Berlin/Prague

This post comes to you from FREE (we love free) internet in Prague. First a quick Berlin recap:

We spent the first day walking around half asleep due to our 4:00 am wake up call and 6:30 flight from Edinburgh. Brandon met us the next day and we did a FREE (oh yeah!) walking tour through the city. It was a really good overview and I'm glad we had the commentary as Berlin didn't seem to have any plaques/posters describing their landmarks. There were so many landmarks that held Nazi/Hitler significance and our guide said that the country dosen't want to glamourize him and the Neo-Nazi's that still exist. I thought this was a good reason and it was kind of fitting when we stood where Hitler's final bunker (where he killed himself) was and it was a parking lot with a chinese restaurant and a gay bar across the street! Take that Hitler!

Berlin had the absoulte best restaurants SO FAR (cough, Italy, cough). Brandon, Cole and I frequented the same two for bratwurst/schnitzel and beer and they were huge portions for great prices, and absolutely delicious! We also discovered Schnieder Weisen (see picture below) and Cole was in heaven.

Fast forward to today! We left Berlin on our first day aboard BusAbout and stopped at a concentration camp just outside of Prague. It was a somber afternoon to say the least. We did a quick Prague sightsee extravaganza this evening and it is so beautiful! I really wish we could stay here longer :( I recommend Prague to anyone.

Berlin: sausage, jager, communist propoganda, and huge men

Prague: hilly coblestone streets, goulash, faces that always look angry (but actually turn out friendly)
