October 17th - 18th - Prague

17 of October
Today we drove to Prague, or Praha in the local language. This took three hours which felt like much longer. On the way into the city we could get a sense that it was much more dangerous to drive on the roads. Once we were in the city the roads seemed like a mess of cars. In a way it was like a herd of cows. Once we had found our hotel we put our stuff down and went for a walk. It was really pretty because we went for a walk across a bridge but as we were walking we saw a man following us. This made mum and I feel uncomfortable. Once we got back to the hotel mum and dad were thinking of maybe going to Berlin that night. Dad went out for a walk to see how safe he felt. They decided to stay but we still didn’t feel completely safe that night.

Today we went on a tour of Prague. It was amazing to hear about the history of the place and to see different things we didn’t know were there. The different legends were interesting. My favourite was one which said that there were giants which roamed to streets of Prague at night. This seemed just too ridiculous so that it may be true (maybe). We then came back and I bought some souvenirs. I bought a mole, this might sound strange but the little mole is a very popular creature in the Czech Republic.  We then got lunch. I got something called a chicken pita. It was delicious but hard to eat. We then went and got into the car and drove to Berlin.  It was a long drive. When we arrived we were all tired so it was good that we found our hotel easily. It is nice here. But it is our first time being in a place with a shared bathroom and kitchen. We had dinner and went straight to bed.
