Today we walked past the market outside our hostel where Andy stopped to buy a peach. We then walked over to the square with the astronomical clock and bought another Kurtosh cake. It was different than the one in Budapest, but still good. We watched the wooden saints appear in the trap doors. Then we headed over to the Old Jewish Cemetery which we didn’t end up going in. It housed bodies from the ghetto until the late 1700s. We then walked across the river for lunch at Baracnicka Rychta which served authentic Czech food. Andy and I split the beef goulash and pork tenderloin. Before that, Andy also stopped at Cafe Ebel to buy coffee and it was really good. Andy thought it may have been better than the Italian coffee. After lunch, we made our way up to the Prague Castle and saw St. Vitus’ Cathedral, which had interesting gothic architecture. We also saw the Old Royal Palace, Basillica of St George, and the Golden Lane. We also walked through the gardens. On our way back across the river, we stopped at a church with the Infant of Prague where people pray to baby Jesus. We stopped at the tourist booth by the bridge to find out more information about the puppet shows. We wanted to catch the slapstick opera from the Forman’s Mystery Boat Theater, but we couldn’t find it. So we stopped to look at the Dancing House and then the Beer Museum. I thought Andy was thoroughly enjoying learning about the history of beer. By the time we finished up at the Beer Museum, it was time for dinner. We ate at Pivnice in Pivrnce, for some pub grub. We had sirloin with Bohemian dumplings and roasted duck with Bohemian and potato dumplings.
Going on and on
