Prague ... Day Six

Sleeping in on vacation is one of the perks that we fully took advantage of.  Especially since we had been walking so much the day before, it was heavenly.  We woke up to the sun shining, which we hadn't seen much of since we arrived.   That gave us a little pep in our step.

 
We each had one of our tasty strawberry bars to get us started = best start to the day.  We decided to try a different coffee house that morning.  D's choice was much prettier than mine.  I loved the cup, thus a pretty picture.

So the ground was definitely still covered in snow, but with the sun out, it was quite pleasant.  Our itinerary for the day was really just to go see the Jewish Cemetery and wander around to places we haven't been.   We walked towards the Jewish cemetery and ended up walking around the outside gate prior to finding the entrance.  We were able to take some pictures of the head stones.  They are unsure how many are buried here, but they estimate around 12,000 head stones and more that were not given a stone.   

We finally made it around the exterior and found the entrance.  It's really hidden in the middle of town.  We didn't actually end up going in, since mostly we wanted to see the stones and they were covered in piles of snow.  We walked around the area and took more pictures of exteriors and the city. 

We stumbled upon the fancy area of Praha that had all the high end hotels and shopping.  We window shopped and followed that block around until it ended us back in the square again.  It was nice outside, so we enjoyed some of the street performers and live music that was out that afternoon.

 

By that point we were starving and lunch was on the mind.  D had been having his eye on the kebab's for the last few days, so he found a place that was supposed to be yummy, and we walked to the opposite side of our place to find lunch.  This little restaurant was on a street we hadn't been before.  It was small, but people were there, which I always take as a good sign.

We both got the Doner kebab for lunch, which was massive and delicious.  They cut their meat pretty thin, but the bread, veggies and spicy sauce was spot on.  This was my favorite kebab of the trip!

So after we stuffed our faces, we were walking back around the block to our place when a HUGE piece of snow fell off the roof right in front of D.  It scared the crap out of me and luckily didn't hit either of us.  Holy cow, that was unexpected, so needless to stay the rest of the day we walked a little further out from the buildings. 

This was our road.  We are the middle door on the right, you can kind of see D peaking out. 

Our door was crazy, the amount of locks made you have to turn the key five times before it was open.  We went into a small store on the way back to get a few things for the train ride the next day.  We did stop at our place and I, of course, stole some cake that we had gotten on the way back.  It was a chocolate cake, not super sweet, but hit the spot.



After resting our feet for a short while, we ended up walking to another brewery, and like most things in Europe, they weren't open yet.  It was too early in the day.  So that lead us to do some more window shopping.  We went into this outdoor store looking for a hat and left with laundry detergent.  We figured we would need some along the way.  We stumbled upon this larger market that was my heaven.  They had a massive selection of sausages, so we decided dinner that night would be us cooking in.

Since they all looked so wonderful, we picked 4 out and ended up with some fresh bread and cheese to start the night with.  We also stocked the fridge with some local beers and still had dessert from earlier.  We weren't too far from our place, so we took our goodies back to the fridge and then ventured back out to the brewery.
 

 

We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few beers.  I got this 'pink' beer that they had brewed especially for the ladies on Valentine's day.   It came in the smallest, cutest glass and the foam was pink.  It was actually pretty good.  I was a little hesitant.

 

By that point, we decided we should get back and try to do some laundry.  We went and got a few more beers for dinner and walked back in the mist.  We were gross by the time we got back.  I ended up starting dinner and D started laundry.  We ate and cooked in our undies, it was pretty great.

We started out with the cheese, which was a great decision!  The herbs made it so much better.
 

I cooked the sausages in beer which caramelized the outside slightly.  I bit into the small one and juice flew across the room. D cut into one and it shot on my cup, table, wall and curtains.  We were laughing hysterically, maybe the beer wasn't the best idea.  We did good though, the sausages we picked were quite tasty.  I'd say we went a little crazy with getting 4!  D loved the darker red one.  Two of them actually had a pretty tough casing and were pretty tough to eat, but still had great flavor.  Needless to say, we enjoyed every last bite and ended with dessert.

The rest of the night we finished laundry, or trying to figure out how to use the dual wash/dryer.  We just hoped that our clothes were dry by the morning.  We turned on the TV and ended up watching The Mexican while packing, which was dubbed over in Czech.  It took us a while to figure out what movie it was.  We had never seen it before, but it was quite hilarious to watch in another language.  It ended up that we did have to get up in the middle of the night to take out semi dried laundry.  We laid it out so it - hopefully - would dry by the morning.
