About 15 minutes before arriving in Prague, we stopped at a traditional Czech food restaurant. I got potatoes, a dish that tasted like vegetables and meet soaked then cooked in oil, delicious mushroom soup, and raspberry trifle. I really liked everything I got, but it was definitely too much food! Soon after lunch we reached Prague; it was very cold and windy during our guided tour. We walked around the grounds of the Prague Palace, crossed a Bridge over the river, an then continued to the main square.
On Tuesday we woke up at 5:50, were down in the lobby at 6:30 for breakfast, and left around 7:00. On the way we stopped at a gas station to exchange money. It was interesting because it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, but there was a miniature theme park, a store that looked like a castle with a giant dragon and wizard on top, a restaurant inside of an airplane, and a big world. The theme park seemed pretty vacant and the gate was open so we explored a little bit. Apparently you can buy your own tokens, insert them into the ride, and operate the ride by yourself. After we began driving again, Olya asked who wanted to go on the boat ride. We had the option to ride a boat in either Budapest or Prague but I hadn't planned on going on any boat rides because of the extra cost. However, the more I got thinking about it, the more I thought about how much I would like to experience a dinner boat ride down the river in Prague. So both Kristina and I decided to go. About 15 minutes before arriving in Prague, we stopped at a traditional Czech food restaurant.

We walked around the grounds of the Prague Palace, crossed a Bridge over the river, an then continued to the main square. After the tour, we had about an hour before our boat ride so we explored the main square a little bit, went inside a church, and made our way to dock 6. The main layer of our boat was indoor with tables, a buffet bar, a bathroom, and a small staircase that led to the top deck. There was lot of traditional Czech food at the buffet. I had potatoes, ham, cheese, salad, bread dumplings, fried cauliflower, lots of French fries, chocolate covered cookies with some type of cream, and chocolate covered cookies with mouse on top. I really like all of the food! The river was gorgeous with the building lights reflecting into the still water. After we ate, we went onto the top dock. It was very chilly, but such a pretty view; i'm really glad we chose to do the boat ride. Eastern Europe is so beautiful!
