I could not resist the roasted home-bred rabbit with garlic, cabbage, bacon on the menu. Going at 210 czk (approximately €8.40), this traditional Czech dish can be found in most restaurants beside beef or deer goulash.
After letting Jerrain have a bite to taste, I finished the 300-gram meaty plate which came with sauerkraut on the side. It tasted like chicken breast, while the more tender parts had a duck-like texture. It went perfectly with the sauerkraut, red wine and brown bread.
A hearty dinner at Starmomacek Rearaurant near the Old Town Square was a spledid way to end a full day of sight-seeing. We joined the Sandemans New Prague Free tour. Our guide, Colin who was from Scotland, showed us the Astronomical Clock, Statue of Jan Hus, St Nicholas Church, Old Jewish Quarter, Wenceslas Square, House of the Black Madonna and told us lots of stories!!
Jerrain and I spent the rest of the afternoon getting lost in Prague Castle and taking loads of photos.
- Location: Prague, Czech Republic
- Cost: 45 czk hot chocolate, €5 tip for Colin from the New Europe Prague tour, 90 czk soup and hot chocolate, 270 czk traditional Czech dinner
- Highlight: Roasted rabbit
- Hostel: Prague Square Hostel right around the corner of the Old Town Square - Definitely one of our least favourite hostels on this trip. Bathrooms are not only shared, but gender neutral. The bathing cubicles do not have locks so anyone can open the plastic door or peep over the wall while you bathe. Only saving grace is my bed! A ladder in the room leads to a two-metre wide platform above the door, enough for a mattress and some space for my stuff.
- Health: After a day or two of sore throat, I now have a cough. Hope it will go away soon.

Hi Kelz...I'm nursing a cough too! Started off as a sore throat but now it's a cough :( But it's quite funny how we are sort of going through the same thing though we are thousands of miles apart!
ReplyDeleteMiss having you around...feeling nervous as the days go by...nervous about the delivery and everything. Wish you were here..
I'm glad you are having so much fun on your trip. Love reading your blogs...I don't think I would be able to survive the gender neutral bathrooms! Maybe you guys should have taken turns guarding the door while the other bathes?
Anyways, drinks lots of water and get well soon..and it'll probably help if you go easy on the clubbing ;P
I'm excited for you!! I can't imagine how big your tummy must be now. Haha. I'll be Auntie Kelly soon!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm already cutting down on the pub crawls. Was in Prague on a Saturday night, and at the hostel where the pick up is, but I didn't go for it! I should be better soon. Fortunately Jerrain brought lozengers. That will help hold back the cough a little.
