Thursday, April 8, 2010 (Part 1):We were up bright and early on Thursday morning (at 5:30 a.m.) to travel to the Prague airport and then on to Vienna. It's a very short flight, barely an hour. So we were hopeful that that would allow us almost a full day of sightseeing in Vienna.
This is the third European airport I've been in on this trip. They are all quite similar and relatively manageable. We've had no difficulty finding our way around and there are always a lot of agents around willing to give a helping hand. The airport seemed very quiet this morning. It's quite different from the hustle and bustle that we experienced on Easter Monday.
We took off on time. Thank goodness. We were just minutes (literally) before Air Force One was to touch down. President Obama was arriving in Prague for a meeting with Russian President Medvedev to sign a nuclear arms treaty.
Pictured here is one of the several ancient "gates" to the city that still exist. This particular gate sits on the east side of the Charles Bridge below the Prague Castle.
