Prague Day 3 - Pwn it like a Monkey

We took a fairly touristy approach to see some of the surrounding Prague country side. On the way out we saw a lot of the crazy communist buildings they built. They were very ugly and boxy but really helped you imagine life in the communist regime.










The first stop was the bone church. Our guide gave us some direction and then we headed in to the bone church on our own. The bone church is crazy because it is totally decorated with bones - even the chandelier! Afterwards as we headed to the town near the bone church, Kutna Hora, and our guide talked through the background.















We wandered through the town and our guide gave us some activity suggestions for the next hour and half while we were on our own. We went to one of the lunch suggestions at somewhere I don't remember but hopefully Megan does. The town as a whole is touristy but fun.

We made it back by the time our guide recommended but were the only ones to do so. We waited for another 15 minutes while the other chumps showed up and then were whisked away to a beautiful cathedral nearby which was under construction. We walked through the cathedral and then hopped back on the bus back to Prague. We were exhausted and passed out for the ride back.

Since they dropped us off at our hotel, we had some time before our train so we hustled over to Staropramen. We had been there before and knew they were closing soon but we made the last tour of the brewery. This tour was also self guided but you'd go to the next room, press a button and there would be crazy European dance music and then a story about Staropramen. We were the only people there but we managed to ROCK OUT to the music. I hope they had video of the rooms and were laughing at us the whole time. Afterwards, we hit the most important part : tasting. There were a bunch of good beers and since Staropramen is pretty big, it is possible to get their beer in the US.


We checked out of our rooms and left our luggage at the hotel before heading to dinner. We heard that Pivovarsky Dum had good beer and food so we stopped by and grabbed one of the last tables available. We weren't sure what to order, so we ordered EVERYTHING. We did the beer tasting and also ordered tons of different foods (MEGAN WHAT DID WE GET?)















We had some time to kill after dinner and the light was good, so we headed back to take some more pictures of Prague Castle. After wading through tourists at the Charles Bridge, we found our way south to take a picture of the castle. There was a crazy boat festival going on and it was fun to watch their competition from the bridge.

Afterwards, we took the train back to our hotel and took our gear to the train station. Time for our overnight train to Vienna! We were in a private sleeper car. This train was super nice and actually had a shower. We both took a shower before going to bed.

In the middle of the night, Megan had to go to the bathroom and tried to use the bathroom but the door was broken. After trying for a while, she just used the sink. Then she started panicking that we wouldn't be able to open the door so she contacted the train operator to open our door. That was the start of his hatred for Megan.

In the morning, they served us our breakfast and asked if we wanted coffee. We only wanted one (I don't drink coffee) but he brought two anyway. He was fumbling with the door so Megan tried to help by opening the door. She succeeded in opening the door into him and spilling the scalding hot coffee all over him. He screamed AAAARRRRGHGHH and ran away. He then came back with more coffee and Megan tried to open the door to help him again, and hit him once more. He might have murdered us except there were some people in the hallway waiting for their stop. At this point, we got no more coffee. Megan nicknamed him Gollum.
