Samtag, 2 Februar
A good start to a good day....
Left at 8am sharp from Vienna, and about 2 hours later we started seeing signs in Czech. Prague appeared on a distant hilltop, looking perfectly castle like and magical. I found Prague similar to Vienna with its sculptures, but with a more eastern, steepled, almost medieval-castle like flair.

| The Astronomical Clock! |
 |
| The outdoor market had a whole marionette witch section, and they would all cackle and jump around if you clapped loud enough. |
 |
| They sold beautiful clocks, complete with "Praha," the Czech word for Prague. |
I stopped for some Goulash in this hole in the wall place:
 |
| This place had a juke box that played everything from Blues to Big Band to Heavy Metal. Sometimes in German or Czech. |
 |
| Goulash! |
 |
| Narrow Alley near the Synagogue. |
|
 |
| Prague souvenirs: Some lovely new earrings, and some Czech crowns. |
After our 2 hour lunch break in Prague, we head off to Dresden, and arrived at an unexpectedly South-of-the-border themed hostel:
 |
| Our room is a bit wild. I call it jungle themed. |
Then, our entire travel group went out to a classy Italian restaurant called Al Capone, and chat and feasted in a candle-lit cellar. Lovely.
 |
| Appetizers. My favorite was the eggplant on the right. |
 |
| Ham, mushroom, cheese pizza! |
 |
| Icecream puff on top of an orange, drizzled in dark chocolate. Mmmmmm. |
