We hadn't planned on visiting Prague at this point in our trip, but we took a detour from Slovakia because our friend Ben, he started this trip with us, was in Europe and was able to meet us in Prague if we headed there sooner than later. We will be visiting Slovakia again later, so I will write about that then.

Long story short we got done for fare e...

This time we met the neighbors, we had already had dinner when they invited us over for what we thought was drinks, but it turned out to be dinner, fortunately we had our first dinner early and this second dinner was quite late, around 10.30. It was wonderful, most of it ...
