The red tiles and the church steeples looked gorgeous in the golden autumn sun. The concierge at the Hilton Downtown Prague suggested that I will enjoy the walk in the old town. Czechoslovakia formerly Bohemia had suffered wars and splitting the country itself when Slovakia was formed in 1939. The capital city Prague or Praha is a typical Central European city with opera houses and theatres.
Prague is preparing for the weekend and with precision the open street market began to emerge on the cobblestone streets mixed with music and dance. I started walking after a great lunch with a non-alcoholic slivovitz!
Franc Kafka lived in the Renaissance house in the old town square. Now it houses a museum and his famous books The trial’s original manuscript was kept, walked along the banks of Vitava river towards the Charles bridge and like all the visitors do dropped some coins into the river! Of course to come back again.
We drove to Cesky Krumlov a beautiful UNESCO heritage town near Prague. There is a beautiful Baroque theatre. This town is famous for yearlong festivals. Artists and craftsman are seen everywhere displaying their creativity. Tasted the best cinnamon tredelnik, a traditional dessert. The setting sun’s rays made the city filled with radiance and the birds are sounding in unison go back and we all need to rest. We started our journey back to Prague.
