Continued from Prague Day 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I woke up this morning feeling more or less the same as last night when I went to bed. That’s the good news. Still congested but energy level still more or less normal. This means I can have a full day in Prague. I am sure sleeping in until 9 also helps. Today we will just walk around the city and see what it has to offer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBreakfast time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nView from our table. Love the trams that go around town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLasagna. Dinner for breakfast. It was actually very tasty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGuy parks on curb which blocks trash truck which blocks tram.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOur hotel apartment. We live on the top floor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThey had all these classic roasters running around town giving tours of the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCharles Bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBallon for vantage point view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLots of tourists on the Charles Bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLooking back towards Prague Castle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nInteresting museum. Must visit later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDoes it come with happy ending? Did you know that our guidebook mentioned Prague was like the sex capital of the world? Prostitution is illegal, but the government is trying their damn hardest to make it legal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMassive lighters. Shoe for scale.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSeriously, tell us what you really think about Americans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLunch spot. Just kidding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPilsner Urquell is everywhere. Goulash is also offered everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHappy ending?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFirst time for me to see a restaurant that’s part of the “slow food” movement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHow did that car fit into that spot?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course they’d have absinthe shop in Prague.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI’ve never heard of an Indian massage. Whatever it takes to differentiate yourself I guess. Happy ending Indian style?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWTF? Absinth Sperm shot? No thanks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDoh!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTyn Church in Old Town Square.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAstronomical clock in Old Town Square.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI am all about the vantage point views. Let’s do this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDirections on how to get to the top of the tower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTurned right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSecond glass door.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGo along the hall and turn right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFound the elevator.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPretty cool looking elevator shaft.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMirrored ceiling provides for a cool photo opportunity.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the pictures of Prague from the clock tower. The views of cities from up high is always a treat, and Prague is no exception.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOld Town Square.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMore Old Town Square.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTyn Church.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPrague Castle in the distance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAss shot of all of the guys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSaw this ornate door while walking down the stairs back to ground level.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSmoked Ham at one of the food stalls in Old Town Square. Our guidebook also said not to eat food from the street food stalls as it may not be sanitary. We’ll take our chances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCuts off the meat while the spit is turning. Then the meat is sold by weight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo very good, and I don’t even like smoked ham that much.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOn the hour, we kept on hearing, not bells, but trumpets. Finally saw that they had a real trumpet player go up to the tower and play the trumpet at all 4 different sides.<\/p>\n

More food stalls around Old Town Square.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nStrutting in them jorts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLove the trams.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDidn’t know they had Euro plates that were the same dimension as US plates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI would like to do this. We also walked by a pub crawl place, so we will probably do that tonight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBefore heading back to our hotel, I decided to go hit up the museum with the 4 giant guns. Forgot what the name of the museum is, but the exhibit is for provocative art. That’s right up my alley!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This next section will probably offend many people and it does contain nudity. If you are uncomfortable with this section, then you probably shouldn’t read my photo blog ever again.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This one is pretty fucked up, even for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThey had a real model in the museum doing a photo shoot. She was smoking. And on this point, I need to say something about Prague. Before even showing up to Prague, I’ve heard from multiple sources saying that girls in Prague are smoking hot. I’ve been here for a day and a half now and I cannot agree with that statement. Italian girls are still the hottest so far. Everyone in our group agrees that we have not see the hotness that we were told to expect. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis isn’t provocative and it isn’t art. At least not in my book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHoly crap, look at how structurally weak those stairs are. Let’s see. Ex communist country that skimp out on construction…..Are there even rebars in those stairs?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHoly shit. I look down and I see giant cracks in the stairs….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nYeah, I am walking on the side closest to the wall up and down the stairs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSupport holding the gymnast Jesus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGiant I-beam and then you’ve got two tiny bolts holding the whole thing up? Seriously?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nView from the museum window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nYup, that’s a very realistic painting. It was awesome!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI enjoyed this but I don’t understand what it has to do with art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nYet another painting that’s so realistic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nA random room in the museum with what I’d imagine the old mural leftover from the building when it’s seen better days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNike Burqa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhat’s this? Don’t say “Talk to the hand!”?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThat’s enough walking for now. Time to cross the Charles bridge and head back to hotel to rest then eat dinner.<\/p>\n
