts! It was nice weather so many many people were out and about. We continued walking towards the Prague Castle. The castle is nestled high up on a hill, so Sri and I walked our way up there. We stopped and had lunch at a local place, the food was alright... It was amazing once we got to the castle. There were tons of tourists and people everywhere. From the Castle Sri and I walked towards the Prague square, where there was a Astronomical Clock. There are Easter celebrations all over the streets of Prague. They also had a local concert going, which we watched for a bit. We kept walking and walking and then ended up at the Prague museum again.

Prague is a beautiful place. The buildings, the cobble stone streets and the architecture, all are amazing! The train, subway system is very easy to use as well!

Sri decided he would like to learn more about the history of Prague so tomorrow we are going to take a tour of the city to get more information about the castle, bridges, clock tower and city. One more day in Prague and then we are off to Austria.

My camera battery died today, so I did not get many pictures, and Sri's pictures are mostly in RAW format, so its hard to upload those. I am going to try and do this soon!

More Soon!

Prague museum

We are in Prague now. It's a very pretty place. Going to do a tour of
the city tomorrow. This place isn't that cheap, besides the hotel
which was only 26 euros a night, the food is pretty pricy. We had
pizza, bruschetta and beer and it cost around $40... Anyway I think
this place is still cheaper than Ireland.

Btw, we took ryanair to Prague . Must be the worst flight I ever took.
Made us checkiny carryon and charged us an extra 35 euros, an the
flight was cramped, and noisy. Anyway I will end this post on a good
note, the pizza I had was on par with amici's!

Lord of the RINGS :)

We spent the entire day in Killarney, Ireland. We took a bus tour of the Ring of Kerry. It is a 116K drive in the shape of a ring, which goes along the oceanside. We saw century old ruins, the oceanside and an amazing waterfall. It was a six and half hour bus ride, long but worth it!

We are going to be boarding our train back to Dublin for the night and then off to Prague. We will post pictures. For now here is one from the past couple of days.

More Later!!

Horse and buggy!

Sri and I arrived in Killarney, Ireland this afternoon. We took a
three and half hour train ride from Dublin to here. It was awesome
seeing the country side of Ireland! So much green!

Once we got into this town, we taxied to our hotel, the taxi drivers
are so nice, they give you mini tours as we drive through town! Once
we got to the hotel, Sri decided to rest for 30 minutes.. I was
anxious to see the sights and castles so I woke him up and we decided
to head over to some of the famous sites!

We asked the lady at The front desk the best way to get into town, she
suggested we walk, 5k, she said should only take us 20 minutes! Ha!
Well it was an amazing path, beauiful trees and valleys. Reminded me
of hiking a much greener, with more trees, Mission Peak! Once we got
into town we had a great lunch, very fresh warm food and then we
decided to walk around the small town. We happened to walk into a cafe
which literally opened their doors for business two hours before, so
all drinks and chocolates were complimentry! People here are so
friendly.

It started to rain but I still wanted to go see the Ross Castle and I
really wanted to ride the horse and carriage :) So we decided instead
if walking the 2.5k to the infamous Ross Castle we would horse and
buggy it! How fun! It was raining and beauitful! Below is a picture
from my iPhone of the 15th century castle. It was great!

Our horse driver was a character as well, Michael and his horse Whiskey!

Great times! We are now in a small cafe, thinking about what to do
next. We will be in Killarney, Ireland until Sunday night and Then
back to Dublin for the night and off the Prague Monday morn!

More later! Sorry for all the errors, I am
Typing this on my iPhone.
