Vienna, Austria

Derek and I had a fun time in Vienna. We toured around the city seeing all kinds of fun things. On the last full day we took a trip outside the city. We rented bicycles and were able to ride up and down the Danube river enjoying the country side.

We came upon some ruins of an old castle, so we took a hike to the top

Prague, Czech Republic

Derek and I went to Prague, it was a crazy time. Prague is a beautiful city that seems to come from a Disney film. It was very clean and quite Gothic looking.
