In Praha- Safe & Sound!

So we made all our connections and arrived in Prague right on time. Geo & Krissy were waiting for us as we exited customs and then we took off to find IBTS. After 45 minutes on the bus system we arrived at Jeneralka. We checked in and hiked it up the hill and a bunch of stairs to our apartment. We dumped our stuff and went in search of dinner. We dined on local cuisine at a pub across from the bus stop. Our first experience at slodging through a foreign menu- but we did pretty well. Geo introduced us to the “local” (German) drink of his preference- beer & Sprite. Don’t knock it ‘till you try it. It was pretty good.

After dinner we parted ways at the bus stop and Emrys & I came back to unpack. For the first time since the beginning of December, my clothes are in drawers & on hangers and the luggage is stowed away. It’s great! We crashed at local time only to be awake again at 3AM. Napped a bit longer and then it was time to get up and get stuff done. Krissy is coming to find us this morning to take a field trip to get bus passes for the local system and train tickets for our trips Friday and next week. So we’re off to get our bearings in Prague!
