Hello guys and welcome back to our in-trail diaries.

We are currently in Berlin and we have stayed here for three nights and we had an amazing time.

But now we are on to our next destination which is...

Braag!

We are very very excited.

We have never been there before and we've heard some really good things about the city.

It takes about four and a half hours to take the train there.

And this time we have seat reservations which is good because on the way to Berlin we had some troubles finding seats.

It was so exhausting because we were just sitting on the floor

and yeah it's not the best so definitely reserve your seats if you know it's gonna be a busy train.

If you're in Prague and you have to transport by tram, then we found this app.

It's called PID.

This one.

And it's super convenient.

You just search the location you're going and you can buy tickets from there.

We have arrived into our hotel room.

Questionable.

Helge, you chose this hotel.

Or was it me?

No, I think it was you.

No, no, it was you.

I think it was you.

Nope, it was you.

Okay, so we have been looking on Airbnb and, you know, booking.com and everything.

And the prices are insane.

Like, the prices were even higher than in Berlin.

And I would have expected it to be the opposite.

But apparently it's, you know, a quite small city.

And it's so popular right now.

The prices are just rising.

So we tried to find something, you know, affordable

and we read some reviews and the pictures looked like decent but yeah I mean it's okay

so welcome to our room here we have the entrance

and then we walk into the room and here is the bedroom and here is the bathroom

we are in bed now finally very excited to go to

sleep we are just planning what we want to do tomorrow

and it's gonna be an early rise tomorrow and i'm so

so excited to see the city properly because it was like pitch black outside

when we were in the tram so we couldn't really see the city properly

so I'm very excited for tomorrow so good night for now

and we'll see you guys tomorrow good morning guys we are

currently waiting for the tram we are going to have some

very nice breakfast I got recommended a place called it top off their Instagram looked amazing

so we wanted to have some very a very gourmet breakfast.

The weather is really nice but it's definitely a little bit like a colder breeze than in Berlin.

It's a little bit more like fresher in a good way and it's pretty sunny, a little bit cloudy but it's a lovely weather.

Guys, this place is insanely beautiful.

I am shocked.

I've been standing the whole time just taking pictures of everything because it's so beautiful.

We ordered a grilled sandwich and chocolate pancakes and of course some lemonade.

Wow, wow, wow!

The food was amazing!

We loved the grilled cheese, it was delicious!

It had some type of like pickled vegetables

and a lot of cheese we actually paid for like extra cheese

and then there was like the sauce to dip it in

and it was just i want to make it at home

oh my god the pancakes were very like interesting it had

a lot of like strawberry things like strawberry jam fresh strawberries

and then it was like chocolate pancakes so

if you like those things then you're in for a treat

we might take the tram into the like city center

because it takes maybe like 40 minutes to walk there

and of course we want to save some time

so yeah we might hop on to the tram first it's time for an outfit check

Thank you.

I ended up buying the top from the vintage store

because I thought it was so cute

and it's gonna look very nice with my outfits during our interrail

and it doesn't take up so much space so it's gonna be fine.

I've definitely been holding back on buying stuff from the vintage stores

because I don't have space to buy all of those things unfortunately

but this time it was okay because i can use it during this trip

and it doesn't take up so much space

but we've just been walking around getting to know the city a little bit better

and we saw the rotating head and it was

so cool i got some messages about trying chimney cake

and since we have never tried it before i think it

would be fun to try it for the very first time

and i found a place nearby so we are gonna go and try it out.

The rain has finally stopped and we just got our chimney cake

and we got the Snickers flavor and I'm so excited to try it.

I think it's like caramel ice cream.

So chimney cakes are made from a sweet yeast dough that is rolled into a long rope and baked around a cylinder.

And it is a traditional Hungarian pastry apparently.

We have finished the top ice cream so now it's time to dive into the chimney cake.

Oh my!

It reminds me of croissant, but still kind of cinnamon.

It's like thicker than croissant.

But filled with ice cream.

This is very like filling.

We are walking over the Charles Bridge and the views are incredible here.

It's so beautiful.

But it's filled with people.

Like crowded.

There are so many artists that are drawing portraits of people.

And it's so cute.

I really want to do it.

But I think since we only have our backpacks, I think it would get wrinkled.

100

So maybe it's not the best idea.

101

But it's so nice.

102

We just walked around the Old Town Square and it was beautiful and there was like a flash mob going on,

103

everyone started dancing and it was so much fun.

104

We were thinking about having an early dinner

105

because we are very hungry we wanted to go to a park called latna park

106

and we were just thinking about grabbing some food on the way there

107

and there is a restaurant i'm not going to try

108

and pronounce it but this is the place

109

and it has 15 000 reviews and on the website they say

110

that they make freshly prepared homemade food

111

and I think you can have like goulash and stuff So we wanted to go and have some comfort food

112

We are walking towards the Latna Park We are going to go to the beer garden and have some beer.

113

I'm very excited But the food was like okay.

114

It was good

115

But I guess that we are just not very familiar and used to this type of cuisine But it was good food,

116

but it's maybe not our typical go-to dinner,

117

but it was fun to try it out The food is very good.

118

The food is very good.

119

Helgi ordered a pilsner and it was a bit interesting.

120

It was quite different from the one in Denmark.

121

It was more bitter, I would say.

122

Sour, I don't know.

123

Just different.

124

But it's fun to try it out.

125

good morning we just got ready i'm wearing my new t-shirt

126

that i thrifted yesterday and i actually also thrifted these in berlin he is wearing my shirt

127

that i thrifted in copenhagen

128

and these super nice cos trousers but we are about to head out

129

so there's actually supposed to be some rain today unfortunately very sad about

130

that so our plan is to go and see the Prague castle

131

because there's no rain right now but later today it's going to be raining

132

so then we are going to have our breakfast

133

and I found a really cute breakfast spot close to the

134

Prague castle it was recommended by you guys it's called Soto

135

and I read the menu and there were

136

so many things I was like yum yum yum yum so I know it's gonna be good let's get going

137

We just bought the tickets

138

and we're gonna start off by going to the St. Tvirus Cathedral which is here behind me

139

so thankfully it didn't rain I brought my blazer just in case It's also a bit colder than yesterday, so it's just good to have it with me.

140

But we just finished at the Prague Castle, and now we are on our way to go and have our breakfast, finally.

141

So, so hungry.

142

So now we are headed to Soto.

143

I am so happy that we ended up going to this place because it is beautiful.

144

We just got our food.

145

We ordered this burrata.

146

It's with peas, rocket, and basil.

147

And it's like grilled pocaccia here.

148

And then we have a grilled toast here, which looks amazing.

149

And then we actually got some dessert.

150

We will try it on later Oh my god,

151

the food was so tasty You should come to this place if you are in Prague Honestly like the vibe,

152

I think the owner is here.

153

He's just so sweet He was like explaining the whole menu and just very kind.

154

Now it's time for the desserts.

155

We are walking to the Strahau Monastery.

156

They have two libraries there and I saw on TikTok

157

that they are beautiful so we really wanted to go and see them.

158

We just sat down in the park

159

and I don't think this is a park where people come and have picnics because there's no one here.

160

We bought some blue cheese, Serrano ham, crackers and Coca-Cola

161

So of course we fell asleep in the park It was so nice, it was just so peaceful and I think we were a bit tired

162

I saw a video previously on like tips and tricks on interrailing

163

and this girl said that you should take a nap at 4pm every single day to get energy

164

but we only have this evening left in Prague

165

so we are going to take the tram to a wine bar that you guys recommended

166

We are walking in a neighborhood called Holesovice

167

and it reminds us of Lisbon but has like a Scandinavian type of vibe

168

but the houses are so colorful like you saw in the clips before and it's beautiful

169

It's dinner time!

170

We were craving some dumplings

171

and we found a spot close to the wine bar called Dimsum Spot Latna and it looked really delicious.

172

We are on our way there and it's the most beautiful sunset currently.

173

I don't know if you can see it, but it's beautiful.

174

It's been like two hours since we finished our dinner at the restaurant.

175

We unfortunately took the wrong tram.

176

and then we took another wrong tram

177

and it was just like a whole mess and

178

when it's this late the tram doesn't run as often

179

so we had to wait then we had to walk to another station

180

and oh my goodness it was a complete mess

181

but we are happy that we are back at our hotel

182

and we need go to bed

183

because we are waking up pretty early to go to our next destination

184

which is vienna we actually haven't been to any of the cities

185

that we are traveling to which is so exciting overall prague was

186

so amazing honestly it's a very like special city and it's so beautiful

187

I have never taken as many pictures of a city in my entire life.

188

The buildings here remind me a bit of Paris, but with a hint of Lisbon because of the colors.

189

And it's just, it's beautiful here.

190

And I feel like we got to know the city quite well during these two days that we were here.

191

I mean, of course, we could have explored it even better, but it's not like a huge city.

192

so if you are coming here then maybe two three four days should be enough

193

but thank you guys so much for watching and i'll see you in vienna bye

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
