We are so far behind on our blogging! In November I had a couple day holiday and Gail and I booked a trip to Prague. This wasn't our first choice, but what a great surprise we got!
Prague was occupied by the Germans in WW2, but not destroyed as so many other European cities were. The architecture is unbelievable and the city is very clean and welcoming.
Being November, we had all kinds of weather. Rain, Sun and finally snow!
We flew all night and hit the ground running in the morning. The old city is easily walked, but there are many alleys and side streets that needed exploring.

Gail and I did a tour that went to the castle, the town square and a boat ride on the river. Very informative. The next day we met up with friends from Abu Dhabi for a lunch of pig knuckle and beer, and booked a brewery tour with them for later that night. The beer was great and the guide super informative.
The next day we did an underground tour and went to dinner with Jim and Christie. I highly recommend that you include Prague in your list of must-see's. But don't go during the summer, I hear it is super crowded.
One of the best things about Prague is "hot wine" on a cold day. We did a lot of comparative sampling trying to find the best. The other thing I liked is that you never have to wonder where your next meal or beer is going to come from. There are pubs and restaurants everywhere!
Although we only had three days there, I feel like we squeezed in quite a bit.
