After a long and mostly uneventful journey, we made it to Prague late last Wednesday night. We had arranged a ride to our apartment rental beforehand, so our driver was waiting at the airport with a sign.We rented a huge 3 bedroom apartment for about $125 per night and we love it. It has a kitchen
and a washing machine, and it is right in front of a tram stop. It is only a couple of stops to the center of town. We have alternated between exhausting sightseeing days such as visiting the Prague Castle yesterday (apparently the largest castle in the world), and lighter days that might include a visit to the Prague city museum.There has been lots of walking, and lots of 0,5 liter pilseners for under $2. When we can't get by on English, there have been several occaisions when Stefan has been able to communicate in German. Bernie's Russian training has helped out when trying to decipher some Czech words.
We celebrated Troy's 32
nd birthday last night by going out to eat at a restaurant in the old town (Stare Mesto) that is run by the Pilsner Urquell brewery.Tomorrow we will probably take a day trip to an as yet to be decided Czech city such as Plzen, Karlovy vary (Carlsbad), or Cesky Krumlov. Wednesday we take the train to Vienna!

We have internet in our rented apartment. Otherwise, there are internet cafes all over, which we have not needed to use.
