Prague, Czech Republic

 After leaving Poland, we drove through the Czech Republic to stay in Prague for a few days.  Above is the colorful street where our Airbnb was.  (Parking was hard during this whole trip, lol!)  After the hardest parking job of my husbands life, we walked or took the tram everywhere and didn't get in the car again until we were ready to leave Prague.  Lol.  (It was the same in Budapest and Krakow). 

Our host recommended a restaurant and we walked to it for dinner on our first night.  It was such a friendly place, and we were astounded at how cheap everything was.  The food was really good, too.  I tried one of the national Czech dishes- svíčková na smetaně, which is marinated sirloin served with bread dumplings, a cream sauce, cranberries, and a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.  I loved all the cream sauces we had in these countries!  So good!! 

Pic above, cathedral.  Below, the changing of the guard.  Following pics, cathedral again, and stain-glass windows inside of it. 

My son celebrated his 7th birthday while we were in Prague, so we went to a nearby bakery and everyone picked out a slice of cake.  We had some presents for him and he loved his Prague birthday. 

After Prague, we drove home through Austria and stayed there one night.  I don't have any good pics but we loved our Airbnb and hope to return.  It was a great trip, we saw so much and visited countries we hadn't ever been to before.
