Prague

S will edit this later and add some photos. After a trying train ride from Bratislava we are in Prague. Our train had "technical difficulties" somewhere in the middle of the Czech Republic and was able to limp into a station. Luckily another train going to Praha was coming through in 10 minutes and we emptied the train we were on and crammed onto this other train. Luckily we met a very nice gentleman who adopted us. His name was Jan and he is a native Slovakian and works in Prague as a mechanical engineer. He translated for us and helped us navigate the stations. We had some great conversations and learned a lot about both Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
We finally arrived in Prague only about an hour and change later than originally planned. Taking the transit was quite easy but it was still a pretty good walk through the snow to our hotel. But it was all worth it. The hotel is unbelievable and very luxe. We are across the street from the US embassy in a very good area, basically right next door to the castle. So the adventure in Prague will begin. Luckily I have been here before so I can guide us a bit.

Now a recap of Bratislava. It was great. A very neat place that I would recommend to anyone. I think it is a jewel of eastern europe. They were doing construction on their main castle so we didnt get to go into it but it didn't stop us from hiking up the hill to go see it anyways. The area around Bratislava has served as a decisive military outpost since even before the Romans set up camps there.
