Money Exchange Rates, Budgets & Souvenirs
Money Exchange: You will need Czech koruna and Euros for our trip. The koruna is for Prague which is our first stop, and we are there 3 nights. You should have some koruna on you before we leave the US, so in case the rates at the airport are skyhigh, you can still buy a […]
Berlin Museum Pass
If you are an art fanatic, Berlin IS the best place for museum haunts. Arts students spend all summer in Berlin studying each floor of each of the 170 museums.

Day 17
IT IS SO HOT AND HUMID. I believe the kids said it is 90 out, plus the humidity. There is no reason to take a shower, before you can even dry off, we are sweating. The day began after an evil night out. We were robbed by the taxi drivers. |Grossly depressing us all. So […]

We went upstairs and […]
