hollaaa

heyyy sooo, convincing didnt end up working...not even for me...i think im convinced that we saw a lot of prague, and did a lot of exploring, so we are indeed moving on tomorrow, to berlin! dont worry though, its all good :)
so yesterday we went walking and explored old town (prague is like, divided into sections; old town, lesser town, jewish town, and then some different residential areas) and it was very pretty. theres this big Old town square, and its just a big touristy area but very pretty, with lots of old buildings and churches and stuff. we went over the river, and there was a bunch of boat tours, and we ended up going on one of those. it was really nice, actually, quite cheap and a great way to see a lot of the rivery parts of prague.
after that we went up to Prague Castle. its up this MASSIVE hill, and theres all these restaurants everywhere. and here, Hot Wine is all the rage. its warm and spiced and its just like apple cider...with wine in it. so i tried some, and i can understand why people enjoy it. i don't know if i would try it again...but...it was still kind of cool.
the castle itself was absolutely gorgeous. we didnt go in, im pretty sure you had to pay an entrance fee, but we walked around it. its mostly gothic architecture, and its so...haunting looking. very fitting for halloween :)
after we left, we walked over this bridge, and below it was this walking path area filled with trees which, as it was fall and changing colours, was beautiful. we didnt go down, but we walked along the edge, and it was marvelous. we just explored and explored and explored.
today we just spent all of our time walking around and exploring some more, and it was really fun. it was a really nice day out, weatherwise. it wasn't sunny, it was quite cloudy actually, but it was warmer weather than it has felt in a while. i didnt even need a jacket! i wore a cardigan and a scarf and gloves and was a perfect temperature.. and i wore pants. with leggings underneath...so my bottom half was very comfortable and warm...
yayy!
tomorrow we are off to berlin, and because jake and i both really like germany already, i wouldnt be surprised if we stayed there longer than our four night expected stay. we are pretty sure we arent going to Copenhagen anymore, seeing as the hostels there are extremely mediocre ratings for quite a high price, so we're probably going to give ourselves more time in Germany, and possibly go into Belgium to explore Brussels or Brugge.
so, thats what is happening in our lives right now.
also, jake is covered in bugbites and we dont know why. we are assuming bedbugs, but now that we're out of vienna, im fine...so maybe his clothes carried them with him?
uhh ohhh.
love you all :)
