So yesterday we started on the Tour-de-Prague and this morning when the alarm went off, I just couldn't get up, too tired.
So today we are starting a bit later and slower than we did yesterday.
Prague is absolutely beautiful, the buildings, architecture just the history that surrounds you everywhere is amazing.
We did the grand tour from the Castle area through the castle gardens through "Little Town" (where we live) via the Karl's Bridge to "Old Town". We followed the old King's Coronation Walk, were on the Old City Town Square at noon and watched the astronomical clock change. Visited the Jewish Quarter, went to the Mucha Museum which is small but so worth seeing if you're into the Art Deco period, got a bit off course when going to Wenceslav Square and then walked on to the train station where we bought our tickets to Vienna for Wednesday.
I am feeling a bit weird about those tickets - they were so cheap that I am suspecting that something must be wrong - how else can 5 hrs of train ride with a seat reservation only cost you $10? Maybe it's only a really expensive seat reservation...we shall find out on Wednesday if they kick us off the train.
Besides that we have already tried 4 different kinds of beer, it really is fantastic and .4 l will cost you $2 if you don't go to the tourist traps.
My favorite so far is a dark beer called Kalzen (I think not so sure now) it is creamy and not bitter and I have no idea how the Czechs do it but it's goo-hood.
I am also enjoying a steady intake of Milka chocolate as well as Coca Cola Light.
Observations so far (completely not objective and probably offensive):
- I have have seen more fanny packs (spelling?) yesterday than I have seen in the last year alltogether.
(Tourists must take the pickpocket warnings seriously)
- More mullets/square mile since the 80s (Or this unfortunate hair style is making a comeback and it hasn't reached the states yet)
- Deodorant seems to be hard to come by - B.O. galore...everywhere!
- People at the train station are RUDE AND DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH (or German, French, Spanish, Italian)
