To be sure,we wish we were! After an on-time flight from Chicago to Frankfurt, zipped through immigration and tried to find customs to no avail. We concluded that if Germany wanted us to go through customs, it would have been obvious...we just picked up our rental car and were on our way.
To Prague....5 hours away...a lofty goal given that we had had no sleep and had spent the night as sardines in the new squished seating on Lufthansa with passengers in front of us in full recline!! We both hit the jet lag "wall" about 4 hours into the drive but managed to get to Prague with minimal damage to any of the citizens of the Czech Republic!
Prague is as beautiful as ever...a grand, elegant old city that has made a comeback from the ravages of Communism.
Our hotel, the Hotel Ankora, where we stayed on a previous visit, is as comfortable and welcoming as before. We have a great room with a spa tub...very delicious after the days travails.
Dinner found us at a wonderful Italian restaurant on the Wenceslas (sp) Square where we will dine again on a future visit. Ristorante Italiano Buschetto provided superior service, excellent food and good music.
Tomorrow will find us taking a 6 hour Prague tour to give us an overall view of the city and its history. We don't often do these, but this one seems particularly good.
Now off to bed to try to beat the ravages of time change!! Maybe to wake up younger in body than tonite!!!!
