Whew...that last day was unbelievably long. BUT it was definitely worth it. Berlin was so cool, the entire city was either old and crumbling or brand new. Most things were rebuilt after the fall of the wall and obviously WWII destroyed most of the city. We got to our really nice hostel at 8am and couldn't check in until 3pm so we went on a 3 1/2 hour walking tour with this company that gives really awesome free tours. We pretty much got to see everything on a small budget and tight time. It worked out perfectly. Once we got back to our hostel we crashed for a couple of hours and caught up on some much needed sleep. That night we went out for dinner and german beer and then took the U-Bahn to the far east side and saw the East Side Gallery. I liked that a lot, the art is really well preserved and the quotes and paintings are really meaningful. The next day we checked out and wandered the city a little until we had to catch our bus.
The bus was headed for Sofia, Bulgaria and we had 3 crazy eastern european bus drivers. I did not understand a single word of what was going on. The only thing was that the Bulgarians were yelling "Nein" at us in german because they thought we were trying to steal their seats. It was ridiculous.
We got to Prague around 11pm(45 minutes late) and went back to Halley's apartment. We got wine and headed to a club by the Charles Bridge. We ended up staying their until after the sun came up and walking back the city was so pretty and quiet. I got some nice pictures because the morning light was really beautiful. I slept until 11 and then we headed out to tour Prague. We wanted to do the same walking tour that they had in Berlin but we didn't make it their in time. So we saw it on our own and then Halley brought me to some other places that I hadn't seen. It was definitely a gorgeous city. The next morning we got up at 5:30 and headed out for the long travel day and finally arrived in Granada 24 hours later! I can't believe I was in Prague just yesterday!
It's good to be back and relax a little but not much since we are leaving for Paris on Thursday night! Only 23 more days till I am back in the states....nuts.
