After a long night sleep, maybe 12 hours for me, I got up and went to grab breakfast. First to Espesso for coffee. I guess the peacoat and no smile threw them… I was greeted with a flurry of Czech. The blank stares were quickly followed with ‘hello’… good… then by ‘cash only’… less good. Luckily they took euros as we haven’t gotten cash yet. While she made my coffee, I asked about the greeting and then she helped me work on my ‘dobry den!’ or good morning. Then to buy kolaches in their natural habitat. I got savory (ham and pizza) as well as sweet.
Madison gets up once I’m back and eats too. Then we leave letting Abigail and Bailley sleep a bit longer… thinking they’ll catch up to us. We walk through the square toward the river… our first sight of the St. Charles bridge and the Prague Castle.
We walked across the bridge, admiring everything we could take in. Ok, no texts and it’s approaching lunch time. So we head back to the apartment… where we wake up Abigail and Bailley after 16 ish hours in bed.
Once everyone was ready, we head back out to start hitting some art we wanted to see. First, the rotating Franz Kafka head…
Then we hit a grocery store for a few things and pushed on to Man Hanging Out.
After that, we had planned on going to the beer museum, but I was not feeling standing extra long. So, we called an audible and headed to the St. Charles bridge so everyone could see it.
We even climbed one of the towers to the top.
After that, we headed back to the apartment to rest a bit. Last push for dinner. No one was super hungry, so we decided to grab food in the little Christmas market area. Prague ham and some potato dish with ham and sauerkraut… all really good.
Then dessert… a chimney cake was a must… and we made it happen.
OK, walk back… stopping to get a few things at a grocery. Then… do we have it in us for one more thing? Evidently, we do or at least think we do. Madison and I got to check a box for ‘had absinthe’. The bar was… ummm, interesting…
Well, 7.86 miles walked… so a power packed first full day!
