whups…been busy these last few days. continuing our czech sojourn…
we had breakfast monday morning in the hotel restaurant. pretty good for your standard continental breakfast. on a side note, they called hash browns “mashburns“…i heckled, then immediately adopted this funny new vernacular. mmm…mashburns. yurrrmmm…
PRAGUE CASTLE
we immediately headed out towards prague castle. given that it’s the prime attraction of the city, we thought we’d hit it up as soon as we could. prague castle isn’t so much a “castle” as it is a massive complex (tho i think it’s officially the largest “castle” in the world). there’s no recognizable bailey, turrets, or even pronounced castle walls (there are walls…they just don’t look like your typical castle walls). the most prominent silhouette of prague castle is of course st. vitus cathedral, which was pretty boss. we roamed the cathedral for a fair bit, along with a few side chapels. the castle grounds themselves were pretty nice too…old golden lane, some of the older medieval aspects left intact, the castle gardens, etc.
afterwards we had dinner at a small restaurant near the base of the charles river on the mala strana side called biskupsky dum. i had to write that down. it’s not exactly something i can go back and google for. actually…i wrote down all the restaurants we went to, because half the time we couldn’t even pronounce it.
