Met Good Prince Wenceslas this morning (Saturday) sitting astride his horse in the weak sunshine at the top of the square named after him. Started the day at the bottom of this huge long street (it's a huge rectangle really) with a heart attack inducing Wenceslas Sausage in a bread roll. I had to try one, just to say I had... Hot, spicy sausage with a crisp skin that burst fatty juice in you mouth as you bite it. Like I said, you only need one... While the flavour is still hot in your mouth they are devine, but once it cools off the fat coats your tongue and throat and it seems to take hours to stop having breakfast again, and again, and again...
The good king with National Museum behind
Like I said previously I joined a free tour which introduced me to Prague and gave me a sense of direction. Although I have got lost a few times since and keep going in circles. But I beleive everyone does this. Now (late Monday) I actually have a better handle on the Old Town but only cause I'm living here...
I had been thinking I'm glad I'm here in the off-season. The crowds are manageable. And then the guide said tourism is 70% down. The English speaking world particularly - UK, USA, Oz, NZ. They are surviving on the local European market - countries that surround Czech Republic. Wait til you see my pics of Charles Bridge 70% down. How the hell the thing hasn't fallen down with the weight during peak season when the market was good...
