We left Rome, Italy today and moved on to the Czech Republic in prague. We ate at a different place for breakfast, the cafeteria, and we ate a much larger meal. In addition to a pastry and cappuccino they also gave us an omelette with ham and cheese. The omelette was just eggs folded in half with a piece of ham and cheese running the length of the omelette. It was good that way. We left in a hurry to catch our train to the airport. We flew out of FCO, Rome Fiumicino, whereas we flew into Rome at Ciampino. FCO was easier to get to because we went directly from Termini to the airport by a non-metro train. The lines, we suspect, may have been worse. If we did this again, I suspect we may try going with a carry-on bag, or perhaps only checking one bag between the two of us. Our bags weighed about 8 KG and 10 KG. I believe the limit may have been 14 KG. When we were trying to buy our train tickets in Rome, a scammer offered to help us. When we arrived in Prague, a guy by the bus offered to sell us a taxi for 500 Koruna, which is a rip off. 20 Koruna is 1 USD. Once we got to our hostel, we checked in and ate at the restaurant next door, Pizzeria Corto. We got a 20% discount there. There is a vibrant marketplace outside our apartment/hostel. We went to look at the astronomical clock tower. Linda convinced me to walk to the top, but I stayed inside the glass. I don’t think I’m getting any better with the whole heights thing. After that, we walked across the Charles Bridge. I was concerned going there because it’s supposed to be bad for pickpockets. We saw a guy on the Metro in Rome get pick-pocketed and I’ve been concerned a bit more since. After that, we went to a micro brewery restaurant to have a few beers, U Tri Ruzi. We went home to call it an early night.
Going on and on
