As a Czech I really must appreciate that you actually care about the history and culture of not only Czechia but also other countries. It is very rare to see such travellers among youtubers.

Be weary of averages. My statistics professor once told me that averages are very nice and having said that you should be able to stand with one foot in a bucket of ice water and one foot in a bucket of boiling water and on the average you should be very comfortable. This is a once in a life time opportunity and your $100 day spend rate is a goal. However, do not let the goal destroy the adventure.

Wise words. The "average family", the "average income". There's no such thing. If the trip ends up being $150 so what, it's exactly as you said, a once in a life time opportunity.

Thanks! I grew up learning to hide under my desk when the air raid sirens would go off. My first job was repairing rotary phones, later changing them out for button phones. Glad you were cold and uncomfortable, so that I am not. I get Kona coffee for breakfast ... you get sardine spread. 😂 ☕🇺🇸

The more I watch you two, the more I fall in love with you! You are both adorable! Natalie’s zest for life is infectious. You may have a new calling-as a tour guide to unique places. I’d go in a second! Happy travels!!❤TN Nana

The fact that I know exactly how all of the things in the bunker feel and smell makes me feel old.... 😂

Thank you for taking us along.

A “battery room” in military speak is more a room for equipment and weapons than what we think of as batteries for say solar power storage.

Oh no going between Prague and Brno by bus. Next time I would definitely recommend a train. Its same time, a little bit more expensive but 100% more comfortable. Also many of the long distance train have dining cars with good options to eat along the way.

I'm from Frankfurt and that you stayed in a Hostel in the Bahnhofsviertel was a Adventure too. Its like the Tenderloin District in San Francisco. Sorry that you didn't go to Places like Apfelwein Wagner in Frankfurt/Sachsenhausen and eat only Pizza and Sausage. Frankfurt is famous for its Green Sauce with Schnitzel and Apfelwein in old Restaurants. Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen is such a nice old and charming District. Frankfurt could be very harsh, dirty and unpleasent in the Bahnhofsviertel.

A lesson on how to dial a rotary phone. Very funny for an 80 year old.

It's the first time I've seen a bunker hotel.But I've experienced the old phone. We're probably the same age.

That was different. Thanks tho , as very interesting. Had to laugh at the rotary phone or dial phone as we call them. Showing my age but we had one till I was 20. 😝

Natalie, you are a fabulous tour guide!!!

Wow! What an interesting place to stay. These will for sure be wonderful memories to look back on when you are old and in retirement years. So much love from SC...thanks for letting us tag along!!!❤🙏Jane in SC (My Dad liked sardines, so he would have enjoyed that breakfast, but I'd have been eating yogurt with Nat!😘)

When i was in my late teens we had a “party line” phone. You had to lift the receiver and be sure no one else was using the phone already,otherwise you had to wait,and they were on a rotary phone….showing my age…lol

I am so sick with the flu right now but seen your video pop up so gave me something else to focus on for a bit. Thanks

Spent a night there two years ago. The atmosphere, the darkness and the constant hum of the air condition is just beyond description, you have to experience it. And the nuclear shelter exhibition sends shivers down your spine - all the what ifs that go through your head. Also maybe someone already wrote it, but the red chairs you passed by are from the old czech trams :)

The bunker reminded me of my days in SAC (Strategic Air Command) guarding Minuteman II Missiles complexes in Missouri ('73-'75) and South Dakota ('77-'84). Although, my duties were above ground going "downstairs" to the Launch Control Capsule provided insight to the need for such drastic accommodations. Safe travels.

You would make the best tour guide/historian couple. Really admire both of you. ❤

Boy do I feel old….dialing was the only phone we had growing up never had a mobile till I was I. My late 30’s I’m 62 now.

What a great video you guys. I couldn't do that unless I had to. And that place underscores the have to. Do you think any of the old equipment still works?

Very cool, thank you for the tour. Be safe.

I don't think so. This is not a bunker anymore. Just a tourist attraction.

I've been in a bunker tour - I believe it was Berlin (visited a couple dozen bunkers, so that's why I'm not sure) and it wasn't a hotel, just a museeum - where they "simulated" a nuclear attack. All screens showed footage of a nuclear explosion, the bunker was closed off and a really good narrator went through the tour. This was wild and creepy.

That hostel reminds me of the movie Hostel. And hell no to spiders.

There were button land lines after the rotary phones. Looks weird now but didn’t back in time 😊

And! There's also escape room/game in the bunker, which is quite fun, so can recommend even more! :)

Hi 👋, Amazing video, thank you for sharing your amazing experience, There is definitely a lot of dark side to Europe, a lot that is NOT made public, unless you start to dig, on the internet 🛜, even to this day, still not good to dig , I used to live in the UK, which you were thought we’ve been good, very questionable, I now live in part of Europe, France, and things that I’ve heard and seen over the last 13 years is very spooky, But is still an amazing place to go and visit with beautiful scenery. Amazing food, some of the people can be a bit abrupt, Sometimes I don’t sleep very well, so I go for a walk at night time even at night. It seems strange, but I find it very very soothing , calming, Great to see that you are keeping yourself safe, locked up in a bunker all night, it is a good job that you are doing a lot of walking, especially as some of that water you are drinking ha ha , 😂 it’s very fattening, we all look forward to your next upload of your next destination. Stay safe, don’t let the bogeyman get you, 😂😂😂 , no spiders, Phil from the moulin

"the people can be a bit abrupt"? Actually I've heard that (only twice in my life) about inner city Paris but when you get outside the city people are as friendly as anywhere. That dark side might come from two world wars (actually one long and stupid war) and old memories die hard. I'm just guessing as to what you're referring to. My parents were liberated in 45 and my mom never got over that. I once introduced her to my girlfriend whose parents escaped from Germany because they saw what was coming. First words out of her mouth "Normally I don't like Germans but you seem okay". Gee thanks mom!

love to follow along on your journey. If you come to Denmark and need a place to sleep - we are ready with bed and food 🇩🇰🥰 love Susanne and Dan

You two are so awesome! I live your adventurous spirit willing to try anything. So no sleeping with spiders and no to sardine spread😂 Natalie you did a really good job at being our tour guide at the bunker. I can tell yall are having so much fun.

I have a friend in Prague if you are interested for your likely return. Also, the country’s official name is now Czechia . Interesting story of how CR and Slovakia separated peacefully.

Sooo awesome epik video

This was very cool. We recently visited the Titan Missel Museum which is also from this time period. Although I think it was even a more real to the people where you are.

I hope your Van is ok, Vegas was hit with heavy rain and major flooding.

Brno has an awesome motor racing circuit DONT let that sardine spread put you off sardines….commonly served as a whole fish as a starter, or possibly could be a main course, in Mediterranean countries, especially Greece. Fresh sardines are small in size and delicious, usually served grilled…..believe me! …I know u don’t, but trust me on this one!😂

I love learning the history and would definitely stay here for the experience.

Being a retired military guy and having slept in quite a few war bunkers and empty ammo bunkers. That bunker is the standard fare, a home away from home.

Did you post something on Monday? Didn't see an update since the bunker 😢

I remember playtime/actual lessons on how to use the phone in kindergarten. Must’ve been 45 years ago, and it was a rotary phone. One thing’s for sure, trying to call emergency services on a rotary phone is distressing. 😂

I was never that interested in History when I was in school but I’ve recently been reading a fiction series the Zion Covenant series by Bodie Theone. It was fictional characters but based on historical fact. All of the places you are visiting were in the books. Hitler just kept on coming and taking over more countries. It was depressing and I had to stop reading for awhile. I’m on the 4th out of 6 books. Those books made it very real to me.

You guys are such good sports! If you really want to visit a place with a very dark history check out the House of Terror in Budapest. The streetcars shown in your video look exactly like (the colour and shape) the ones in Toronto. I just thought that was funny. I look so forward to your videos! Thanks again for taking us along.

They just look similar. Czech trams were made by Czech companies, most by Tatra and Škoda, or Vario.

I found your channel a couple weeks ago and went back and started watching when Saguaro hit the road while also keeping up with the recent vlogs since Germany. I find the videos fun and interesting , especially because you include history or facts about the places you visit. Keep having fun.

Not sure I could do it!

Your review should be: (I am writing to inform my superiors that my tour ended without incident.) or something like that. LoL

Nice vid! FYI, there used to be a restaurant in the bunker, called Milk Bar, that's what the section in 13:03 was for. It was owned by a famous slovak chef. :) Had a schnitzel and potato salad there once... and beer of course. :D Nice experience, with socialist adds playing in the background.

I just came across you guys. If you come back through Germany and have a day for Hannover I can show you around!

Awesome videos sorry I’m sooo late

I was a child of the Cold War. I grew up in Florida so the threat of attack from Cuba was considered a real thing in the ‘60s. In elementary school we did drills(duck and cover/ Tommy Turtle). Never could figure out how a desk could save me from a nuclear bomb. Might have known to much considering my father was Army National Guard

I grew up in that era also. It's long ago, but I don't remember us doing the hide under the desk cliche. If I recall, we went out into the halls and crouched down facing the walls. That made sense, because we would be protected from shrapnel from the classroom windows. I do remember being somewhat scared by the pictures in Time of the Russian missile sites in Cuba....
