We spent the weekend in Potsdam, part of the former East German section of Berlin eating asparagus (in season!) and buying super great pottery. We stayed a friends new apartment, and got salmon at the market to make for dinner. Very lovely. The weather was not as sunny as Ireland, but we still managed to get in a day trip to Sansousi castle in the city centre (amid a very large park). We toured the inside with the aid of audio guides, gawking at the flourishly decorated Rococo design. Then onto a five hour, very pleasant train ride to Prague. I'll have to check a map to verify our route, but I believe we were in bavarian country, and it was incredible. Arriving in Prague, we have checked into the self-accomadation style, 2-bedroom apartment (with free laundry, kitchen, TV, breakfast AND wi-fi) which we only paid about $35 Canadian dollars a night for. GREAT deal. We have acquired a map, about 1 kilogram of fresh cherries, and are now headed out to find a restaurant.
I <3 Praha. :)
