After a full day of traveling, we made it to our final destination: Prague! When we made it to the airport, we were greeted by our wonderful guide, Jana. After loading up our bags, we hopped on the bus and traveled into the city! On the way, Jana gave us many important reminders about safety and the culture that we should be aware of while traveling throughout the city.
The first sight as we entered the city was truly breathtaking and one I will never forget: crossing a bridge over the Vltava River, and to my right, was the Prague Castle. This was when it hit me: we were actually in Prague.
After taking a brief pit-stop at the hotel to check-in, we were off to our first group dinner in Prague. I ordered the Pilsen Goulash. This was my first time ever having goulash and my first authentic dish in the Czech Republic — it was delicious! I am looking forward to exploring other new foods throughout the rest of the trip!
We ended our night with a short walk around the city and into a nearby supermarket to explore a little bit before heading back to the hotel to unpack and settle in before heading to bed!
