Since it was our last full day, we decided to experience the Czech
breakfast of cake for breakfast, so we went to the one that our landlady had
recommended. It was good cake but for us it is more of dessert than breakfast.
We spent most of the day wandering around old town square and went
to see the clock again, this time at noon to see if it was any different than
the other times of the day. It was the same.
We then spent a bit of time watching the tourist being had by the
street vendors who were selling ham cooked over a wood fire. They were selling
the pork at 89 korunas for 100 grams and potatoes with cabbage mixed at 69
korunas which sounds like a good price. People would ask for one piece of pork
and one potato and they would then put a hefty piece of meat, about 1 kilo and
fill the bowl with potatoes. The bills were coming out at between 1000 and
12000 korunas which would be around $50 for ham and potatoes mixed with cabbage
served on a paper plate. We have been paying around 169 kronas for our meals
outside of the tourist areas.
Tomorrow by the time you wake up we should be close to getting if
not on our flight to Heathrow and in Montreal by evening.
Supper tonight was another Czech meal, Jacques liked his pig
knuckle so much that he wanted some again.
I opted for the chef's surprise which I think was the Czech version of
Quebec poutine. Ham, potato pancake, topped with marinated camembert all
swimming in gravy. There were 2 layers of this. Good but too rich. Oh, and we
mustn't forget the sauerkraut. I think that the only vegetable I have seen since
we entered the Czech Republic is cabbage.
