Prague, Czech Republic


We took a few hours of train from Salzburg to Prague.


The scenery in the Czech Republic countryside is different from Austria and Germany as they are less developed and their trains and stations looks old and worn off.


We reached Prague in the evening and we were welcomed by the sights of casinos and these shops selling adult videos and photos around the city.

Salzburg, Austria

First, we checked in to our hostel in Salzburg. Its away from the city and thus we have to take a train there.

After reaching the station, we still have to hike up a steep slope to the hostel.

Fortunately it was worth the hike and we reach Haus Linder.

The house is runned by a couple of old Austrians and they decorated this guesthouse like their own home....

With nice decorations and furnitures

Fantastic view from this hill side guesthouse

Girls admiring their room.

Not bad for a hostel

Many mistaken Austria for Australia. No kangaroos in Austria!

Fortress Hohensalzburg, where princes of the Holy Roman Empire lives and protect themselves from enemies. The only time it lost its ground was to Napoleon when the inhabitants surrendered the fortress without a fight.

Allianz Arena @ Munich

In the evening, we took train to the Allianz Arena, the venue made famous after the 2006 World Cup.

It lit up at night and the color was white.

It changes color every half and hour, and it changed after we walked 10 minutes and reached the train station.

We walked back again to take more pictures.

Blue for 1860 Munchen, another club in Munich who shares the stadium
