I can't belive the last leg of the trip is hear!

Feeling pretty good myself after a good night's sleep, but Kirstyn thinks she's coming down with something.  Hopefully it will pass and not affect the tail end of the trip for her. 

We made it down to breakfast with plenty of time and are enjoying being able to take our time and relax.  The only thing on the agenda before the train is to head out to see the dancing building by one of Kirstyn's favorite architects.

We got paced and cleaned up before proceeding to check out.  Like most places they were nice enough to hold our bags for us while we meandered a bit before leaving the city.  The "Fred and Ginger" building (as it's also known because it looks like two people dancing, ie Fred Astaire and Ginger Roberts) was pretty cool.  We didn't stay long, but did get some good pictures.

One our way back to the hotel to get our bags, we stopped in a pub and got lunch.  We found a good place relatively near our hotel and had some Czech potato soup in a bread bowl.  Yum!  The service was also very good and was a nice way to close out Prague with found memories.

We had a bit farther to go this time to the train station because the train to Berlin doesn't depart from the same station that we arrived in (which is the main station in Prague).  It was a little cool out but we decided to walk it still, even though we had our heavy bags bags with us.  We arrived with plenty of time, but couldn't see anything about trains to Berlin!  We quickly realized that although we were in a different station than the main Prague station, we still were in the wrong one.  Oops.  At this point we needed to hop a cab to get us to the right place, and luckily found one in time.  He quoted us a price up front which put us a little at ease, but the path there was quite a mess of zig-zagging streets!  With out a set fair I would have been convinced that we were getting taken advantage of.  He was good and we there with about 10 minutes to spare (and we definitely wouldn't have made via foot or PT at that point either).

The train ride to Berlin from Prague was beautiful and the most scenic route of the trip.  At the time of writing this we've only got an about an hour and 1/2 left and we'll be there!
