I am writing this one from Munich as the I have not yet managed to blog about the last two cities...the beers in Germany austria and cekch republic might have something to do with that!
I am going to try remember as much as I can!
PRAGUE- Beer beer beer! Ok so I thought I would make this comment about Germany which is also true but in terms of quality and value the cekch republic wins.
You get a pint here on average of about 40 koruns which works out to be about 1 - 2 euros. The best thing is that the beer tastes great and has so much flavor.
The first night in Prague I definetey took advantage of this travel perk and I can't and don't want to remember exactly how many pints I had! Day 2 in Prague after fully sleeping off the beer I caught the tram into town from the hostel with some Aussies and kiwis from bus about.
Myself and one of the kiwi blokes got lost from the rest of the pack through all the old windy streets. Getting lost in Prague is fantastic....your never really that lost! We got to the top of the mountain for some fantastic views and more so after climbing the stairs to the top of Prague tower. Then meandered through more of the cobblestone lined streets to end up at Prague castle which is really a very old gothic style cathedral...it was time for more beer at that stage. Oh and food....Prague and a lot of this part of Europe is meat lovers heaven...you name it they cook it and cook it well. I had the same duck dish about 3 times in 3 seperate places although I don't like the sour kraut that comes with it, it's pickled cabbages and It does not make cabbage taste any better. That night I set out on a Prague pub crawl tour with some us about gang and that's all I remember of that night! Actually I do remember that it was run by Americans...who really know how to drink!...I think I may or may not have challenged a few to some drinking comps!! I'm sure I won.
Last day in Prague and I decided to have a "me day". These are great days that I designate to myself to do pretty much whatever I want. Feeling pretty seedy from the night before I thought a light walk around town would be a good way to get over it but then I found a hard rock cafe and couldnt help but go in for some hangover food...but then they had hoe garden on tap for about 2-3 euros and i couldn't resist!
Walking around town I found an awesome souvenir of a hand painted west coast eagles babushka doll!It is Definetely the Best souvenir ever and even better that they had ever other afl team except the dockers!!! Haha.
This is probably not the best thing but a good thing about Europe is the mini casinos everywhere, I went into one in Prague and played the pokies and won 1500korun! That's about 50 euros but it wasn't the best thing - I found out when I went to pay for some beers I had that if your playing pokies you get FREE beer!!! Very good value afternoon!
Prague is not as fast paced as some of the other euro cities but it's got some nice things to do and see and a great place to relax and enjoy the beer! Oh and the women and incredibly good looking...there are super model lookalikes everywhere!
