Day One Hundred and Eighteen: Jackets and Gloves in Prague

Today I visited the Museum of Communism in Prague, Czech Republic. I also ate a traditional baked treat which was cooked by some teens sporting what I can assume was some form of Czech Folk Dress Uniform at a local wine market. Ahh, Prague. It has been a pleasure to spend the past 5 days within your cobblestoned streets filled with sausage dogs and Bvetiny flower stores. The weather has been quite chilly and at one point I was wearing 5 layers plus hat plus gloves plus scarf! Ah, European Autumn. So Stace and I have been staying with the lovely Felicity and Alistair in their comfrotable purple apartment. Across the road is a square that houses an ominous church that clangs its bells at irregular intervals! Awesome.
This is the point that I would post some humourous photos depicting the enjoyment experienced in the city thus far, but seeing as my camera has decided to break after only having it for 4 months, I shall have to resort to the internet to provide me with the images I require...
And so:


This is a 'Euro Foods' hot dog stand in Wenceslas Square. I ate a hot dog here that was as big as a shoe! Or like maybe 30cm long. Yeah, it was my lunch AND dinner.


Yeah so this is what people in Prague could look like. Actually there aren't that many eurotrash victims, however a lot of badly dyed hair...

This is the part where I would like you all to shut your eyes (well maybe after you read this..) and visualise a small smoky pub, established 1762 with 3 impatient waitstaff bringing you the only beer they serve - PILSNER - in a large mug and slopping it on the table. As you await your meal of meat in gravy with bread dumpling, cranberries and cream a middle aged man starts to play a stand up keyboard in corner of the eating area. The drum beat kicks in and he plays the melody, occasionally joining in with badly accented singing or (even better) whistling... YEAH, awesome!!!

So in the two weeks previous to arriving in Prague we were in BERLIN which has become one of my favourite places to be, I really had a thoroughly enjoyable time there. We rode bikes a lot and hung out with many Perthies who we met by favourable coincidence! Berlin has delicious falafels to eat and cheap beers to drink. I shall return.

On Monday we leave for Czesky Krumlov for two nights and then Vienna AND THEN Munich for Oktoberfest and German Family Time!
