Back in Prague after a very long day of travel yesterday. We packed up our things in the morning and left our hostel, not without kisses from the hostel owners, too precious! My roommates had some souvenir shopping to do so we left early to walk towards the train station. I haven't bought much from the cities I've visited which is usually not like me. As a kid, I'd want all kinds of trinkets and gifts but now I'm satisfied with the memories I've made and pictures I've taken in each city.
When we arrived at Rome Fluminico Airport to get our boarding passes, my roommates didn't write down their confirmation numbers so they had to call home and wake up their families at 6am Eastern time! They definitely won't be making that mistake again. We got to the security line and it was so incredibly long we were thankful we got to the airport early. I don't know if it's just the Rome airport or just the Italian culture but it was such a haphazard process and they didn't even check our tickets and passports! Anyone could've walked through. Needless to say, I'm quite happy to be heading back to the States soon...
Our flight was delayed an hour (classic) and when it came time for boarding, again, they tried to make the process as inefficient as possible. The guy barely glanced at my passport too! Ridiculous. We took yet another bus to our plane that was out in the middle of nowhere...if I never have to ride a bus again I'll be a happy person. They try to stuff a whole flight on one bus and in 90 degree weather...you get the idea.
Flying through Dusseldorf was quick and painless and soon enough we were flying over Prague. It was cool to be able to point out all the sights I could spot, I could even see where we lived because we have a massive TV tower nearby. Since our metro line was under construction all weekend, we had to take the long way back via bus and switching metro lines. Definitely a public transportation expert by now.
It was such a relief to get back to our apartment but I had my midterm looming over my head that I hadn't started, whoops! I stayed up pretty late to finish it so I could relax today.
Justin, this guy I went to elementary and middle school with, has been backpacking around Europe and headed to Prague today and contacted me since he noticed I lived here. Facebook is crazy haha but I offered to let him and a friend stay in my apartment for 2 nights, after asking my roommates of course!
We had dinner at my favorite Indian restaurant and it was fun to reminisce on memories and mutual friends. Now about to hit the sack. Still so exhausted from Rome and not sleeping well. Class all day manana!
Sbohem,
