CZECK ME OUTTTT

On our way to Prague, we stopped at the Loisium Hotel & Winery for lunch. It was a fabulous hotel, definitely a must revisit. A few AWESOME things concerning the hotel and winery: it was designed by STEVEN HOLL, they had the most awesome chairs and swings, and of course the WINE. The one thing I have taken up on while in Europe is the WINEEE, in the last three weeks I have probably consumed more wine than in my entire twenty-one years of life ... just saying. Unfortuneately we had to leave after only 4 hours but we were lucky enough to get one day in Prague. Prague is full of hills and everything is layered so no matter where you are in the city you have a view of a lot. There is a main river dividing the old town and the new town with bridges spanning between the two points. The old town is pretty much completely at the top of the biggest, steepest hill I have ever climbed in 80 degree weather wearing jeans, a blazer and a scarf (obviously I didn't check the forecast that day) but it was totally worth it, it provided the most amazing view of the city and had one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen. I wish I had more to say about Prague, but being there for only one day I didn't get to experience as much as I would have liked. Guess that means I will have to go back soon. Up next Berlin!

P.S. To give you an idea of how much we do in one day: In Prague a kid decided to run his pedometer, we walked a little over twelve miles in about seven hours.
