| Our Lady before Tyn, Praque, Czech Republic |
We arrived in Prague on a train from Vienna close to noon.
As the Palladium mall in Old Town was close to our hotel (and it was extremely
hot-- which made airconditioned malls quite enticing), we decided to have lunch
there. We decided to eat at Old Prague Czech restaurant for some Czech cuisine.
Hubby and I shared some goulash in a bread bowl and a 1kg
roasted pork knee. Of course, even if we were not beer-drinkers, we were in
Prague so we had to get some beer. We got some Staropramen (second largest
brewery in the Czech Republic) which was quite good. Of course, we were
stuffed, but since the meal was not equally shared (haha), I had some space for
sausage at the market for dinner later on.

We joined another free tour, having had a great experience
in Bratislava, this time for Discovery Free Tours. It was just okay for me as I
didn’t learn as much but it did help in getting us acquainted with the sights
around town. We just took in the Old Town Square. In one end stood the Jan Hus
memorial and everywhere I looked, I wanted to take a photograph. The structures
were beautiful all around with the Our Lady Before Tyn, Town Hall with its
Astronomical Clock and pretty much every other building was postcard-worthy.
Thing was, there were just too many people.
We got some tickets from the Via Musica box office beside
the church (Our Lady Before Tyn) to catch a concert (featuring music of Bach,
Handel, Vivaldi and Mozart) at the St. Nicholas church in the evening. The
music was wonderful, as can be expected.
