16-June: 2nd Day in Prague

Today began as a cool, but sunny day outside.  We started off with another nice breakfast and began the trek to a laundromat to wash clothes.  We have been washing everything in the sink, but decided that it was time to wash everything really well.  After washing clothes, we decided to take the easy way back on adventured into the metro.  The metro in Prague is very deep underground.  You ride an escalator down (not even stairs, only escalator) about 170 ft.  After that, it is similar to all the other metros we've used in Europe. 

For dinner we went to a medieval themed restaurant to find some wild food, and luckily, it was right near our hotel... so not too far to walk.  Turned out to be a little too wild for our tastes.  Meghan got some sort of goulash, but it was more like a smorgasbord of food, there were 9 different things:  potatoes, potato bread, potato dumplings, beef in Budweiser sauce (the Czech version of Budweiser), bacon, some weird sausage thing, potato pancakes, fried egg, and a huge banana pepper.  I got a turkey fillet filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon, with Czech style mashed potatoes on the side... the food was good, just a little too much for us to handle, especially Meghan's, 9 different foods is too much for one plate.

After dinner, we decided to get dessert... another mistake.  We went to a cafe with good reviews, but had crappy service and terrible food.  It's pretty bad when a cafe messes up crepes with cream cheese and strawberries.  Meghan ordered hot chocolate, and it came out cold!  We then decided that we've had enough for a day and decided we'd try again tomorrow.
