Berlin to Prague

Heading south through Germany we stopped for lunch in Dresden. It was bitterly cold, but we tried to see as much of the city as we could. :) There were some beautiful buildings and a quaint town square.

We crossed the border and arrived in the Czech Republic for 3 nights!! Praue is known as the golden city built on Seven Hills across the River Vltava. Without a doubt, Prague is one of Europe's most attractive cities. According to legend, Princess Libuse stood above the River Vltava and proclaimed "I see a city whose glory will touch the stars. It shall be called Praha." And the beautiful city of Prague was born. It was the only major city in Eastern Europe to escape large scale bombing during WWII and still has a magical feel about it. The city has many things to offer, including beautiful castles and museums and as Brad would attest, very tasty beer!!Our first glimpse of Prague was through a guided night walking tour. We were able to see the Hradcany Castle (Prague Castle), Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square. It was absolutely magical at night!

We ended the night at The Beer Factory in Wenceslas Square. This was without a doubt Brad's highlight of evening! There were about 15 tables througout the bar complete with their beer taps! No waiting at the bar and no waiters! Great concept, huh??!! All we had to do was grab a mug and find a table. The best part was that there was a computerized tally table board that could be seen throughout the bar. This kept track of how many liters of beer each table was drinking. Of course a competition between the tables ensued. The Beer Factory had great music and everyone was danced the night away!
