We went to a Guinness record holding store today. For the most beautiful dairy!!! And beautiful it was. The entire wall was covered with enamelled tiles. But I was more excited to hear that a dairy in germany was world famous. I could expect that from Switzerland or new Zealand or even from the farting cOws of England. We had a wonderful sinful meal of cheese soup and more cheese with fresh baguette and the suggested buttermilk. Hmm hmm! Picked up fantastic apricot jam with wasabi flavour and some yet to taste -chocolates.
As we drove down to Prague the entire scene changed. Suddenly kids were allowed to pull down their pants and pee on the grass next to parked cars and men were stopping at road bends and openly peeing. The drivers were cutting into lanes. There was honking. The buildings changed.
Everyone who heard I was going to Prague had a sparkle in their eye when they spoke about this city. I have loved it too. But beneath the beautiful facade I find, lies the public who Is clawing its way up. The need to please is very intense. The need to be a part of the EU as a valuable member has them under immense pressure. But it's pretty. And the effort being made is supremely visible and tremendously apreciated.
Tomorrow we are going to see the Prague castle. It's massive. And we have these quaint attic rooms with the castle view, in a hotel which is part monastery. (we tasted the monastery brewed beer ) and I hereby dedicate my life to this monastery.
