Sometimes we have not enough time to do all we would like. It was the case with me, recently.
Even though, the images of the beautiful city that Prague is, are clearly kept on my mind...
Let's wander through the city, without a specific destination.
As we walk along the medieval Charles Bridge, I guess you would like to have a quick stop and....
make a wish as you touch the shiny-like-gold spot on the bottom of one of the 30 statues that are mounted on the balustrade of the Bridge. It is supposed to bring good luck and ensure your return to Prague. Please be sure to touch the right one, not that of the dog...

When we are walking out of the bridge, we start smelling fresh bread.
It also smells sweet, like cinnamon and sugar doughnuts.
Trdelnik is one of the most common pastries to find on Prague’s streets — in fact, three-dimensional invitations to try the rolled pastry hang from storefronts throughout the city, particularly in the tourist neighborhoods.
We come upon this food stand where the so-called Trdelnik is baking. The dough is wrapped around poles and they rotate over a fire until they are cooked.
Did you like the taste? I hope you did....
Still early to have lunch and I presume none of you are tired, hungry, neither. So let's go ahead and pass by...
The Dancing Building
The Looking for Happiness Mushrooms at a small park square
Wow...there's some sound of music... let's look for where it is coming from... Oh, it's from there... Shall we stop for a while and listen to their playing Dvořák ?... It seems everyone agrees with my suggestion... Good!
After a free street concert, we shall have lunch, either at a typical restaurant ...
or at a restaurant serving international dishes....
Let's meet again, soon. In the meantime, I wish a great start of the month to whoever stops by...
A wonderful post, Belita!! I love the way you have organised the photos as a 'Day In Prague'. I really must visit Prague for myself one day, your photos have brought it to life and made me more determined to visit!! As always your shots bring us the rich culture and history of the city, along with it's inhabitants. And the food looks very good, too!! Thank you for letting us accompany you on your tour of the city.
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch! You know, whenever I have a chance to have fun I never miss it. It was the case with this blog post. The food is heavy, as compared with ours, but I liked it. I can't explain to myself why I hadn't been there before but it's better late than never. Prague is definitely worth a visit... Thanks for joining me and good to know you didn't regret the time spent... Prague is definitely worth a visit...
DeleteI love the purple balloons. And Trdelnik and pastry. Such a very colorful city, I could walk for hours with you. Or maybe a ride in a carriage. Thank you for taking me along on the journey. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Benni! Ah, that car with the balloons was one of the cars I saw at a student protest against a measure that was about to be implemented. Thanks for coming along with me to the beautiful European city that Prague is..
DeleteThe production of trdelník has a long tradition in the Slovak town of Skalica (we visited the city some years ago). The original recipe was brought to Skalica at the end of the 18th century by the Transylvanian cook József Gvadányi, a retired Hungarian general. The original recipe is known as Skalický trdelník and was registered in December 2007 as PGI. Great post...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Viera, for the information that I really appreciated...
