I had to head back to school with a vengeance a while the Bob got to flaunt about Prague checking out all the cool things I wanted to see with him. He did however accompany me to my my first class back on Monday.
My first class on Monday was drawing class. We were supposed to be doing figure drawing and the lady was "quite fat, quite old, but quite good model" according to my professor. It took me the entire trip to talk the Bob into going and to use the new sketch book I had gotten him...
Well we get to school Monday morning and our model was not there... she had other engagements. So off we went to Saint Nicholas Cathedral... Beautiful high baroque architecture. We sat there and sketched until our fingers froze. Then off to lunch at Bohemian Bagel with the group of grad kids. It is the closest thing to American food that you can get in Prague.
Tuesday...
Was my day off of class. We got up fairly early and with Lindsay ran to Vyshrad which is the old ruins and parts of a 9th century castle located in the southern part of Prague. It is a nice run because you can run there mostly by connecting parks. Bob really enjoyed the view from up there because you can see all of Prague from atop the ridge.. all the way to the next castle.
The rest of the day we spent doing laundry, eating and just plain old chilling out.. We hadn't realized how exhausted we were from 10+ days of traveling... We were happy just to hang around and read and catch up with each other.
Apparently the Bob needed less rest than I did and ended up going out that night with out me. He went to a neighborhood bar with all of the guys to play foosball.
Wednesday...
Was a big day for the Bob and myself. I spent the entire day working and going to class and Bobby spent the entire day hiking around the city. Early in the morning I took him with me to a sight visit out in Prosek. He got to see how the other half of Prague lives. You can check out an entire blog on Prosek earlier in my bloglife.
Thursday:
My second pinup! My group did really well...
Bob spent the morning at the pension. I made it back to him around lunch time and took him to my favorite neighborhood spot. We had lunch and then took our luggage to the bus station. We were hoping to hop on a bus to Cesky Krumlov but the one we had hoped for was full... So we opted for the train (slower version).
We got on the metro and went to the train station and I bought us 2 tickets for Cesky Krumlov. We went to the track easily enough and got an a train for Cesky Budoviche where we would make the connection.
Once on the moving train the conductor came to check our tickets. After looking at them he told me in Czech that we were on the wrong train... Wrong I said. We knew that we need to go to Cesky Budoviche and we would connect there... After arguing with me for several minutes he gave up and left us alone. We gathered that he had wanted us on a later train that would be more direct. We didn't really care. We made it to Cesky Budeviche and only had to wait 20 minutes for our connecting train to Cesky Krumlov.
Once in Cesky Krumlov, the Bob and I walked 2km into the city center at night with the whole town below us lit and so picturesque. We should have stopped to take pictures but we need to get to the hostel and check in...
but you should check these pictures out from the pin up and Bob's time in Prague...
