2004.09.18 in Prague

To redeem myself of the loss of Praha pics from yesterday, we found a camera store to burn our memory cards before we repeated the highlights of our walking tour. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the magnificent city views from the Praha Castle but Le took some good ones. We tried the other recommended restaurant for dinner and this time it was a real Czech restaurant without an English menu or tourists. We found it easily yesterday as we were looking for Pravek. It was a challenge ordering but the waiter understood us well enough. We picked 2 appetizers blindly and ordered the goulash with dumplings. The beef stew was great and the dumplings, too (just soft bread really).

Both of these restaurants are near the major metro station, Andel, and we hurried from there to Old Town Square again to catch a 1 hour classical music concert. The concert featured Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Vivaldi's Stabat Mater, and finally Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - all performed by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra in an old church known for its acoustics. We were a few minutes late so our seats were in the back but hearing the music live was great and worth the 250kc ticket.

We bought some souvenirs we scoped out the night before heading to a nearby night club called Darling. The Topvar beer was 99kc but mixed drinks were a whopping 490kc! Holy crap...

Beer Rating of the Day: Topvar = 2 out of 5 stars
