Prague tour

Last night we did venture back to the Legenda pub and have a meal.  A little of a disappointment but it did the job and the service and beer were good.

We set out quite late so as to give us a chance to relax and read in bed after breakfast.  We had done enough walking the first day for our entire weekend and our feet were sore and our legs ached.  Our idea was to walk down to the river in time to catch a boat trip that had entertainment and lunch but we think they stopped the lunch trips earlier this month and are only doing the dinner ones.  We walked around the river to the large boat mooring place but nothing was happening other than a few tramps throwing up near the bins.

Claire had read in the guide that there was another popular square called the Wenceslas square where it all seemed to be happening so we decided to walk through the town in that direction and look for a nice place for lunch.

We walked through the Jewish quarter and just before the main square in the old town I spotted a nice restaurant that served Oriental french fusion.  Claire had a look at the menu but decided to walk on.  Big mistake.

We found a nice little square that was rather old fashioned but it had a Hard Rock hidden away.  The last time we visited a Hard Rock was in Las Vegas on our round the world trip.  We popped in for a drink.

We decided not to eat there as it was more than the nice fusion place that we hadn't stopped at.  We carried onto Wenceslas square.

There were all sorts of markets, stalls, restaurants and shops around but all a little too touristy for us.  Glad we saw it though as we hadn't stumbled across this last time here.

There are loads of Crystal places around Prague and when I looked at my map I found that at the end of the square was the museum.  If we turned right there we would be on the road that our hotel is located.  All that walking to the river, around and back into town could have been avoided.

Rather than walk back into town we headed back looking for a place to eat on the way.  Luckily I eventually found a steak house called, “Original Praveky Restaurant”.  It didn't look much from the outside with all the graffiti and all the places here look quite dingy when you look through the window.  I didn't even look open but I tried the door and it was so we went in.  It was like a cave pained with prehistoric cave art; I really liked it.  Mind you, it looked like women had painted the art judging from their dainty hand prints.  Or maybe they were Neanderthal; queer ones.
