We probably could have left today but I really love Prague and am glad we stayed. We have already hit most of the main tourist attractions so today we just played it by ear.
Then we decided to hop on the next trolley that drove by and took it to the end just to see the real part of Prague. We took Trolley 17. 3 dogs and their owners got on board the first stop after we got boarded. They were cute and seemed to enjoy the ride until one if them got sick! The owners did clean it up which was good. Poor dog.
We made it to the end of the line and found ourselves at a grocery store. Grocery stores in foreign countries are one of my favorite things to do for a couple reasons!
A) Obviously, there are things you never knew existed.
B) Things get lost in translation
C) Cheesy marketing campaigns make you wonder if people think our marketing campaigns are completely over the top.
D) They have figured out a better way to do things….why waste your time putting PEZ candies into the dispensers when you can just eat them like an adult!
When we were checking out, the cashier was fabulous with Caitlyn and taught her some Czec. FYI “Ahoy” means hello in Czec!
We drove past some really nice houses with beautiful gardens….
But then we also went by nice houses that backed up to some “not so nice houses” as well. There were also lots of ugly apartment blocks.
There is a lot of graffiti here. It makes me wonder if people ever have guilt about the things they have ruined with paint or markers.
Halfway back, the guy in the picture below approached me and showed me a metal pin. I honestly thought he was trying to sell me something and I quickly responded “No Thank you” and turned my attention back outside of the window. In a deep, serious and annoyed voice, he asked for our tickets in English.
We handed him the tickets and then he smiled and asked where we were from. The shop we got the tram tickets from only had adult tickets so we bought an adult ticket for Cat as well, an extra 40 cents. I think he thought we got scammed.
We hopped off the trolley shortly after that happened and found a park to eat our snacks we got at the grocery store.
I saw this on another travel blog and loved the idea. We brought 2 bouncy balls with us and just play catch with them when we have down time. It’s a bit like living on the edge because the balls have a mind of their own. You have to watch out for people around you and for yourself when you have a rogue ball! We bought 3 more since we have been here as well. The 2 pictured below are our favorites!
We must have played for an hour at the park. I think that’s where we got most of our “steps” today.
We walked a bit further across the river and found a new park. We came across this obstacle course that was really cool!
Cat and H were being silly on the walk to the hotel.
We decided to go back to Cafe Mozart to watch the clock and have dinner. I just love that thing!
Afterwards, we came home and packed for a day of travel to Vienna tomorrow.
