Post Grad European Tour

We had another amazing, late night! We all took naps and then headed to dinner around 9. We had pizzas at an Italian restaurant, which were delicious!! We then headed to an Irish pub for beers and tequila shots. We met up with some creighton study abroad friends of Declan and freeman (I swear freeman knows everyone). At 12:30, we headed to the craziest club I’ve ever seen, Kapital. It was 7 stories and it was packed!! They played a mix of Spanish and English music. We all had rum and cokes, except for Cole who has a newfound love of gin and tonics. Crazy enough, we ran into some Creighton seniors we didn’t know were in Madrid. One of them was the other Creighton Award winner!! They are the ones in the video. We danced the night away and headed home around 4:30. We stopped for kebabs and fries and hit the beds around 5. We again are in shambles as we had to check out by 11. It was worth it though! Such a fun night!Читать далее

After our first stop, we had a short drive to our next stop that was still in the same National Park. We had a yummy lunch in a super small town. Cole and I had really good locally caught trout. We then had a super steep descent to the Kamenice River, which was incredible. We had a short hike to a 30 minute boat ride down the river, where I got some really great pictures (the first 3 are from there). The hike back up was BRUTAL! it was so steep and we were soaked after we finished it. Next, we had an hour drive to our final stop, the Bastei Bridge, just across the border in Germany. It was by far the easiest and flattest hike, as we could almost drive up to it. The bridge used to connect to an ancient castle that has since been destroyed. You can still see remnants of the stairs that led to the castle. The views from the bridge were amazing! I had to include a pic of our guide giving another long lecture on why the rocks were different colors. We then had roughly a 2 hour ride back to Prague, which had us back home around 6. We immediately left for food as we were starving. We had a fancier dinner in the main square that was really good. We capped the night by meeting our high school buddy Joey at a local pub, who is also on a graduation trip. We shared a few beers and some stories from our trips. Really great to see him! A really fun way to cap our time in Prague!

I also realized I completely got to give Shiela Roeder a shoutout for our dinner on Prague day 2! Like I said, it may have been our favorite meal of the trip, and she both recommended the spot and sponsored the meal. Thank you so much!!!Читать далее
