Prague, Czech Republic: 9 August 2016
Day 40

Started the day off with a hearty German breakfast.  I am going to miss this... cheese and meat platter, hard cooked or scrambled eggs, muesli, quark and yogurt, fresh fruit and juices and bro hen!  Ah, the roll selection complemented with jams, jellies and Nutella.  Yum!

We took a bit of a detour to go through Pilsen on the way to Prague.  We always have time for a tribute to beer, yes?  Could I spend a couple of months here one summer?  Sure.  Very quaint, old city.  Lots of growth and refurbishing that was quite different from the looks in Leipzig when I was there a few years ago.

 Pulling into Prague we headed straight to our AirBnB.  It was before 2pm check-in time so we strolled around our neighborhood a bit and took time for an early afternoon beverage at Richard's Kitchen.  We will certainly want to go back there during our visit.

We checked into our basement flat and took time to get settled before we went back out to explore.  We found a variety of restaurants and the local Tesco grocery store in our neighborhood.  The local liquor stores, "Alcohole," are on every corner.  No shortage or liquid enjoyment here.  We will head to "old town" tomorrow but for this, our first evening in Prague, we stayed in our local Nove Mesto (new town) area and went for traditional Czech fare with our dinner choices.  After a starter of herring, Justin had boar with special dumplings and I had pork with red cabbage and dumplings.  No beverages with dinner, but our appetizer and two entrees set the bank back about $12.00... Yes, really.
