"Dancing" in Prague

We left Oktoberfest at the perfect time. I don't think any of us could consume any more beer from the crazy beer gardens that we had lived in for the past two days. Blane, Ben, Eric, and I hopped on our train to Prague and settled down into our cozy train car for the next 6 hours. We arrived into Prague around 11 pm and made our way to our hostel (Clown and Bard). We were cheerily greeted with more beer and a room for four (finally Ben's snoring won't be keeping the entire hostel up). After finding a nice pizza joint that is open 24 hours we headed to some crazy Czech club that we had been recommeneded to go to. It was one of the strangest clubs I have been to with all kinds of bohemian dreadlocked boys bouncing around and "dancing". We called it a night soon after that.

Me and Blane Bear on the Charles Bridge

Saturday we woke up and moved hostels to a really nice place called the CzechInn. From there we took a tram to the Charles bridge in Prague and the castle. From there we walked and walked and walked. Our estimate is prob around 6 miles. We explored the beatiful city of Prague and pretty much checked off all important things to see in the city. The amazing weather made the hike pretty enjoyable except for the fact that our feet were all throbbing by the time we made it back to shower and get ready for a night on the town.

A guy who works at our hostel recommended a restaurant that we of course couldn't find (not to mention that Czech people don't eat past 8pm and everything had stopped serving food right when we got there). We settled down into a pub that had red bull and vodka on special (about $5 a drink) which automatically made my night fantastic. This pub also made our food selection impossible because it not only served Czech food, but also every other type of cuisine you could think of. We hung out there for a good bit and then starting walking to a secret club that we had heard of. As we were walking we stumbled about a hidden gem called The Harley Bar. We wondered into the basement and found an amazing mix of 80s and 90s music and everyone bouncing around the bar (I think this is the Czech style of dancing).

After many rounds of Jack daniels we headed out to continue the search for the secret club. The directions we received were this: find the #37 on the street, walk under the arch, walk up two flights of stairs, ring the doorbell, and hope the owner buzzes you in. Some how in our Jack daniels haze this all made complete sense and we found ourselves being buZzed into a quaint night club with couches made of recycling bins and a small group of Czech people "dancing "around the dance floor. It was a really cool find and a great place to make Ben and Blane try absynthe. We arrived back at the hostel around 4 so Blane and Ben got in a good two hours of sleep before heading to the airport.

Sunday Eric and I walked some more and explored the Jewish Quarter and enjoyed our new favorite restaurant Bohemian Bagel. Sunday night we strolled around the square trying sips of different wines, bites of cheese, and taking pictures. Today, Monday, we are going to go check out the zoo and then head to the airport to fly to London and then to Greece Tuesday morning (sleeping at the London airport should be an adventure). Prague is amazing and beautiful but we are both ready to hit the beaches, munch on some feta, and enjoy the coast!
