Ahoj Prague

 Today was the last day of our vacation and tomorrow is our travel day. We started the day out taking the tram to Wenceslas Square, site of most of the historic happenings in this city. Michel, our guide gave us quite a tutorial of many of those events and tried to give us context as well. Then we met a local man, a former high school teacher, who was here during the Velvet Revolution. It was a very interesting talk about his experiences living under Soviet rule and the massive social upheaval that resulted in their pulling out. I found it extremely interesting and inspiring as well 

Lunch was at a restaurant that had a massive model train layout that they used to deliver food and drinks to the patrons. The food was so-so but the experience was interesting. 

We spent the afternoon packing up our belongings to get ready for travel and did all the online check in stuff in preparation for our trip home. We leave the hotel at 6 am to fly to Frankfort and then on to Orlando. It’s going to be a long day!

We had a farewell drink at the hotel bar and then went by bus to a local restaurant across town for a last meal together…beef goulash and dumplings again. The company and the conversation was good and I’ll miss seeing our travel companions. We’ve grown fond of them all. We said our goodbyes and we all scatter back to our homes tomorrow. It will be good to get back home and sleep in my own bed again. 

Ahoj!
