WOW. So much to tell. In a nutshell: today started at 5:30AM, with a stroll up to Prague Castle, followed by a bike a journey of epic proportions, and ending with beer and potato soup.
Here are some highlights:
I took this at around 6AM on the Charles bridge. Prague is so peaceful in the morning. It's a perfectly innocent looking statue from a distance, right? Take a closer look:
baby head tumors.
Eraserhead?
The faithful companion. This rental bike was the best use of Koruna's I've made yet. Miss her already. She got me many places I would have never ventured.
My first destination: St. Wenceslas square. King Wenceslas is regarded as the only rightful king of the Czechs, everyone else has been borrowing the title. After rising to fame as a righteous man in the church and winning the crown by his good deeds, he was killed by his bipolar brother. His brother then brought him back to Prague to have him exalted and subsequently he became a saint. Go figure?
Next stop was this giant pendulum. This is where a statue of Stalin once stood. After the fall of communism in Prague a statue of Michael Jackson was put up, and now this giant pendulum is there.
This one's for Dr. Malott. I just like the fact that the portapotty company in Prague is called "Toi Toi"
And the view from the Prague Castle: speaks for itself.
And finally my Old Czech Potato Soup.
It was in there, I promise. And it was good.
Here's a slideshow recap of it all:
I'm gonna rent bike again tomorrow, so there will probably be another billion pictures. Havin fun, don't wanna leave!
