Prague Days Five & Six

Prague Days Five and Six 

We were joined by some of their friends for a great Columbian meal and several hours of conversation before hopping on a tram to head out to a few bars for some more drinks.. that meant Absinthe shots for me! I love the stuff, tastes great and gets you f**^ed up!! Plus the whole ritual is fun. 

After that the girls recommended a good gay club for me to check out that I hadn't tried yet, and the Swedes decided to go with me for a drink since it was on the way to their next place, and they're way cool dudes. The place was HOPPIN. Packed with fun, hot people and playing great music. I said goodbye to the boys and spent the next few hours dancing and meeting people. Closing out the night again around 5am. Perfect last night on my trip. 

Sunday I got up early and packed, checked out of the hotel and went to The Globe for some drinks and breakfast. It was raining, so I spent a few hours there before getting called by the boys to meet up for lunch, and a recap of the previous nights debauchery. 

We walked across Prague to Bohemian Bagel, a KILLER resturant that I wish I had found at the begining of my trip. We even ran into one of our friends from dinner the night before. After a great lunch we walked around Prague Square and across the Charles Bridge before crossing back and hitting an Absinthe shop so I could bring home a bottle of the Green Fairy. I said a final goodbye to the boys and headed back to my hotel to write my last blog entry of my actual trip... if there's another it will simply be about my 2 days of travel home. I have to catch the night train to Frankfurt tonight and then my flight home tomorrow. 

Its been an amazing trip. I met a bunch of great people that I'm sure (thanks to Facebook) I'll keep in touch with. The Swedes are planning a trip to LA in the fall so it will be fun to show them around my neck of the woods. So many great and new experiences, it's sad to see it end. However, I will be happy to get back to my friends and my bed, my job and my family, all are missed. Thanks to everyone who stayed in touch with me, and read my blog, hope it wasn't too boring (I know on some of them I wrote a LOT of details :P).

Prague Days Three & Four

Considering how late I was out, I think getting up at noon was still pretty good. I headed out around the town. Taking in more of the sights. I'm not sure I would ever get used to seeing all the stunning scenery even if I was living here. I took it really easy all day buying a new book, relaxing and having coffee in Prague Square, and just enjoying the city. Treated myself to a nice dinner at my favorite place near my hotel and called it an early night.

Day four started much earlier. I walked over to the train station and purchased my ticket to Frankfurt on the night train for Sunday. It's gonna be sad to have to go home, but I'm looking forward to seeing all my friends again and sleeping my own bed. I spent the rest of the day doing more exploring of the city. Its the kinda place where getting lost is really fun. I found a coffee shop down an alley behind a spectacular church and kicked it for a few hours before heading back to my hotel and getting ready for the night. I met up with the Swedes and their friends from the night at the bar opening for a great dinner and fantastic conversation on world politics. Afterwards they were going to a strip club before going clubbing so I made plans to hit a gay place for a few hours and meet back in our neighborhood later.

It worked out perfectly. The club I went to was spectacular and the guys there even better. I'll skip the next 4 hours from the blog and jump to meeting back up with the Swedes at Nebe to close the night out at around 4am again. Great evening. Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.
