Elizabeth's European Adventure - Part 6

In her own words: 

I think it's safe to say that Prague was hands down the best city that Sophia, Abby and I visited. Our airbnb host sent a driver to the airport, and the drive into the city was beautifully scenic. Our airbnb was situated in the Old Town area of the city, so we were right in the thick of all the historical landmarks and culture.
On Saturday, after dropping our luggage off at the airbnb, we set out to explore the city. We crossed one of Prague's many bridges and hiked up to the famous Prague castle. We then proceeded to climb up the castle tower (over 280 steps) where we could see a panoramic view of the city. Unfortunately the skies opened up  and it poured and thundered for about two hours (this was actually really cool to see from the tower!). Luckily Abby, Sophia and I were prepared for this to happen and we managed to fill the time by eating lunch at the castle's cafe.
We explored more of the city in the evening, going to the Old Square and the Charles Bridge, and stopping in a bunch of touristy shops. On Sunday, we got brunch and continued to walk around and take in the city, enjoying time in parks and a flea market. Prague was a really relaxing and enjoyable experience for all of us, and we wished that we had more time there!
Now, we return to Park for the last segment of our study abroad "may-mester".
Shoutout to [Lee's cousin Alison] for recommending places to visit and eat in Prague.

Our favorite view of the castle.
