From 24 to 27 May I visited Eva in Budapest for a couple of days doing bugger all, walking around the city and eating yummy turkish food. Then, on the way back to Berlin I paid a short visit to Prague. I had been there 10 years ago and remembered it being full of tourists but really beautiful. Well, at 7am Prague lives up to the hype. I had the bridge to myself, I wandered the cobbled streets alone without the hordes, and finally understood what it is about Prague that makes the tourists flock there (not that many of those tourists see the Prague I had to myself that morning!). But, by 11.30 I was on the train home to Berlin, having already gotten sick of American accented old women shouting to one another, "Oh my lord isnt it beautiful."
