Prague- We made it.

Kay and I arrived in Prague this morning after 12 hours of travel.  Our long flight was 8 1/2 hours of which I slept for at least 6…. interrupted of course but we hit the ground running.  Of course we took public transportation to our hotel and followed the carefully worded directions of the hotel.  the streets are Disney sized streets only they are real.  They twist and turn but we made it, dropped our luggage off and met up with a “free” tour- tips only, walking around for 3 hours.  We didn’t think we needed to dress too warm so we dressed warm but we needed more.  After the tour we came back to our hotel and I put on 3 layers of pants not including my undies!  I wore a  turtle neck, fleece pullover, fleece hoodie (using the hoodie and my knit head band)  Topping it off with my Olympic jacket.  Finally we warmed up.   We went to a recommended Czech restaurant.  I had goulash and Kay had turkey schnitzel.  Faa-aat-ning.  Believe me, they need fat here to keep them warm.

After dinner we took a tram ride out of town to buy water, just for the adventure then we hit the famous Christmas market and bought Chestnuts… roasting…..in a foodservice cart…It just doesn’t sound right. Chestnuts taste like pinenuts.  We liked them  DSC_3482 Kay is zonked.  He let me overlap into the empty seat on the airplane flight so I slept  better than he did.  Perks  of being a woman.
