Triple sleeper to Prague

From Zurich, Switzerland, we boarded an overnight train to Prague. Despite having reduced our load by one huge suitcase, it was still laughable trying to load our triple bunk sleeper car with all of our crap...not to mention, as we were boarding, the conductor said no dogs were allowed in the sleeper cars (so I just kept walking past him like I didn't understand...).

As you can imagine, it was a rough night of sleep! With melatonin and Xanax for most of us, we made it to Prague in one piece. Tyler and I woke up with Presley's cold which made the week a little more challenging than we'd hoped, but Prague was a major bucket list for both of us, so we rallied!

We stayed near the town square with one of the oldest astronomical clocks in the world, installed in 1410.

We viewed the Charles Bridge from a million angles over the week...

Took an obligatory pic at the Lennon Wall ...

Presley became more civilized due to the modern art...

The incredible riverfront architecture...

The chimney cake...

And we even got a date night...here we are sitting in the window of an adorable wine bar.

In general, we didn't find Prague to be the most child friendly city. But we did find an awesome park with a huge climbing structure and a way too dangerous for California zipline.

And I got my steps in, carrying an extra 40 pounds most days.

At the end of the chilly day, we'd hole up in the Spa room at our hotel which was heavenly.

Finally, we followed the advice of our hotel and checked out the Prague Zoo. We were super pompous and told him that we had one of the best zoos ever in San Diego, but we were absolutely blown away. The property was so spacious, the enclosures were huge, the animals were magnificent and we were able to be so much closer to them. So if you are ever in Prague, and you think SD Zoo is the absolute best, be prepared to be wrong.
