48 Hours in Prague: Part I

Arrived in Prague in Thursday night, after an uneventful and perfectly adequate bus trip - by which I mean it was fine and cost effective. The Dark Knight Rises on the iPad was quite helpful over the four hour ride. But, there was lots of beautiful scenery outside Vienna - the kind that would not capture well on film and so I simply enjoyed it myself. 

The first order of business, after finding the hotel and dropping off my backpack? That would be food and the so-called world famous Czech beer. The result was probably the best burger I've had in Europe and a damn good pilsner:

The public transportation in this city is nice. It may not top Vienna but its clean, easy enough to follow, and effective. Three underground subway lines each labelled with a different color and letter (creatively named A, B, and C). Busses and surface trams are also decently organized, easy to access, and clean. 

Friday I woke up early and hit the sights I wanted to see. That will follow in Part II.
