Prague - Day 2 (first full day)
I had an OK breakfast... the eggs were cold tho.
As soon as I was done with breakfast, I checked out of the hotel... left my backpack there and went out for a walk.
My first stop was a cyber cafe... I had to download 1.5 Gb worth of pictures.
Then, map on hand, I walked all over the place... made it to the National Museum, then to the Atomic Clock, from what I've heard from the Italian Tourist Guide, is that the building was damaged during the war, but not the tower nor the clock... and in all this time, it had to be fixed just once.
Then I made it to the Tourist Information Office... the one at the train station was closed last night remember..?
The lady had no idea about anything, very different from Germany.
So, I decided to walk some more and see what I like...
I came up to this road, just after the Market Place area... and I see this very nice hotel...
I walked in, asked how much the rooms were for a night... and a very pretty woman said... 70€ with breakfast... and I said, that I have been paying much less at the Marriott's in Germany... so she said how about 50€ a night, with breakfast, free wi-fi, and a double room instead of a single..? deal, I said.
I went up, took all my crap out of my camera backpack, and headed downstairs to ask about a tour of the city.
She helped me find one... she called 3 companies and they were sold out... but she found a 4th one, and they had plenty of room on their English tour... included buffet style dinner, a free drink, pick up and drop off at your hotel... and the bus and boat tour.
So, I had time to go out, walk some more, and then go pick up my backpack... that has no more room for anything... I have to ship some stuff to my sister...
And maybe give some clothes to the poor here.
And now, time for the night tour...
The bus tour was OK, the boat tour was not bad, the food was good, and there I met this couple from Pennsylvania...
He works with the military somehow... and she travels all over the World, they are not married to each other, and they have kids my age... oh, and she told me to go to Budapest for sure..!
Then, I came to the hotel room and decided to take a walk on this beautiful city at night...
Tons of people were still on the streets... I was following a group of 15-20 Italians, that were singling and dancing on the streets... then I stopped and took lots of pictures... walked all over the place again...
They have this cabaret promoters on the street, they invite you to their cabaret for 300€ and a free drink, then you tell them no, and they say, how about 200€ and 5 drinks... and you say no, and their final offer is 200€ and all the drinks you want... and I told them I wasn't drinking because I have to be up at 8:00 hrs and then they said... but you can see the show, and then ask the girls for sex... Still, I have to be up by 8:00 hrs, so here I am at 1:00 hrs, typing my blog. No shows, no alcohol, no girls for me tonight..!
On that note...
Good night, tomorrow morning I am taking a 6 hr walking tour starting at 9:30 hrs.
By the way...
this city is like a Hollywood back lot... but for reals..!
Wait till you see the night pictures..!
