continuing on!
thursday was designated ‘get in shape’ day…sort of. k, that’s a lie. but it turned out to be a bit of a workout anyhoo…lots of climbing and stuff. elaine wanted to head up the hills we always walked by in mala strana, so we strolled that-a-ways in the morning…towards petrin hill. the area was similar to the other park system we walked up two days prior, except with extra attractions! like the eiffel tower clone (petrinska rozhledna), the hunger wall, and the mirror maze…which was this small faux-castle with a mirror maze inside and a diorama of some battle that happened on the charles bridge. fascinating stuff.
we made our way down the hill back into mala strana and decided to go see the wallenstein gardens too, which were nice and full of peacocks. we then stumbled onto the vojan gardens by accident (we were looking for bathrooms), walked past the lennon wall (dedicated to john lennon…no one really knows why), had a sausage lunch in wenceslas square, then a beer break at skorepka in stare mesto. i ordered a liter of the tuplak…of course i didnt know i was ordering a liter, but…yea, surprise! it was evening by then, so we caught the free goran bregovic concert in the old town square (very cool btw…check the youtube video above), then ate a shitty dinner at a touristy italian restaurant near the town square. your service sucked!
