Praha!
K so we woke up and caught our 6 am train, then we crashed for a little bit. Our next train switch was about 710, so not that long of a nap, but the train was verrrrry nice :). Then we got on the next train just fine and it was less nice, but it had cabin things and 5 of us got in one that had 8 seats so then we shut the door and closed the curtains and kicked up our feet and got comfy :) That was a good nap for about 2 hours. Then the third train was going to be our haul to get to it connection (we only had 8 minutes and had no clue what platform it was on etc.) but then we got there and it said "BUS" so then we went outside and there was a line of buses which was very unexpected. We got on the bus we were supposed to be on and it was super crowded - I sat in the aisle lol. It took us over to another train station where we hopped on our train there, no problem. That lasted about 2 1/2 hours total w/ bus and train. We didn't have to reserve seats on any of these trains so no money wasted :D Then about 12:40 we unloaded in Prague's main train station!!! Yep still not as nice as the station in Florence, but we're spoiled, what can I say?! Lol. From there we found the ATM because we needed Koruna (Czech currency) which is ridiculously confusing because it's worth almost nothing. Last night I paid 49 for dinner at KFC (which is very different than KFCs back home, no normal chicken and no normal sides, but still tasty when you're starving lol) which is less than $2-3! After the ATM we needed food so we left the station and found legit food with falafels (here you go Bubba!), gyros, pizzas, and lots of otther stuff too. It was super cheap and most of us shared stuff. Prague's pretty cheap like everyone said that had been free traveling here before. Then we made our way to our hostel - Yans' Residence. It is super nice, not really hostel-feeling at all. We have all 8 of us in one apartment loft type room. We all freaked at how nice it was :) and they said that I definitely found the most legit hostel for free travel ever lol. Then we walked around some and found Starbucks! They had the best mango drink ever :) We just chilled there and actually got some pointers from this Canadian dude who was super nice. Then later we got some dinner and explored some more.
