More about Prague

Ok like promised here some more of the stuff we did in Prague.

First of all, a specialty called TRDELNIK. It's a sweet pastry and being sold on the markets and some stalls on the road. The dough is wrapped around a mold and then fried on open fire. Brushed with sugar and spices. Then outside it gets crispy and soft inside. It's quite yummy though very sweet.







Walking through Prague it's one of the things you have to eat. Ok. Here finally I am enjoying it....Hmmmmmmm!!!!! Yummy!!!!!











Another major tourist attraction is the  Prague Castle. It's a large medieval (unique architectural) complex with courtyards, palaces, cathedral, convent and the popular Golden Lane. For sure you have a beautiful view once you're up there.












We headed towards the famous Golden Lane. Be prepared the entrance fee is hefty. It's not possible to only buy a ticket for the Golden Lane but you have to buy one for the small tour and then it's Krona 250. (around 10 Euro). In No 22 Franz Kafka lived for about a year and wrote "A country doctor".
The Golden Lane is a sort of museum and souvenirs are sold.





Then we went down and towards Karlov Bridge. You can't miss it. Everybody is walking in that direction. From the bridge you have a beautiful view over the Moldau. It seems especially the sunset is magnificent although on that day it was cloudy. On the bridge between many tourists, you find painters, caricaturists, musicians.
