Mon. Dec. 07 - Prague












Today it's time to leave our beautiful floating hotel. We are all a little sad but also very excited about visiting Prague. Our guide and bus driver are waiting to take us on a 4 hour ride from Germany to the Czech Republic. The ride was quiet as the party gals all needed to catch up on their beauty sleep. The traffic in Prague is very congested so it takes quite a bit of maneuvering to get the bus through the narrow streets to the 5 star Palace Hotel. What a beautiful hotel, the rooms are bright and airy, spacious and roomy with deluxe bathrooms and 10 foot high ceilings. It's a glorious winter (spring like) day, 15 degrees and sunny. As soon as everyone was checked in we headed to the old town square for lunch. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed Czech beer and wine and traditional food such as goulash and schnitzel. From our seats we had a birds eye view of the astronomical clock, town hall, Christmas market and the church with the fairy tale spires. I'm sure Walt Disney had this vision in mind when creating the Magic Kingdom.
