Ok, I’m almost a year behind on my blog posts about my trip, so it’s time to wrap it up already!
On May 4th, 2009, I took the train from Berlin to Prague to attend Djangocon.

The city has its share of tourist trap areas where they will try to sell you anything:
Just ignore them, the view is worth the hassle.
The Vitava river is amazing:
