Central Europe 2018

New Town

Found the Hraldska Market in the Old Town but if it were not for the beautifully displayed fruits we wouldn’t have found anything that evoked old world market. We did, however, on our way through New Town stumble into a real neighborhood market where we enjoyed the ambience a great deal.

Next up the Narodni Muzeum/National Muzeum – a beautiful building with mostly empty rooms except for their Czech leaders “Pantheon”.

Narodni Muzeum

Saw the least appealing Gehry designed building I’ve encountered yet.

And then we crossed the river to have a lovely lunch and gorgeous view from the Manu Restaurant. It sits on an island in the river. We were treated to our lunch by Ron and Else Nichols who had been here just months ago! Special!

The walk back took us across Shooters Island and through a children’s festival. It’s fun to see families out together enjoying themselves. And to hear there laughter. We saw lots of toys and games we didn’t recognize, but they all had children smiling.

Did I mention that dessert habit? Coffee, Tiramisu and Profiteroles in the square ……….. Dobrou Noc

We’re encountering large groups of grooms men on bachelor weekends. They’re pretty intent on drinking to excess! Our driver, Martin, says many of the groups fly over from the UK for their debauchery. We did see a couple smaller bachelorette groups too. And the square is being set for something tomorrow!
