Charles Bridge Tower |
After we has sufficiently enjoyed the grounds & views, we trekked back down the hill from the Castle in search of some food...we first ended up going past another brewery, the St. Thomas brewery at the Augustine Hotel, which did not open until 3:30, so we settled for trying their dark lager at the hotel bar. For lunch, we ended up back at Malostranska Beseda where we had enjoyed our first meal in Prague - yet again, amazing grub, and most friendly waitress.
Our last stop on the walking tour for the day was to fond the John Lennon wall - back in the 80's Lennon was seen as a hero of sorts to young Czechs & after his death, a graffiti image of him was painted on this secluded wall that is across from the French Embassy. Authorities white-washed the wall, but the graffiti returned. Every time the wall was re-painted, the graffiti (some of which could be considered artwork) of political words, images, and Beatles lyrics would reappear. I'm not sure how long this went on, but eventually the graffiti was left alone, other than addition of more - so over the years what appears on the wall has changed.


With a lot of miles put in the last 2 days, we were ready to head back to the B&B to get organized for leaving in the morning, figure out our plan for Munich, and to rest the feet. We did have to head out one more time to pick up transit passes for the morning, which we were glad we did as we ended up needing to trek to the subway station to get them and we would not have been doing that first thing in the morning. With those in hand, time for one last meal & Pilsner before calling it a night...seriously Malostranska Beseda is so good, we went back there, and had our same friendly waitress from earlier in the day. This place will definitely get a great TripAdvisor review from us.
To sum up Prague - so far has been the highlight of the trip. Phenominal city, from it's beauty, architecture, ease of walking around, friendliness & laid back nature of the people, and unbelievable prices put it high on our list!
Beers for the day: Sv. Norbert Christmas Dunkel, Sv. Norbert IPA, St. Thomas Dark Lager
