Petrin Hill was the site we visited today. It was quite an experience. There is a tram that runs up the hill, but we opted not to take that and conquer it ourselves. Oh how I love hills! Haha. It was nice though, seeing the city from all the different views on the hill. It was really amazing actually, just how you can be on this hill and see over the city.
After reaching the top (out of breath of course), we came upon a band playing some Czech music (I'm assuming Czech since I didn't understand it). This guy in the band was playing a recorder (remember from 3rd grade) and he was rocking it! I loved it! It was quite a sight to see!
After that, we did what I consider the highlight of Petrin Hill, the Petřínská rozhledna. In English, it means Petrin lookout tower, and some call it a mini-Eiffel Tower. Ok...it may be mini, but it's still tall...299 stairs to the top to be exact...and yes, Kami and I climbed every last one!! :) Getting to the top was worth it, though, since we had an amazing view of Prague. It was really beautiful!!
We then grabbed a quick bite to eat in a little place on the hill and then walked around to see what else the hill had to offer. There were tons of roses in a garden on the hill...they were so pretty. There were many couples up there and I couldn't help but to think how romantic it would be to go there with your significant other...so if you and your spouse travel to Prague, go see the rose gardens on the hills...they're great!
So that was our day...lots of sites in beautiful Prague!! Back to class tomorrow!
