Awoke early for our shuttle to the airport. Turned out they just send a taxi and load it full of people. The ride to the airport was funny. A hostel guy we picked up was in the front seat. He kept falling asleep and leaned into the Turkish driver every 10 seconds. The driver was not happy with this. He would yell at the hostel guy saying no sleep! but the hostler would fall right back to sleep. The airport was new and nice. We were 3 hours early. The plane ride was only 2.5 hours and it was refreshing to be traveling by plane. In Prague, we caught a local bus, then the subway into town. Walked for sometime before finding a hotel. After we found one, we relaxed. We had bought tickets to Germany so we only had the afternoon and night to see Prague. This was no problem. We saw it all on foot in just a few hours. Very old city but full of tourists.
