This weekend Emilie and I are visting Prague, a city that I've wanted to see for a long time given all the great feedback on it that I've heard from others. Emilie visited the city with her parents about 20 years ago, so in a way it's like seeing a new city for her as well.
We arrived late tonight as we didn't find a direct flight and instead had to connect through Frankfurt. As such, we headed straight to the hotel from the airport and didn't plan anything for this evening. We have all day tomorrow and almost all of Sunday to explore, though, so we should be able to see a lot during our stay.
Our hotel is in the Malá Strana ("Lesser Town") neighborhood of the city, which is below Prague Castle and just across the river from the Old Town. The decor in the hotel is pretty interesting. Our room feels like we went back in time a couple of centuries.
One of the things that I had heard about Czechs is that they are very nice people and this has definitely proved to be true thus far (though we're dealing with a small sample size -- 1). Our cab driver gave us a nice overview of the city and some helpful tips to ensure a smooth visit.
