Europe White Christmas Adventures - Day 17 - Berlin
We had a relaxed day today walking around Berlin. The main sites we checked out were the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall Memorial. They were both great to see.

Europe White Christmas Adventures - Day 16 - Berlin
Today was kicked off with a walking tour around Berlin. It was -9 degrees and poor Declan was not happy, so we only last 1 out of the 3 hours of the tour.

Europe White Christmas Adventures - Day 15 - Travelling Day - Prague to Berlin
Our holiday is passing much too quickly! Today we headed to our final destination - Berlin!!
We were pretty annoyed though to get onto our train to find that 2 out of our 5 reserved seats were actually NOT on the train. They had seemingly reserved 2 seats that did not exist. So BJ had to stand for almost the entire 4 hour journey, and the children rotated who got to sit down. I was fortunate since I was holding Declan while he slept I had a seat the entire time apart from a small time where I stood so BJ could sit.
Upon arriving in Berlin we were shocked by the cold! It was freezing!!! We caught two separate taxis to our apartment and had to drop our luggage as we were a bit early and go for a walk. I didn't capture any pictures, but will ensure there are lots taken tomorrow.

Europe White Christmas Adventures - Day 14 - Prague
This morning Keenan and I were up early to walk over to visit with some friends for breakfast. It was pretty incredible that friends of ours were visiting Prague at the same time. Getting up early was worth it to see our friends, and also to get some amazing Prague photos!
After visiting with our friends we headed back to the apartment and when the rest of the family were ready we headed out for a big walk around Prague to check out the sites in the daylight.

Europe White Christmas Adventures - Day 13 - Travelling Day - Cesky Krumlov to Prague
Today we had a private transfer from Cesky Krumlov to Prague. This was an easy 3 hour transfer and we arrived into Prague at around 2pm.
We were a little early to check into our accommodation, so we dropped our bags and went for a quick walk to get our bearings.
After a little rest back at our apartment we headed back out to check out the Old Town. Since it was 1 January - we were told that there were amazing fireworks off Charles Bridge. The only issue was when we got to Charles Bridge it was insanely busy, so we quickly decided it was not the right spot for us with a pram! We then continued to wander about Prague and check out the Christmas markets which were just beautiful.
